How do I use a captions-file as subtitles (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

[Mwarren]

I've finished work on an 07:23 scientific video. As a final step, I need to add subtitles to this video, so I farmed that out to Rev.com. They sent me back captions in SCC format. However, I can get neither of them to display as subtitles, try as I might. I have taken the following steps:

I clicked on the wrench, opened up the Closed Caption display settings. Here's what it looks like:

So I hit OK. Then I Enabled those settings. I plopped my caption onto the topmost layer and... nothing happens.

I can double-click on the item and it brings up this editing window.

Note my highlight. I can't change this value and I'm guessing it might play a role.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you might have. I have run out of things to try.

Set the display to 608, not open subtitling.

Thanks Stan. I have done that. Now I see my subtitles.

I can't change font formatting or otherwise shift where text appears. Is there a way to do either?

Turns out they need to be conventional captions after all. D'oh!
