Problem Exporting Captions. After export, subtitles are plain white and illegible.

I've run out of time, so posting this without completing my experiments. Let me know if you find any differences on what I am reporting!

The setting you are seeing is probably the default for the media player. When the srt (or whatever file format caption you are using) does not carry styling information, the player determines the appearance. In some cases, that is what you will see even if the srt carries formatting. You may get what you want by setting the player's defaults.

When you export the srt from PR, are you checking the box for "styling"? It will export font color, but NOT background.

PR is exporting 8 character Hex color. For example, in PR, if I open the color picker for caption text and check the "Only Web colors" box, the bottom right color for red (see the "# xxxx" box to the right) is #E00000. If I deselect that box, I may get something like #F7061B. But when PR exports the srt, it is adding 2 more characters and showing 8-digit hex - the last two being transparency. So, for example, #FF0000FF.

Using VLC player, I find that it will ignore non-Web colors with the added "FF." It will take 6-digit hex, even if non-web. And it will take 8-digit if web color only. 

As I said, I may be wrong!

I tried exporting stl. It did not carry the font info (VLC uses the default). It did carry position (VLC ignored).

srt export often does not carry formatting, even if checking the "styling" box. Try .vtt or similar export.

What specific dot version are you running?
