Export video with Youtube 1080p Full HD burns in captions despite it being set to None.

Report · Jun 27, 2023

Issue - When using the export preset (may be true for others, I haven't tested) 'Youtube 1080p Full HD' on a watched folder, the captions are burned in.

Adobe Media Encoder version number 23.5 (Build 51)

Operating system: Mac OS 11.7.4

Steps to reproduce - Create a watch folder with the above preset. Drop a premier file in with a sequence that has a closed caption file as one of the tracks.

Expected result - No closed captions

Actual result - the exported file has closed captions burned in

To get around this I have to change the preset to change closed captions to 'Create Sidecar File' and then just delete the files afterwards.

Hello DanielABC,

normally you should be able to turn captions 'off' in the preset and no captions should be visible. There might be one case where the project has set some special visiblity for captions, it will be rendered as is it visible in PremierePro. Please can you attach a project with the universal count leader and the caption track you describe together with the used preset, so we can validate the issue with your data. Another question is: Is it watch folder specific or will it happen with the a 'normal' drop to the queue too?
Thanks in advance.
