Subtitle in Premier Pro update 15.0, can I create Ghost box for subtitles rather than the full one?

Question

Hi,

I have been subtitling in Premier and with the update I wanted to now if there are other options for subtitle boxing, for older projects I have Ghost Box and I'd like o match that style for similar projects.

Thanks

I think you are describing the background style that I am going to call "Adaptive Per Line" - Each line get a background added based on each lines length. The current method is, I'll call it, "Adaptive Per Multiline" - Each caption block gets a background based on the maximum line length.

I think there is a feature request you can upvote, but I can't find the link at this moment...

The other options that users have requested (during the public beta at least) are static based on a set width that is a) full width of the frame or b) something less than the full frame.

The padding of the background is adjustable in the Essential Graphics Panel.

At the moment, it appears that you cannot import a plain text (no timecode) file. Yes, this feature is needed.

I would use something like SubtitleEdit, and let it add timecodes.
