Exporting Closed Captions Only (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

This seems like an easy answer, but I can't seem to figure out how to ONLY export captions (without the video).

 

Is there a way to export ONLY closed captioning? It takes so long to make a video with the sidecar .scc.

Thanks guys,

These are good suggestions. It's close, but not perfect.

@Samedog, I have cuts in my captions, so I can't export my captions as one full asset.

@Jeff, thanks for this, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for, but reading the article helped me think outside the box.

Here's what I do now:

Instead of exporting a movie file and sidecar .scc file. I set the settings to export the audio only with the sidecar .scc. It still takes about a minute to export, but at least it won't take an hour to export (this is the time I get for exporting the video file with it)

Thanks all!

Highlight the caption in the Bin, then select File/Export/Captions.

In what form do you want the closed captions exported in? and for what purpose?

I'm just looking to attain a sidecar .scc file.

The purpose is for the line of work that I do. sometimes, I want to export a .scc file, but not the video. I'm sure an .scc file will take a second to export, but when you add the video, it takes like an hour.
