Premiere Pro Captions – Cannot lower them (even when title safe changes)!
I am using Captions in Premiere Pro 2019 to create subtitles for my film. I have been unsuccessful in trying to move my subtitles closer to the bottom of the frame. I have tried changing the overlay settings for Title Safe from 20% to 5% in the hopes that the Caption window would somehow read that and allow me some more room (did not work). No matter what I try the vertical position will read at 92.8 (which appears to be 20% of the screen) and not allow me to go below that although there is room available . Is there a fix for this? Am I missing something? I am aware that the the most recent version of PP has more parameters for subtitles but I don’t have the OS to upgrade. Many Thanks …

I’ve noticed this problem too, though the baseline limit for me is roughly 10% which is the old-fashioned action safe and puts descenders close to 7%. I’ve been living with this since I use PBS standards which changed years ago to 10 and 7, but I have had good reasons to set captions below this for some programs and can no longer use the caption tool for this. It also ruined some legacy captions.
I have not found a fix and I’m fully up-to-date. The control is there but the caption will not move lower.

I actually found the solution! You can lower them in the Effects Control Panel! Thank you for responding!
