Annoying CHANGES that cost me hours

All I want to do is 2 simple things:

1) Create subtitles on my video

2) put a back background on them with white writing

And it has taken me 4 hours so far and I still can't work out how to do it.

All youtube videos are out of date because adobe removed the "essential control" pannels

I pay £30 a month for spending 4 hours trying to find out how to do a simple thing and still I don't know how to do it.

I have been to properties tab and it does not let me add background to my captions.

If anyone can shed any light on what I need to do then please do so. Thank you.

I worked out that the panel options were actually missing. The reason I could not do the subtitles was the fact I did not have the option to do so. Strangely, the original old "Essential Graphics" suddenly appeared to my right, so literally the layout changed after posting this on the forum, I have the screenshot of what I could see and there is tons missing from the panel. If you are struggling to find the options check you actually have the right options in the first place.

Which specific build are you using? As in " 25.1 build 18 " or whatever.

And was this a project created in 24.3 or in a 25.x build?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

If you used captions instead of subtitles...

I think I have the issue. In that there is MISSING bits on my panels, like where is font size, background etc sometimes it is there sometimes it is gone. Please see picture:
