The Captions list shows you every caption or subtitle on a

Adding Subtitles and Captions Manually
Other times, you may need to create subtitles on your own. Before doing so, you’ll need to add
one or more subtitle tracks. Once those tracks are created, you can add subtitle generators to
them in a variety of ways. You can add as many subtitle tracks as you need, one for each
language you require.
To add new subtitle tracks:
Right-click in any track header of the currently open timeline, and choose Add Subtitle
Track. An empty subtitle track will appear at the top of the Timeline, named “Subtitle 1,”
and if Subtitle Tracks were hidden, they’re now shown. Once you’ve added a new
subtitle track, you can rename it to identify what language and country that track
corresponds to. Please note that subtitle track names are used when exporting or
encoding subtitles, so please make sure your tracks are named appropriately prior to
export/delivery.
You can show and hide subtitle tracks in case you need to free up room in the Timeline for
working on other tracks. Subtitles on the currently selected subtitle track continue to be visible,
however, regardless of whether or not the subtitle tracks are shown.
