CAN'T Edit Caption style in Latest Premiere Pro 25.0

[ISBONNY]

I just updated the 2025 version. I imported the .srt file and found that the panel for adjusting subtitles in Previous Essential Graphic disappeared. I couldn’t find any settings to change the subtitle font, color, and size in the New " Graphic Template " Panel .

Does anyone know where to find it?

I confirm that nothing can be changed when creating a subtitle string

Huge Thanks!

Either I am stupid or it simply does not help with the problem:

Where exactly does the new properties panel give me any option to edit the subtitle style. I need to burn in some subtitles in specific formatting, fonts and colors. How do I do that?

[Christopher32924779ruid]

Agreed. This is an absolute deal breaker for me. Currently finding other software.

Select your subtitles in the timeline and the Properties panel will give you all the options.

[Sebastian225172107ogv]

You have captions, I have subtitles. How do I turn my subtitles into captions?

same problem !! im like two hours trying to figure it out !! i think they missed it , we cant really change the font after inserting an srt format as a subtitle !!! thats crazy 

[Ann Bens]

Screenshot shows subtitles.

If you are using graphics as subtitles?

Same scenario.

Changing graphics to captions is a different question: have no idea.

[Sebastian225172107ogv]

This is how it looks for me (thought there maybe a difference between subtitles and captions)

I was struggling with this too, nothing at all in the properties panel for subtitle clips. What fixed it for me was a File > Save a Copy. Now the new file and the original are suddenly showing the subtitles properties panel correctly.

Thanks, did the thing about creating a copy and the properties were restored 

[bi2012]

thank you so much for this recomendation, i was getting crazy trying to format my captions. and it works. hopefully they fix this bug soon. thanks owen!

[PB_BetoP]

I can confirm this work for me, after copying my project I was able to edit captions on the 'Properties' window, much appreciated. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

[Eduardo_Flores3767]

Thanks! Works for me too

[claudio0D44]

It worked for me too, thank a lot!!!
I believe this new version is still a little bit bugged up.

Finaly a real temp solution. I was scouring the internet for solution for this.

[Eduardo_Flores3767]

Looks the same for me

Do you, or does anyone, know whether we still have the ability to edit multiple subtitles simultaneously in Premiere Pro 25? I'm able to access "properties" and edit by double-clicking one subtitle, but it's not allowing me to select all subtitles and double-click to open properties. To be clear, I can select all subtitles, but I can't open properties and make the same changes to font size, style, etc. all at once like I used to. The thought of having to make these edits one subtitle at a time would be awful!

[Eduardo_Flores3767]

I can't see any options in properties panel when select a caption. 

[Oisín33413845i7aw]

Thank you for this! I was going crazy. This has solved my question.

Always so many bugs like this in Adobe software that drive you crazy. Edit v1 was able to format the caption fine. V2 had to add a drop shadow in and now the settings can't be found. Figuring out bugs like this over the years has probably cost my employer thousands. Dynamic link was the only thing keeping us with Adobe and that's been falling apart on another edit too. So moving to Resolve at the start of the new year.

what if you click the properties panel, but it doesn't show anything? I created these captions by transcribing the sequence, and then clicking "generate captions" from there. I am trying to figure out how to change the fonts, and I can't figure out what to do. The adobe info page still refers you to the "Essential Graphics" tab, which I obviously don't have anymore. Did I make the captions in the wrong way?

[vonviz]

Ignore me lol. The copy method worked for me, too. I realized I had the original open, still, not the copy.
