Subtitle issues - Not exported yet - how will it come out?

[DJWN]

Hello everyone,

I don't get why Adobe put them all on different lines. So I only see them if I activate the 'eye'. 
I'm a bit worried not all of them are going to come up on the screen, if I export? That is my main question.

First, you can always test a short segment of a sequence, by setting an in/out point, and exporting. Then you know. 

Second, that 'eye' turns on the track. If on, it's 'visible', and will be in the export. If off, not.

Thank you. I will try this.

When i have done testings the only subtitles that exports are the ones on a track with the eye enabled. So in the screen dump you posted here only C3 will be exported. You can manually move all text from C2 down to C1, from C3 down to C1, C4 down to C1 and enable that track to export all subtitles in one go.

I'm a bit worried not all of them are going to come up on the screen, if I export? That is my main question.

Thank for this reply. I will test it out.

It didn't export 😞 even with everything on the same line.

Did you enable Captions for export? Captions are disabled by default, so checking that setting is critical for them to export.

• What version of Premiere Pro do you use?
• How do you export, from Premiere Pro or via Media Encoder?

I noticed that some of the of you captions are bright orange while some of the are dark orange. I cannot reproduce that in Premiere Pro 25.0.

I've just checked. I've got version 23.6.0. I'm wondering if that is the issue. I did enable captions for export and to burn into the video but they still wasn't coming up everywhere only the highlighted parts on the video from the photo I posted. 
I export from Premiere Pro.

The whole subtitles/caption workflow went through a major upgrade in the 24.x series.

We are now in the era of the 25.x series, of course. I'm wondering why you stay with 23? So many things, including text/captions and color management are so massively updated.

[DJWN]

There is no reason. I hadn't used it for a while and didn't realise there was an update. If i update, will it mess up my project? Can I update?

[R Neil Haugen]

Duplicate the project. Install 25.x without removing 24.x.

On launching 25.x, hold down shift, select the option to dump all cache files.

Now select the project dupe and either open it or import it. Test it out.

You still have 24.x loaded, with projects that work in it, if there is a problem.

I got carried away and just installed. It seems like my projects are okay but I did find I had to fix the subtitles on one.

Do the subtitles export now?
