Question

Export frame with subtitles included

  • February 6, 2026

I use the Export Frame feature to create a thumbnail for my video. In previous versions, exporting a frame included the subtitle which I use to create a large countdown timer effect. When I try Export Frame now, the subtitle is not showing. Has anyone run into this and found a way to include subtitles in the export frame?

 

Previous:

 

Now:


As a workaround, I can of course create a text graphic and recreate the timer placement, but it’s more tedious than the previous capability of just exporting a frame. Just wondering if I missed a setting somewhere.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    In case anyone runs into this, the fastest way I found to include the subtitle in my exported frame is to convert the subtitle to a text graphic.

    • select subtitle in sequence, go to Graphics and Titles > Upgrade Caption to Graphic

    This won’t be good if you anticipate wanting to change the styling of your subtitles later. But it works for me since this is my last step in my workflow.

      ​@gabrielle_3434,

      I’d make this a feature request or bug, but don’t worry about it because I don’t think posts can be moved by moderators yet.

      It was posted as a bug around Nov 30, 2025, so has not been ported to the new forum yet. I will eventually get ported, but I’ll repeat what I can. I did not copy the bug report itself. The screenname for the author is not popping up now as an @ flag, but I left it in the pasted text.

      I responded as follows:

      @DhyMik,
      Thanks for testing in 25.5 so I don't have to think about it!

      Upvoted. It worked as you describe in 24.6.5 and does not work in 25.6.2 and Beta 26.0.0.39. I'm Win 11 25H2. [Note 2/6/26: I just tested, and captions do not appear in export frame on the new release 26.0.0 nor Beta 26.1.1.32.]

      I prefer the previous method. You control the caption output by simply toggling the caption track.

      The workaround here is to select the one caption and Upgrade caption to graphic. If you are not importing to the project, you can just undo that. If you import the still to the project, copy the caption, upgrade it, then paste it back to the captions. But if the playhead is not at the beginning of the caption when you export frame, you must adjust it so it is back at the beginning before you paste.

      Once ported, the url for my response was:
