include sub title into a DCP wraptor

Report · Jun 21, 2025

Hello,

I want to render a movie with subtitle into DCP format using Media Encoder.
If I render in H264 format, I get the mp4 file with an .srt file, when I open the .mp4 file with VLC, I can include or not the subtitle, eveything works fine.

When I render in DCP format, I do not find the subtitle file into de folder.dcp wich contains only video and audio along with the various XML control files.

What am I wrong doing ?

Thanks, Frank.

Ading to previous messsage, when I render the DCP Wraptor, the .srt file is created outside of the folder.dcp.
This is not correct, the subtitle must be incorporated into the folder.dcp and formated using XML coding.

How to do that ?

Does Adobe Premiere/Medi Encoder kinow how to do it ?

This is not my area, and I do not know. I suspect you are running into a limitation of the dcp wraptor option in PR:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/exporting-a-wraptor-dcp-in-30fps/m-p/1407360...

The link @Warren Heaton points to is there, but something is broken in the quovis website.

I played with this a bit, and exported both srt and xml from subtitle and 608 format captions. Note that DCP is complicated, and there are multiple options for subtitles AND captions in DCP, including multiple language issues.

I pulled the PR assets into a creation using DCP-0-matic (open source), using the video and audio mxf's and the srt exported from PR. It creates a DCP with a folder with captions in the CPL file and an MXF with the name code that matches the captions.

In any event, I conclude that PR probably does not have what you need.

I can play the video/audio from the PR export, but the captions view shows empty, as expected.

Thanks Stan,

I had not seen before the the dcp wraptor option in Premiere for the QuVIS web site, but as you said it is broken.

I am going to report a bug in Premiere, and see what happen.

Thanks anyway,

Frank
