## Fixes

### Captions

#### Caption selection works while styles load

Captions remain selectable and their position controls stay usable while preset and font data finish loading.

#### Caption presets keep their intended anchor

Applying or editing a preset no longer shifts captions because of stale source, size, or position data.

### Timeline

#### Split clips that contain transitions

A valid split no longer fails because a transition attached to the clip is checked against the pre-split item.
