Hi Simon,
Sorry – shame on me. My reply was misleading/misunderstood.
I know that the TKY-Subtitle-Effect always had been free. The “alternative” was meant for “in case Simon won’t update” or so.

While I always support Simon (the Master of Motion Universe) there might be free alternatives.
There is the meanwhile free DH_SubtitleX from Digital Heaven or my TextUp (TextUp 2019 Templates and Effects). For latter you should read about the “tricks” on how to change backgrounds globally here:view a usage guide here

I’ve noticed same behaviour. It’s not happening all the time. Havent’t found the reason why.
If you want to create custom overlays quickly, here a little free app of mine.

This looks more like a display problem.

Not completely true. Captions & subtitles could be the same in some cases.
Subtitles in most cases describe visual text for spoken words. Captions in common usage includes “audio description”.
As an example: With a documentary where 2 languages are spoken (English, Spanish) there would be Spanish subtitles for the English text in the Spanish version, English subtitle text for Spanish words.
The “audio description” version does contain both plus things like “door bell ringing”.Difference has to made between Closed Captions & Open Captions – as you said.
Latter are part of the visual content (burned into the video) the other (Closed Captions) are either embedded into the AV stream (CEA in Northern America & Mexico) or are side car files. The visibility can be turned on/off by the user. There may be multiple streams of them.
The appearance of Closed Captions is defined by the playback device and by default have little or no option to make changes.@ Scott
Since FCP 10.4.8 the “native caption” function can be used for both types.
While PPro allows to switch behaviour between CC & OC – so you have some visual style options for OC – FCP doesn’t. Doesn’t mean that PPro is better ?In both cases you can convert them to ‘Titles’ if you want to use full style Open Captions using 3rd party apps.

Eric,
If you use both PPro and FCPX you can use my premiereTitles for less pain 😉

You are probably doing something wrong.
A) Select all titles in the timeline

B) In the Title Browser select your Tap5a title and double-click

Select all titles you want to replace in your timeline.
In the Titles Browser go to the title you want to use and double click.BUT BE AWARE:
Not all settings are kept. All parameters will be the default ones from the new title.Spherico
