I'd like the option to export closed captions as .vtt files. Some of my clients only accept this format, and doing it manually or with different software is either very time consuming or costly.

Still no VTT support 2 years on from this question. Let the Ai slop take a back seat for a moment and work on things that we actually NEED please.

@motionben since users have been requesting WebVTT captions as an option since at least 2018 don't hold your breath about Adobe implementing it. Writing the code to do this wouldn't be that hard. As a software developer I'd love to fix this for Adobe but really they don't seem to care about it in the slightest.

Just had a national car retailer request VTT subtitles for a video being displayed across the USA in their dealerships. Time to boot up DaVinci Resolve so I can make things happen for my client. Let's hear it for yet another widely requested feature that goes undelivered! GREAT JOB!

Hi Adobe Premiere Team! We're waiting for an update so we can better serve our clients! Thanks!

No update for two years ? Please tell us at what stage the development process is.
For info, Blackmagic Davinci Resolve could do this very easely, so we start to think of migrating to this editing and finalizing solution.

@Francis-Crossman17221443 Well work harder then because it's been a year and we still can't export VTT straight out from premiere pro. Not to mention software is even more buggy.

If i am going to use Davince Resolve for VTT i may as well use it for editing and not bother with Premier

Oouch! A valid point, and yet Adobe with all its resources, and subscription money has yet to move on VTT.

This post was from January 2023, It is now Jauary 2025. So many updates yet still no VTT for trascription, even though it is used by Zoom, Youtube, and in my instance a stictly internal server to display videos. Due to confidentiality using a 3rd party converter is not an option. Is VTT ever going to happen with Premier

2 years does seem a bit of an oversight now. If it helps anyone, Davinci Resolve can now publish .VTT too, more info here: Create and Export SUBTITLES in DaVinci Resolve ~ 2022 Tutorial - YouTube
