Hide subtitle in premier pro

[Pierpaolo Ferlaino]

If you’re talking about burned in subtitles you can only blur, cover them with a black matte or something like that…

[Jon Doughtie]

Back in the ancient SD days, we would place a wipe on the footage that killed the first 25 lines or so, and record that to another source, then use the wiped footage in the production. This eliminated the lines with the closed caption encoding. I would think this would work for HD as well.

But that is if you are talking about closed captions. If you really are talking about subtitles, they are baked into the video, and you can only mask them or blur them.
