Update to Premiere to 15.0 or later. Captioning lets you create separate tracks that lets you edit and treat captions like video clips.
Why use captions? One reason is for accessibility. In YouTube or Vimeo you can also use on board closed captioning, but creating transcripts (and editing them) in Premiere will allow you to export a text transcript and upload the edited transcript to use in another application. For social media you always want to burn captions in. Research shows that 80% of social content is viewed with sound off.
