can I export with 2 caption tracks visible?

working in Premiere 2022, I've got a sequence with 2 caption tracks.  One is for burned in subtitles, the other for captions.  Would make my life easier if I could just export with both tracks visible for client review... 

Doesn't seem possible, but figured I'd ask.

 

thanks as always

I said I want to make my life easier....  This seems like it's just gonna push me over the edge...  In this instance, since I'm talking about 5 short sections in a 90 minute documentary that have captions and subtitles, it's probably faster to continue what I'm doing, which is exporting the sections with subtitles, putting the exported clips on v2 and then turning off the subtitle track and turning on the caption track and exporting those sections again.    But thanks as always.

A workaround is to add the two subtitle streams in one timeline, Timeline A. Dupliacate Timeline A and name it Timeline B. Now you have two timelines. Open both timelines and make sure that Timeline A shows subtitle 1 and that Timeline B shows subtitle 2 and then mute the video and audio in Timeline B.

 

Open Timeline B in the Source panel and nest the video portion of it into Timeline A. Select Timeline B and go to the Effect Controls panel and adjust the Position so the both text streams is not covering each other.

 

I do this right now since i want the subtitles a tad lower than what´s possible today.

 

But yes, when you do re-edits it becomes cumbersome.

Just  FYI, similar to Averdahl's description, see this post that gives this nesting method for various purposes:

Yes, it does not make it easier than your workaround for your purpose.
