"Yeah no... You're doing it wrong peasants. We, at Adobe, believe we do it right and any other way of doing it is wrong. That will be 80$ per month please."

There are many ways to avoid the so-called "accidents", but out of sight out of mind method is definitely not the way forward. Please, Adobe, do not stifle the creative work of your users with your one-sided perception of how captions should be implemented.

..and I note, as I did a few weeks ago, that another apparently major revision of Premiere has appeared, still with no hint of anyone at Adobe addressing this issue.

Do you ever need to burn in both at the same time or is it just a matter of being able to see both to aid in translation and alignment?

I do educational work where I need 3 lines of captions, one in English, one in Chinese, and one in Romanization.

The nesting workaround also doesn't work for me, so I'm super bummed about this. I'm just surprised that it was disabled completely and not done in a way where you can toggle....

I need multiple caption tracks because the framing is different in specific situations and it would take me ages to do them manualy. So if I could add a caption style to each track and position my subtitles accordingly it would save me tons of work.

Sometimes it is necessary to burn in multiple caption tracks in various languages or if there are different styles within one track. thank you for improving this functionality!

Being able to show multiple captions can be a great help or may be even necessary for some editors. Just give a warning before playout, that there are multiple captions enabled. Just like with offline media.
Don't remove options! Don't build limitations that can't be toggled on or off!

Multiple caption tracks would be great!

if this was a previous feature i really wish it comes back, multiple visible captions in different languages burned in the video are extremely useful and expand the reach of content across the world. please make this a priority

We need multiple Caption tracks visible! It is common in my world!

This is fxxking stupid and still not fixed in the latest version!
"it's as designed", how arrogant is that!! are you american that only speaks one language hmm? that's probably you don't listen to all your users! frustrating! "needs more info" really?? apparently you guys just don't give a **** to us.

GIVE OUR MULTIPLE SUBTITLE TRACKS VISIBILITY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

GIVE OUR MULTIPLE TRACKS VISIBILITY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also noted the new updated Premiere (which, in fact, arrived on my system a couple of nights ago when I was in the midst of working on a Premiere project--during the update there was some paralyzed functionality having to do with exporting to Media Encoder, so as a result I had to scuttle the job and restart after the update). I hoped that our issues with multiple caption tracks would have been addressed, but Chris Long is right: they were not. Selecting one caption track for display continues to disable all others.

Even if Adobe plans to continue to develop tools for single caption tracks and expanded capacity (including voice recognition "enhancements" which in my opinion will help almost only the monoglot English caption-editors out there), it is unclear to me why the code that produces, formats, and allows burning single caption tracks cannot fairly easily be recycled recursively to allow multiple caption tracks, with all the sorts of uses that have repeatedly been mentioned on this thread. This should be a relatively simple programming task, with the existing interface, just allowing what Premiere now does NOT allow, namely selecting multiple caption tracks for coding in the same project.

Some response from Adobe would be appreciated.

So I see that Premiere has been upadated to v15.4. Any news as whether this is sorted in it? The new features list suggests some developments in the captions area, but nothing explicit about this problem.

is ANYONE from Adobe listening??? Is there no information available??

So many people are waiting on this fix Adobe!
Please talk to your users before removing functionality like this.

Color coding various speakers would be great! Something like Matthew Ross mentioned below would be a great way to do things as well.

Still waiting for this to be fixed

I'm so frustating with this limitation, for now, the solution is i have created another sequence for second subtitle. :(

I am producing an ongoing installation which is updated with new content constantly - I needs to have captions in multiple places, its projected in a 10 meter room and we need to display captions on two walls, which was fine until the recent caption tool update, so I would like to have the ability to see two streams or more. Or is there a work around.

Would be really useful if we can get an update on this Francis or anyone at Adobe, have a multitude of projects on the go where this captions workflow could be used if there is an update.

Either having the ability to convert the Captions track to a video layer, or to convert to xml like these guys do - https://www.subtitletools.net/subtitle2xml would eliminate many of the problems we are facing.

Also means you don't actually have to add in any new features to the original captions - just means we can position and alter text and how many speakers we can view on screen at any given time.

These limitations of broadcast spec really hinders editors who are trying to use them for 1x1 and 9x16 versioning, and by the sounds of all the comments - in many other ways too.

I think I speak on behalf of everyone by pleading that you add this functionality into a new update.

Many thanks,

Matty
