It would be useful to be able to move the captions all the way to the bottom of the screen.

Moved also to Resolve. Problem solved

This request has been here so long, and Adobe proves again they just don't care about the needs of customers.  They have gone from a creative partner to being a marketing money generator and abandoned their initial calling.

@jonkristinsson,

 

I was shocked to see that since my post 1/25/23, there are only 12 more upvotes! I suspect that so many users want animation, this limited request to move captions to the bottom is no longer as high a priority.

This still hasn't been fixed. Remove the safeguard, 0 on the Y-axis should be the bottom of the screen.

Shifting captions to the bottom of the screen is a brilliant move for enhancing user experience, especially for those reliant on captions to grasp content. Placing captions at the screen's bottom prevents visual obstructions and distractions, ensuring a seamless viewing experience. This thoughtful adjustment not only prioritizes accessibility but also contributes significantly to inclusivity. Kudos for this user-friendly enhancement, which undoubtedly improves website usability for all. Well done

Please take the safeguard out. Just make it a checkbox or something simple. Done.

Professor Panda,

 

Thanks for emphasizing this important feature request.

 

Francis Crossman's comment in the UserVoice system was copied over, same as all the others. You can see that the date of all the comments here is the same - yesterday, when this particular UserVoice request was transferred.

 

As I said in my post here, things have changed - and improved - since this but this request remains an important one.

@Francis-Crossman17221443 - You said exactly the same thing in 2021. Verbatim. You solicited opinions on UserVoice, with pages of comments from people pleading for this fix. Is there any meaningful update on this now that we're in 2023? 

 

 

 

 

As an aside, I love Adobe Creative Cloud's ad campaign about providing tools to allow people to creating anything your imagination can dream up. Yet we still can't move captions on-screen where we want to in Premiere? Come on.

@Francis-Crossman17221443  – Users have been requesting this ability for a long time now, including on UserVoice where people have been pleading with you personally. Please let people move captions to any position on-screen as needed. There is no reason for Premiere to force its users to jump through these workarounds to do something they used to be able to do fairly simply. I love the new Graphics system overall, but this is a major achilles heel.
