Question

"I am using a Teletext Caption Track, but the 'Teletext Page Number' field is missing from both the Track Settings and the Metadata panel, preventing me from changing the ID from 801 to 888 for UK broadcast delivery."

Is there anyway to change the OP-47 subtitle track from Adobe Premiere’s default of 5-801 to the UK broadcast standard of 5-888? I think this would be a hugely useful function especially now that Channel 4 has made closed-captions compulsory on all new creative.

    ​@richie501,

    Sorry I didn’t respond sooner, but this is not in the scope of my expertise. These page codes are mind numbing. 
    What is the caption format type, export file format (e.g. mxf op1a), and caption export (embed I assume).

    I see very few choices in PR, and thought there used to be more.

    It sounds like the feature was more accessible in the 2023 version of Premiere; there used to be a metadata box where you could assign the Teletext Page (888) so it would be correctly picked up by the station's embedded caption system. However, now it seems Clearcast is charging £200 per ad to handle the embedding from a sidecar file. It’s frustrating because the software is technically capable of doing it, but the current UI makes it nearly impossible to set the correct broadcast IDs.
