I'm really having trouble adding captions to my video which has not happened before. I'm following videos, reading forums but my particular problem is not being addressed. Even though I am adding captions in the way that has been instructed these captions are not appearing on my video. I did get them to appear once but they appeared up the top of the screen rather than down the bottom. Am hoping someone has some knowledge about why this is happening and advice on how to fix it. Many thanks in advance.

You will likely run into this again, so I'll add a couple comments.

14.0.x appears to have an issue that was not present in 2019.1.5. I first noticed this in 14.0.3, and confirmed it again in 14.0.4. When I create a new Open Caption stream, there is no selection in the caption 9 position grid box. (In 2019, the default for me is bottom center, and that box is selected.) When I then create a second caption, it appears upper left, and again with no grid box selected. If I select bottom middle in the grid box, the caption moves correctly, and further added captions have the grid box checked and are located bottom middle.

Note that you can move all captions in your stream in one go: inthe Caption Panel, shift click to select all captions, then click bottom middle (or whatever position you want) in the grid box.
