Please add caption embedding for mpeg2 files!

Yes, this is a high priority need for video editing professionals.

MPEG2 captions!

All of the below and above. C'mon Adobe. Don't turn in to Final Cut Pro and stop listening to your customers. You know what the next step is.

Please add this capability to Premiere Pro. Frankly, it is both surprising and disappointing that in 2022 Adobe is not supporting accessibility standards for broadcast media with it's flagship software.

Have they fixed this function? or is there an alternative software to embed captions to mpeg2

My standard delivery for broadcast commercials is MPEG2. It's frustrating that I have to export MXF for captions. Most clients can't even preview that format so I have to also export a preview version and assure them that there will be captions on air.

YES!! How is this not just part of the ecosystem? Instead I need to resort to all sorts of hacks or just say... sorry, my software can't do that... 😞
a-dobe.

I'm surprised with the new(ish) speech-to-text feature introduced to Premiere Pro since this post two years ago, that this feature request isn't a higher priority and taken more seriously by the product team. The speech-to-text feature, which is an AWESOME addition, is essentially still UNUSABLE in the broadcasting world, because we don't have a way to deliver captions embedded in mpeg-2 files. Our TV station, as well as many stations, doesn't accept sidecar files.

I have clients who are sending media with closed captions made in ME and PPRo but I have to resize the media (we are a 720HD MXF and they are sending 1080HD MP4). The need to keep the embedded EIA/CEA-708 captions in the media is important. The fact that our workflow with customers is Adobe and we lose the CC is ridiculous. Please make this a priority.

Seconding. This is becoming completely necessary for broadcast requirements that do not accept sidecar caption loading, MXF, Quicktime, etc, for EIA/CEA-708 captions. Please add MPEG-2 as a format to accept embedded captioning, since ME and PPRo do everything else fine with an MPEG-2 program stream it seems. Currently, other services are needed to then inject embedded captions into MPEG-2 programming in order to meet with ingest compliance for captioning commercials, paid programing, and full length programming.
