What is the use of UserVoice and paid editing software when adobe people can't even fix this small issue? I am done using Premiere Pro.

My solution at the moment is: 1- Create a blank adjustment layer. 2- Select the captions and the layer and nest into a new sequence. Now you can position at your pleasure.

Let us position subtitles where we want or NEED! It's been years that we have to deal with nested sequences or move to davinci to have a proper subtitle editor. You made changes with the new version but ... why can't we move subtitles lower than what you decided?

Is removing Safe Margins still a possibility? It was first mentioned way back in April. We could really use this.

Please remove the safeguard. I have branding guidelines I have to follow that the current feature doesn't allow for.

Exactly Damien. Online video doesn't need safe margins. Why hamper us in this way? Even when editing for broadcast, you might want to exceed safe margins anyway. Seems crazy not to be allowed to.

Safe margins are not needed for most of video productions nowadays so it's a shame we still are stuck with limitations from the past...

I have no words for Adobe anymore... if you dont step up, we will all slowly transition to resolve. Any news Francis, the latest update has still not fixed this issue and its been 10 months. I've found a work around if anyone is looking for a solution, create your captions normally using the caption panel, after you've finished, duplicate the seq you just worked on and rename it captions. Delete everything except the captions on that seq. then right click in the project panel on the new seq and click 'new sequence from clip' then copy that clip to your original sequence, and your able to move it freely in the effect control panel.

Until this problem is fixed I have to use the previous version of Premiere Pro. I need the captions to go a tiny bit lower in screen to make room for other graphics like baselines etc.
