I am new to Adobe Premiere Pro. I have edited a video with audio and open captions and I would like to export the outcome to mp4, with all open captions in one .SRT file. But when I go to File > Export > Media, i don't have the option to export the video to mp4; and the 'Captions' tab in the Export Settings dialog box does not offer the option to export to SRT. The output is always .3gp. What's up???

Thank you.

Hi martineg48170794,

Create a closed caption, if you want to export a sidecar (.srt).

First you have to create Captions, you can't export .srt with text that was made with the Text Tool o Tittle window.

Follow this steps to create Captions and then export .srt:

* Create a Captions... in the New Item button. Follow the steps like the captures.

* Captions is created in the Project panel, doble clic in it and configure your text and put the In and Out timecode. After this you can add more lines of text with "+" button in the botton of the Caption panel.

Drag the Captions at the timeline.

Go to the Settings button at the Program view and select Settings...

Again, Go to the Settings button at the Program view and select Enable. With this the Captions will appear in the Program View

Your workflow it will looks like this

And when you export you'll have the option Subtitles active to export .srt file

And that's it. I hope I have been helpful.

Byron.

Thanks a lot for the detailed steps but my question now is rather: can you have 'nicer' formatting of closed captions than those ugly big white fonts with no background? Thanks again.
