Hi all,
I'm new to Adobe Premiere so sorry if this problem is easy to fix. I'm trying to add subtitles to a clip. However I'm unable to click on the add captions button. I do see a lock with "caption file is in source preview mode and must be added to sequence to be editable". I've closed the source preview, however that doesn't fix the problem. Next to that I've tried to click on "Add Edit" under Sequence. No success. ".
Last thing I've tried is Add new caption track...
Here are some ss from my premiere (just to be clear, there's text behind the black square :)):

If your Source Monitor was in focus before you switched to the Text panel, you won't be able to add captions. To enable this option, select your Timeline panel first, then go back to the Text panel.
