Export captions as .vtt (WebVTT) files

Working hard or hardly working? Soon, it's going to be 3 YEARS since this thread was opened, and one year from my initial reply to you. Keep pushing Ai slop. I already switched to davinci resolve for my personal freelance projects and if asked, baring in mind all the cost-cotting everywhere these days, I will pitch it at work also. 

Because I work for a government agency and cannot use tools or sites that haven't been approved for use, especially for sensitive infomation that I make resources regarding. Adobe, with the thousands of accounts the different governments around the world are paying for should be able to meet the basic needs of accessibility in 2025. I have Davinci Resolve at home whos automated captions is significantly more accurate and exports to vtt. How has Adobe Premier not reached parity?

Again, I would recommend checking out (https://editingtools.io/subtitles/). As far as I am aware, this does not use AI to convert. It simply is a system that is programmed to one-to-one convert the VTT to SRT or whatever format you may need, and in the process, even do some time adjustments if you'd like.

FYI, my current process is export from Adobe, open in note pad, copy paste in copilot and ask to convert to vtt while also fixing any issues like correct regional english, and then paste back into notepad save as, the file 'save as type - all files' add a .vtt to file name. 

In the mean time, why not use an online converter… since Ai will likely bodge some things on the way. This is a job for a tool that is purpose built and makes a 1 to 1 copy.

I found this real quick, maybe it's helpful (not affiliated): https://editingtools.io/subtitles/

SubTitle Edit appears to be Windows-Only. I'm on a Mac as are many other Premiere editors.  I've been using DaVinci Resolve for caption conversion from .srt to .vtt, but it would save a few steps to just have a .vtt export option directly in Premiere...and I can't imagine it being that challenging to code. I think most users wouldn't need the extras that programs that create .vtt sometimes adds (<b>, </b>, etc) just a straight convert that adds WEBVTT to the top and changes the commas to periods in the timecodes. But what do I know, I'm just a simple country video editor who's about to be replaced by AI.

Hi everybody still wayting for adobe to provide a solution.
Since there seems to be no effort to support vtt export,
I created a solution via python script.
If anybody is intereseted in this, i would share this script as "name your own price".

Note:
You need to have phython installed, to run this script.
Use:
After Exporting subtitles from premiere as srt sidecar file.
Run the script. 
It will ask you to choose a file,

then creates a web vtt file from it, storing it at the same location next to the srt file.

Any new status on this? It's really a widely used format and needed in Premiere Pro. 

아니, vtt가 아직도 업데이트가 안 될 거면 왜 희망고문하는 거죠?
