captions in premier

Question

I’m trying to export a vid in Premier with on/off subtitles.

I can burn the captions directly onto the video and can export with a sidecar file, but I can’t work out how to export the video so they can be turned on/off in viewers such as QuickTime.

The only options in the export/captions dropdown are Burn Captions into Video or Create Sidecar file.

Hi ​@mikeb123XXX:A couple factors affect being able to embed captions into an exported movie: There’s the caption track type and the export format.For embedded captions, I use CEA-608 as the caption track and QuickTime as the file format. This works because QuickTime supportsembedded 608 captions. If I were to switch to H264, it would not work because MP4 does not support embedded captions.Pictured: Export settings with the format set to QuickTime and “Embed in Output File” enabled for Captions.
