@jasdeep_2260,

 

Your Text panel should never be that empty. There are 3 tabs (Transcript, Captions, Graphics). It either loaded incorrectly or has crashed. 

 

Restarting PR, or even closing and reopening your project may get it working again. And resetting your workspace and resetting preferences may help.

 

I recommend resetting the workspace first, because it has very little downside. Also, resetting preferences does not reset the Workspace, and Workspace settings may be importing Workspaces from the project. If you reset preferences without being prepared, you can lose customization. See this page to avoid those problems:

If that doesn't get it sorted, post back.

 

Stan
