CEA-608 caption tracks

[mBarb]

Has anyone encountered a bug where, when using a video file that has captions recorded under the CEA-608 caption track, the captions show on the timeline but when i try to export a new video, the captions do not follow. I have a preset video output which includes embeded captions, but the option is not clickable. In fact, it does not even give me an option to include captions. If i transcribe the video and create new captions it works fine. Any thoughts?

is this a premiere pro question?

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Hi @mBarb,

Welcome to the Adobe Premiere Pro forum. Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are having trouble exporting a clip containing embedded closed captions. What format are you using to export? @Stan Jones, do you have any advice?

Thanks,
Kevin

In fact just the oposite. I can export with out a problem (if i generate captions in premiere). Its when importing a video that has captioning already embeded, those captions do not come through. I have used the same video recorder for 2 years and this is the first time ive experienced this.

@mBarb,

Edit -> Preferences -> Media - be sure that "Include captions on import" is checked.

If the embedded captions are imported with the file, you should see the caption track if you add it to a sequence.

If you open the file in the Source Monitor, click the wrench icon, and hover over "View Caption Stream." It should show you any caption streams and an Enable toggle. I was testing a single 708 stream in mxf file, so cannot be sure that it allows you to pick which stream to show. But surely it allows that.

I was testing in PR 25.0.0.

Let us know if that helps - or not!
