Toggle Embedded Subtitles On Video

[Ahmet26047475ozev]

I imported an mp4 to my project that has subtitles embedded in the file. There are times in my project where I want to show footage from the mp4 with it's subtitles showing onscreen. But I can't find the option to do it. Can premiere do this? If not, does anyone know of a plugin that does this?

You will have to extract te subtitle from the MP4 first using VLC  or using another famous platforum called subtitlevideo. 

You need an SRT file seprate of the subtitle and reimport into premiere, from my knowledge Premeire doesnt support embeded subtitle for MP4 format yet only the following formats: MOV, DNxHD MXF Op1a, MXF Op1a

Thanks. Hopefully Adobe adds toggling captions like that as a feature one day so we don't have to hop into hoops.
