Cutting caption streams should not have the effect you describe, but I would try to avoid it.

 

Please post a screenshot of your Caption Panel. I am looking for the specific type of captions (Closed 708, etc). 

 

Are all the captions on one layer? A possible workaround is to export a sidecar file (srt should be fine) FROM the sequence. You do this by selecting the sequence in the Project Panel, then File -> Export -> Captions. Then reimport it and use it instead. This basically removes the cuts from the stream.

Are the changes there and then not there when you reopend the project? Or you can never see the change?

 

Do you see the change in the Caption Panel but not the Program Monitor? 

 

Did you duplicate the caption stream in Premiere?

It makes the change, I save it.  I play it and you can see the change. However after if i go back and play again, it resets back to the mistake and never keeps the change.  I see the change in the caption panel and program monitor only once directly after the change. If i watch it again it resets back.

 

I cut the caption stream and put another caption screen in between it. Is it because i split the caption stream?

 

Thanks for quick reply
