Unable to retain changes to SRT formatting in Caption tab
I recently ripped a bluray movie from my library, converted the sub file to SRT and imported the srt and the video into Premiere.
I set up my sequence and dragged the newly created caption file onto the timeline over the video. In the captions tab, I selected all lines of dialogue and applied the changes I wanted (in this case: color, font, size, background color). The changes went through fine.
The problem is, as soon as I click away from that sequence and then go back in, the changes are gone.
Just curious if anyone has a workaround for this issue.

I very much doubt there are ‘official’ specifications.
SRT is SubRip, the Rip sorta kinda gives it away, it started out as a hackers format.
Now, ‘some’ software will accept more metadata than other.
Metadata is inside the text in HTML style. It can set font, font style, font color, title position etc.
But I have no clue what Premiere will or will not honour.Next, do NOT talk about ‘captions’ when you mean ‘subtitles’. Those are two VERY different things.
To have full control, you could use my Subbits and render out to (editable) PNG files.
