Premiere Pro 2020 reverses Hebrew text when I use title templates

[elena_i]

Hi, I changed my preferences (Graphics: South Asian and Middle Eastern + Default Paragraph Direction: Right to Left) and when I use the 'Bold Web Caption' template for subtitles it reverses the text (instead of 'hello' I get 'olleh').

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I use IBM Plex Sans Hebrew font and all my preferences seem fine yet it keeps happening even after I close and reopen the program.

I have the same issue. Were you able to find a solution?

Hi A,

Sorry, were you speaking about the new captions? One of our engineers said the following:

Do you have South Asian and Middle Eastern set in your Caption Track Settings? Right-click on the Caption track header, choose Track Settings... and then under Styling Options > Text Engine, click button for South Asian and Middle Eastern. Then click Ok button.

See if that will work for you.

Thanks,
Kevin

I have the same issue, How can I get into the  Caption Track Settings? Can you send a screenshot please?

Here you go. Right click on the Caption Track you want to set. Pick Track Settings.

 

Then set it to South Aisan and Middle Eastern.

Still doesn't work for me. Very weird. Tried several times changing the settings as instructed and saving and exiting the software. Re-openning it but nothing changes. I can type in arabic but when my .srt file in arabic is imported and dragged to the timeline I still have the ************** instead of my arabic text. 

I'm using the latest version of PR. 

Anyone found a loopol ?
