Does anyone know how to get multiple caption tracks to show at the same time? I have two people talikng at the same time and I wanted to time the captions seperately.
Im currently using the latest captions workflow introduced in the 2021 update.
Actually ... right-click in the Text box over the current caption text area. Sorry, I mis-wrote it here.

When in doubt try to find the answer on YouTube. I have found much better explanations to issues that I have had with Adobe PP on there. You might have to do some searching but it's much better than trying to read through all the attempts to fix the issue through the feeds on your post. I found a great quick video that was PERFECT for what I was needing.
In my video, both my wife and I each wore a DJI wireless microphone. Since I was the only one filming, I still wanted to capture my wife's

i had a hiccup but figured it out. the srt export starts at the beginning of the sequence rather than the 'in' point. learning as i go.

Glad to help...and even though your post is from a few years ago, I hope you can add this trick to your creative toolbox.
I cannot wait to use this trick when I upload some of the podcasts I had the opportunity to be on this past year. Some of them had just two people (1 host and 1 guest). However, I have another podcast that I was on that had three people on screen at the same time (1 host and 2 guests).

Thanks for posting. There's now an additional method.
"Upgrade Caption to Graphic," was introduced with PR 23.1 - Dec 2022. See:

You reminded me to update my post that showed many of the old workarounds to add this information:

Just to confirm, if we use a workaround like converting a subtitle track to graphics or the nesting option, we can't export either of those as part of a subtitle file that we would later upload to YouTube, right? If so, is there still no way to have multiple subtitle tracks to meet this particular use case? I'm hoping I'm just missing something and that Adobe didn't fail to realize that sometimes two speakers talk at the same time *and* we may want closed captioning since some viewers will want them and some won't.

I assume you are exporting one track per sidecar.
Correct, you can't export sidecars from captions upgraded to graphics. As I said in the update to my faq-workaround post, "When upgraded, the captions are removed from the caption track, so if you need to export srt or similar, duplicate that caption track before converting."
You can export a sidecar from a nest that has the captions - just open the nest and they are still captions. HOWEVER, the nest is still the full sequence with all the captions - there are no updates if you have edited once the nest was in your main sequence.
If your goal is to export sidecars, I think the best method is to duplicate the caption tracks and use nest or upgrade so you can see the different tracks while editing, but you then have the caption tracks for export.
