Exporting and MXF with Embed Closed captions not working

Hello, Looking for some help on a Project I am doing. 

I am taking a Video that is full edited and adding Closed captions that were done by a third party. Video is on V1 and Closed Captions on the CC Channel. 

 

I go to Export- Format is MXF OP1a and Codec is XDCAMHD NTSC 720p

Once exported I check it in VLC and i dont see captions. I also bring it back into Premiere and Dont see captions. 

I did a test with a prores export and added the Embeded captions and it worked no problem.... I could not see the captions I added in Premiere but i could see them in Quicktime. 

what am I doing wrong with the MXF File. 

Thanks in advance.

I cant play this MXF file in quick time.... I did a seperate test export as a prores just to see if i could see them on anything at all. I took that ProRes clip into quick time it works. 

The MXF file is what i need to work for boardcast. All of the ways I ahve shown you to try to check if it has the captions- have not worked. I have on it 708 format. 


Stan Got it to work! A few things... the captions must be a 608-1 format to export out as a MXF. 

 

Also you having me turn on the "include captions on import" worked... but I had to restart PR for it to kick in. Once I did that I was able to check my clips and they worked. 

THanks for the help,

Shawn

This issue is now popping up for me with Premiere - captions do not export / embed in MXF OP1a. I've read this thread and none of the solutions presented work for the issue to date. Will continue to work on it.

    @bstevens0000,

     

    What version of PR? Trying to embed 608 or 708 or both? I have not tested for a while. Just updated to 24.6.0.

    Both - thanks for the note back. So, I wrestled with this for hours yesterday - and it seems almost completely random. I did a batch of episodes for broadcast that came out fine - then another batch that didn't have the captions (but should have) - I got the full season completed now - but it was trial and error without any export setting changes - very bizarre. Finished eventually using 708. This was fine last year when I did the previous season of the same show.

    Others say you can do it, but I have never been able to see embedded captions in VLC. Test by importing back to PR. And by looking at the file with Mediainfo or similar.

    I am adding the captions in PR and then trying to check them in VLC. I cant see them. Because I cant see them there I have tried to bring that same clip back into PR to see if i can see them and I still can not. 

     

    Not sure what i am doing wrong.
