When I import an .srt file with all some of the text italicized, I see <i>...</i> tags instead of italics in the burned-in subtitles.
When there is one line of text or one word tagged it comes out as italic.
When the whole sentence is marked as italic and it's on two lines, Premiere Pro doesn't recognize the tag and displays in in Regular font
with <i>...</i> tags.

In order to display italics on both lines of text in one subtitle, each line has to be tagged <i>...</i> separately.
Please, fix the error, so when a whole block of text on two lines is marked with only one tag <i>...</i> , Premiere will understand it has to be italics.
Thanks!

I used Captions to cut a video that was in a language that i do not speak. As i cut the video, i did the captions. 1:1 so as to keep the lips and the captions together. now i have a cut up caption on my video that i would like to export as its own new srt file separate from the video so that it can be toggled on/off on Youtube or Vimeo and not burnt on to the video itself, but there is no way to do that. apparently i have to make a new caption file and copy, paste, and enter time code from the cut down.

Background color and size changes appear in the Captions panel but NOT in the timeline. All was well earlier today. I closed project, reopened, and now the SRT file cannot be edited.

Earlier issue was I edited SRT file, change appered in timeline as expected, but change would not appear in the export via encoder.

Restarted, solved that problem, but then the bkgnd color and size appear to resist being edited.

In attached screengrab, note captions panel with red background on left, and Program panel in right, with Black background and small font.

Generally, captions are ****** in Premier. Very lame.
Thank you.

It's very difficult to find how to export Captions. It's ONLY available if you highlight the item in the Projects display window as a right click or from File > Export.
It is NOT available when the captions are highlighted in the Timeline.
It's greyed out as an Export option if you don't have this project item selected.
It is not available through the Media Export ... as you cant switch off Video and Photo.
- Can it be available and not greyed out if you have a caption track (if you had more than one caption tracks you could select one or export all)
- Can it be available as a Right Click from the Timeline?

Bug fix / Feature change Request: Please add availability of File Format window to the Embed in output file dialog box.

Problem in short: .MCC will not embed both 608 and 708 properly unless .MCC is selected in the Create Sidecar File Menu first. The issue creates a scenario where you are expecting 608 and 708 caption files to be embedded in the output file, but when happens instead is only the 608 Captions are embedded.

Problem longer description: I discovered that .mcc caption files, containing 608/708 captions, do not properly Embed in output file (under Captions/Export Options) when exporting. Instead they only embed .scc or the 608 information. The only way I have found to remedy this and have both 608 and 708 information appear in the exported file is to change the File Format to .MCC under Captions/File Format, BUT this can only happen if the Export Options pull down menu is set to Create Sidecar File. In other words, the only way to select to Embed .mcc captions is to change the export option menu temporarily to "Create Sidecar” and change the file format to .mcc, then change the Export options menu back to Embed in Output file. At this point in the dialog box the File Format option is greyed out and cannot be changed.
