Exporting, Burning, or Embedding Subtitles During Delivery

‌Exporting, Burning, or Embedding Subtitles During Delivery‌

When you’ve set up one or more subtitle tracks in a program, the Deliver page exposes a group of Subtitle Settings at the bottom of the Video panel of the Render Settings that control if and how subtitles or closed captions are output along with that timeline.

Available options for exporting subtitles can be found at the bottom of the Video panel of the Render Settings

This panel has the following controls:

— Export Subtitle checkbox: Lets you enable or disable subtitle/closed caption output.

— Format pop-up: Provides four options for outputting subtitles/closed captions.

— As a separate file: Outputs each subtitle track you select as a separate file using the format specified by the Export As pop-up. A set of checkboxes lets you choose which subtitle tracks you want to output.

— Burn into video: Renders all video with the currently selected subtitle track burned into the video.

— As embedded captions: Outputs the currently selected subtitle track as an embedded metadata layer within supported media formats. There is currently support for CEA-608 closed captions within MXF OP1A and QuickTime files. You can choose the subtitle format from the Codec pop-up that appears.

— Export As: (only available when Format is set to “As a separate file”) Lets you choose the subtitle/ closed captioning format to output to. Options include IMSC1, DFXP, SRT, and WebVTT.

— Include the following subtitle tracks in the export: (only available when Format is set to “As a separate file”) A series of checkboxes lets you turn on which subtitle tracks to output.

NOTE: Neither analog (Line 21) nor digital (CEA-708) closed caption output via Decklink or UltraStudio is supported at this time.

— Codec: (only available when Format is set to “As embedded captions”) Lets you choose how to format embedded closed captions; choices include Text and CEA-608.
