Premiere Pro 2020 Closed Captioning -- HELP!

[Briar Patch Media LLC]

Hello ---

Forgive the question -- I have check the forums and whatever help there was didn't work,

I need to make a series of videos w/ either 608 or 708 Closed Captioning.  When I made captions, I would make new captions, then sidecar to SRT file.

This time, I made new captions (1st try was 608 / 2nd try was 708), I saw the captions in the Program monitor w/ no issues.  When I render to either QT or OP1a, I would select "EMBED IN OUTPUT FILE".  Then I would check in VLC and NO CC.

Am I missing a step?  Should I be using a different viewer?  "Burn Captions Into Video" works OK --- Cannot do that w/ these videos.

Thank you!

What is your actual delivery requirement? Some users say embed plays back in VLC, but i have not succeeded.

You can test by reimporting to PR with "import caption" on.

Hey Stan ---

Checking w/ company now, who will playout all the files in a "virtual convention".  I exported the files and had Premiere re-import it back into the project.  I was able to see the final video piece in V1 and the captioning in V2.

If VLC does not work for playing out closed captioning, what would you recommend?

You can use VLC with srt sidecar; turn on or off.
