Captions disappearing Issue.

Question

Captions disappearing Issue.

Hi everybody. I have a strange bug while im editing the captions on my timeline. When i delete a caption then all the other captions are disappearing. Then i have to click on show captions button twice to make them appear again. Since i can not assign Show captions button to my keyboard its very annoying.

I have created my captions with simon says app. Is there anybody out there who can help me with this issue?

PS: Maybe apple can allow us to assign the button of show captions soon.

Thanks a lot.

Mac mini, macOS 12.6

The Show Captions should not be turned off, of course.

But at the very least, I can tell you that you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it. Apparently, you can't do it using the Commands feature of FCP, but you can using macOS shortcuts, like you can with any other menu in any application:

System Settings->Keyboard, click Keyboard Shortuts... then choose App Shortcuts and add your own shortcut.

When i delete one Caption then the Captions are still there, i can see then both on timeline and preferences box but on viewer they dont shown.

For make them visible again on viewer i have to press the button Show Caption twice in the view menu top right of the viewer.

And yes i did reset the preferences.

Thanks for helping.

Can you clarify what is happening?

I don't understand how captions are "disappearing"... you mean you delete one and the rest is deleted somehow? Or disappearing from where - the Timeline Index, maybe?

What and where is the "Show Captions" button?

A few screenshots may help us better understand.

In the meantime, did you try deleting preferences? If the application is not behaving correctly, it is usually one of the first things to try.

Thank you very much Luis. At least Keyboard shortcuts tip is helping me a lot for gaining time.

I believe there is a bug in somewhere but now i have not many time to take care of it. Next time.
