SOLUTION: Unable to Add Captions - [Branched & moved from 2012 topic]

[nokkon_wood]

If you can't add captions, you have to right-click the Essential Graphics panel and choose to reset to the saved layout. It's as simple as that.

Mod note: Edited for content. You were referring to a post about Premiere Pro v.12.0 captions. The captions feature has been completely rewritten since then. That is why the topic was locked.

You resurrected a very old topic from 2012, so I moved this to a NEW topic for you.

In the future, when discussions are locked, it's usually for a reason. Feel free to start a new topic.

Thanks for your feedback to the 7 year old discussion about Premiere Captions.

the community appreciates it!!!!

I ran in to this hiccup in the 2020 version im running! (all prior to 2021)

it was really annoying but such a simple fix - surprised no one at Adobe solved it for the community and locked it so no one else could...

The solution makes more sense with the problem so ive attached the context below for the adobe community; NEW threads unfortunatly dont include the OP and all attachments. It can also be found here:

Please Adobe, stop being so lock happy with threads.
