Please add caption embedding for mpeg2 files!

Thank you, Nate! This will make many broadcasters very happy. We appreciate you noticing this and working to make this request possible. Looking forward to future releases.

Thanks!

Hello, I have added this format to the back log of requested formats. To clarify this is line 21 VANC encoding and not 'embedding'. Embedding is done at the video wrapper level. The options for embedded captions are:

AS-10
AS-11
DNxHR/DNxHD
JPEG2000 MXF OP1a
MXF OP1a
QuickTime (608 Only)

Thanks for the feedback.

Ditto to the time saving benefit this would bring to everyone who produces content for distribution via TV stations.

AGREED

Exactly! Most stations don't want to accept a sidecar file an be responsible to embed the captions themselves and I don't blame them. To top it off, several of the stations I deliver to ask for H.264 .mov files and Adobe has discontinued support for that forcing me to stay with older versions. The other option is an .mxf file which is much larger and creates another time challenge for me. It's frustrating and I wish Adobe would address it.

Hi, I have been in the CC services bureau business for many years and have met Adobe at many tradeshows asking for this feature. Technically i can be done, it must be a copyright issue and adobe would have to pay to use this format. Adobe keeps saying "side car", I've never had a TV station ask for a side car.

This is an Americans with Disabilities requirement that the FCC is regulating. It’s important to Adobe’s end user to have those requirements provided to the Broadcast Networks. If it works with .mov and with .mxf it certainly should work with the standard .mpeg2 (707/608) requirements.

I agree that it is a pain to get the captions encoded into MPEG2. We've been taking the exported video from Premiere and importing into MacCaption (Telestream). The bad thing about that is we have to export the video again out of MacCaption as an MPEG2. The "Embed into Output File" is already available for QuickTime. So it would save people so much time if Premiere Pro had this same feature for embedding captions into MPEG2 files.
