export closed captions/subtitles
SO I did subtitles in Adobe Premiere. I’ve told Premiere to show those subtitles to me inside Premiere and what I see is exactly what I want to export. Now in my export settings I export as Quick Time and I tell Premiere to embed the captions inside the video file- I thought that way the captions would be visible and on top of my video like a water mark or something but I see nothing (I suppose they are embedded as a subtitle file and people can select the subtitles under the quick time or VLC subtitle options or something. This is NOT what I want). So how do I create visible subtitles inside Adobe Premiere?

I am not sure if I was clear enough but I want hardcoded subtitles already visible on my video material. I have found this video https://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-adobe-media-encoder-cc/export-closed-captions-from-premiere-pro-to-adobe-media-encoder/ and this is exactly what I was expecting. The guy only gets subtitles if he enables those inside Quick Time Player. Completely useless since I want my subtitles to be shown on broadcast.

Hi Michael,
I believe you are confusing the difference between subtitles and captions. You cannot create subtitles from captions or vice versa. To make subtitles, you have to create them with the Titler. This can be tedious, so you can use plug-ins (https://www.eztitles.com/index.php?page=premiere_plugin or https://www.sugarfx.tv/info/subtitles_SUGARfx.html) or even inDesign (https://vimeo.com/80445034).Thanks,

[Michael Paul] ” I want my subtitles to be shown on broadcast.”
I would wager that whatever channel is broadcasting wants the subs as a separate file so they can put it into their broadcast system. I’ve never had a channel that would pass burned in subs.

Well the question is why can’t PP not hardcode the captions. The thing can be rendered in the preview window so why not giving the option to actually burn it (AND provide a separate caption file )?????
Using In-Design, separate plugins…no thanks, that is just cumbersome. There ARE standards for subtitles files ( STL, SRT, ASS ), so why making it difficult ? Why not using the existing technology and extend Premiere Pro to make it a proper one-stop-shop. Its absolutely beyond me, subtitles will be more and more important in the future, while our videos are growing more and more internationally.
The Title function is good, but old school and very very limited for complex subtitle projects as we all know. We want to work modular with other team members, some sitting on the other side of the world, sometimes working in areas where internet is not fast. So give me a simple, standardized file format that can be read by a broad selection of applications and which I can use for a lot of similar functionalities.
That in 2014 this still needs to be a feature request is a little bit disappointing to be honest.
