How Do I Burn Captions Into A Video? (Premiere Pro 14.9 and earlier)

[AlluringImminence]

I feel like the way I am doing this is wrong. I have an SRT file uploaded into my Premiere Pro project, I have it on the timeline, then when I render and ensure that the captions burned in option is checked I render in Media Encoder. Then when I check to see if the video has captions, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? See the screenshots below:

When I check the MP4 file that got rendered, I see no captions.

Are you wanting open or closed captioning?

Found the problem, it's a bug. You need to export in Premiere Pro, do not export in Media Encoder, then it works.

I really need to be able to use the Media Encoder - any ideas how to make open captions burn onto video exporting this way?
