Is it possible to make the background of open captions transparent? (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

I'm in Premiere Pro CC2019 13.1.4

I have a set of open captions imported from an SRT file. I can change the colour of both the text and the background, but what I want is for the captions to have no background (i.e. transparent background). How do I do this please?
I can only see how to change the background colour via the colour picker, but that gives me no option for transparency (or zero opacity).

 

thanks

The "100%" to the right of the ink dropper is opacity. Give that a try!

Two ways. Use the "Import Settings" button in the Caption Panel to set such things on import. Or you can select multiple captions in the Captiin Panel and change there.

That's it! Thank you - solved.

Out of interest - do you know how to apply a specific set of changes to multiple captions in the captions panel? I have imported an SRT file with the captions for a 10-minute film (so quite a few captions). For each caption I need to change the font size, position, and background opacity - it's quite time-consuming, is there a copy and paste attributes function? cheers

Confirm that PR has this as Open Captions.

 

Do you not see the opacity option?

I've imported the SRT file, I assume they are open captions because of the options I see there (see screenshot). But I don't see any further settings or info screens.
