Subtitle track issue, subtitle error

As far as I know, only one subtitle track can be used in the Premier Pro. So I was working on putting subtitles on the C1 track and moving subtitles that I wanted to hide on the C2 track, but the subtitles that I moved to the C2 track have not disappeared. Only copied subtitles are disabled normally. (See video)

Please understand my poor English.

    @지영5DF7,

     

    Wow. I would call that a bug. As you describe, if you create a second track, and drag a caption segment to the new track, PR thinks it is still in the original track. Toggling visibility of the old or the new tracks on an doff, switching to a different sequence and back, and even deleting the original track does nothing. The "old" segment in the new track shows as on, only if the original track is on.

     

    In the meantime, there are 3 workarounds I can see:

    1 Copy the caption to the new track (as you say). Then delete the "old" segment in the original track.

    2 Cut the caption you want to move, and paste it into the new track. If you are using the PR default keyboard shortcuts, you have to adapt the shortcuts. In the Timeline panel, Ctrl+V now pastes to the same track. You can delete that assignment and use the application wide Ctrl+v (that pastes to the target track), or use Edit -> Paste.

    3 If you have all your captions before you start domaking your changes, just copy all of them to the new track, and then just delete the ones you don't want from your original track. You can easily see which ones are "inactive."

     

    @Alexander_DVA @Kerstin Ebert Is this a bug?

      Just to double check, you are copying a caption segment to a second caption track that is toggled off and inactive so the captions on the second track should not be shown in the Text panel or the Program monitor, correct?

      What's possible is that a caption segment on the second, inactive caption track is still selected so it will be shown in the Text panel (in this case, active selection wins over inactive track).

      @Kerstin Ebert,

       

      Thanks for looking at this.

       

      Interesting: the behavior/appearance in the Text/Captions panel is correct based on selection.

       

      But the Timeline/bright appearance and text on the Program Monitor are not.

       

      Create captions, add an empty track (which by default is active), then click to toggle the original back on. Now drag a segment from the original track to the new track. It stays "lit up" as if it is active, and yes, it is selected. (And correctly, it shows all alone in the Text panel/Captions tab.) But its track is off and it shows in the Program monitor.
