It should be a simple matter of allowing captions to be converted over to regular essential graphics media so that they can be manipulated as we see fit.

Please allow us to move the captions bellow the safe margin!

19 months after asking us "Would an option to defeat this restriction be useful or is it better to remove this safeguard all together", yet Adobe has not fixed this issue for its users. What's taking so long?

It's a total pain - I've got old videos that need revising but the subtitle is now too high - The WHOLE set of videos will now have to be recreated - What a stupid limitation causing a lot of problems.

This is critical, seeing that "safe margins" are becoming less relevant online, which is how most editors deliver video.

Y'all I love and appreciate your work. But it has been a year and a half, and this nanny setting is still inexplicably forced with no way to disable. Please, please bump this to a higher priority.

An option is fine, but a restriction makes Premiere's captioning nigh unworkable. I have to rely on third-party programs like Descript to generate my captions, because of this strange and antiquated restriction.

You don't restrict other elements the same way, so why this? If my clients don't like where I placed their captions, they won't blame Adobe. They'll blame me, their editor—same as they would if I placed footage out of frame, or made some other edit out of spec.

Please, please fix this.

Safe margins are a relic for many applications. PLEASE change this nanny setting!

please remove this safe margin no one likes it!

Is this fixed already? What a weird and random limitation....

Yes, please remove the restriction. I often have videos that are for web only so I'm not concerned about title-safe area and the captions are laying over some text on screen so I need to move them lower. This would also be a problem for anyone burning in captions over things like PowerPoint presentations, etc. that have text/ charts/etc. that shouldn't be obscured by captions.

Yes, remove restriction.

I don't recall if I commented before; I up-voted a long time ago. a) I'd be happy with an override option. b) Other workflows, including easy conversion of caption text to graphics text (and vice versa) would also help. I believe these are being worked on.

Note that the ACTUAL limitation here is only 5%, not 10%. This was a big improvement over the pre-2021 workflow which was 10% The caption bounding box can be moved down to 1026 out of 1080 pixels. And this does not limit descenders (which vary by font and size).

YES! Remove this restriction. In the days of YouTube, smartphones and millions of other ways to watch content on NON-overscan screens, forcing a safe margin on us is completely idiotic! Please make it an on/off setting in the Preferences window.

Ya this needs to be fixed. Let me put Captions where I want to.

The 10% restrictions for safe margins is not justifiable since tube monitors are gone IMHO. An option to defeat this restriction would be great.

The workaround to put the same timeline with everything invisible but the subtitle track into a timeline duplicate just to repostition the subs does not restrict me, but slows down my work.

We're currently working in a special super tall format for projection with a 1:3 aspect, and need to put captions along the top edge of the frame. The 10% margin makes this simple thing impossible. Please remove this unnecessary restriction.

Holy... why was this implemented??? You would think a company that is about creativity would allow people to be creative..... OMG

Yes please, remove this safeguard.

I don't understand the problem, you can put captions in Premiere where you want them

just remove this restriction please. People will learn to "safeguard" from mistakes, but there are reason we want to move captions anywhere we want.
