Export captions as .vtt (WebVTT) files

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.

I’ve been using SubEasy free subtitle formatting tools for conversions, including formats like SRT, VTT. https://www.subeasy.ai/convert-vtt-to-srt .

Has there been any follow up to this issue? My client's Wordpress video player only accepts .vtt files and my old work around using YouTube captioning is starting to get unreliable. Adobe Premiere Community, any suggestions for work arounds for generating .vtt caption files for your web videos?

Have you taken a look at SubTitle Edit. It is open source. It may work with your file format.

I discovered that in OneDrive, CoPilot will create a transcript and VTT file from a video which can be exported.

Time to wake up Adobe!

It is June 19th, 2024, and there is still no VTT support. What happened?

I don't actually need Premiere Pro, as the edit is finished. VTT captions were done externally for DCP and now a burn in mp4 copy is needed. Does anyone know of another NLE that could marry the two?

Try Subtitle Edit, it is free and open sourced program. Comes in very handy when captioning and working around Adobe slow response to our captioning needs.
