I have the most updated version of Premiere CC trying to make SUBTITLES. All your tutorials say "oh yeah, super easy and visual, you get to choose background, font, color etc!!!!!" nope. When it actually displays on my video...... it's in ugly caption form and none of the style or type options function. What's the deal?

You need to select Open Captions to be able to change font, color etc.

Make sure the video settings are the same as you sequence.

I am assuming you are making captions/subtitles, and not creating "titles" as subtitles.

There are several types of captions/subtitles.

Did you import a subtitles/captions file?

Whether you did or created a new captions stream, what kind of stream is it? Open or closed, etc.

The methods for changing font colors, etc, varies based on caption type.
