As this was nearly two years ago, I honestly don't remember what my problem was, but to all of you who answered, I think I wanted to be able to turn off/on the subtitles afterwards in e.g. VLC or another media player. The problem was that Premiere exported separate files, and that could confuse the receiver of my video (who knows fairly little about computers).

If i'm correct, the question is "Can we burn captions into the video as you would a Title?" so not embedding.

Staffmembers, could you please awnser with a yes or no and if not, is this something that could be available in the future?

Or maybe there's a way to turn captions into titles?

Thanks and regards

Handling burned-in captions

Premiere Pro lets you burn in permanent captions into your video. Burned-in captions are always visible regardless of whether closed captioning is enabled on your television or streaming device or not.

Premiere Pro supports burning in both closed captions and open captions while exporting your video.

When you import SRT files and XML files that  have open caption data in them, Premiere Pro automatically converts these files to CEA-708 CC1 closed caption files. You can then edit these files and burn in the captions as subtitles while exporting using Premiere Pro or Adobe Media Encoder.

In the Export Settings dialog, select the Export Formatas Burn Captions Into Video.

Note:

You cannot edit captions that are burned into the video.

HI Exsulator,

You can export the file in Quicktime format from premiere pro CC.

It would embedd the captions with the video and you will have a single output file.

Thanks
