Closed Captions being cut off in Premier Pro

[sparks1524]

Howdy!

First off, I *do not* need nor want subtitles.  I *need* closed captions.  Premier Pro is truncating my closed captions, meaning that, once I upload to YouTube, I have to go *BACK* in and fix it--bascially doing double the work.

How can I fix this or work around it?  Again, I *do not* need or want subtitles; I *need* closed captions.  I *need* my audience to have the option of turning on or off the captions at will.  Subtitles are on the screen 100% of the time, and this disrupts data I put on screen.

The CA-708 gives me 42 characters per line, but only two lines, meaning *normal* diaglogue is cut off.

Firstly, are you 100% sure you need CA-708 closed captions? Youtube supports other formats. such as SRT which I don't believe have length restrictions.

Otherwise, you're only option is to cram the text in and cut to the next caption again and again whilst the person is speaking.

The issue is in Premier. I'm given the CA-608 anc CA-708 options for closed
captions. I export those in SRT form--that's how YouTube uploads. SRT is
a file format, not a caption format.

I can use subtitles and export them as an SRT...but that means they show up
ALL the time and can't be turned off.
