I have searched the forums and read the one thread I found. I also read the excellent tutorial at http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/add_closed_captions_to_your_video_project.
My project is a 2.3 minute promo and I want a simple closed caption for the entire 2.3 minutes that says 'music playing'
I have tried both importing and adding a marker by hand, and the timeline shows it. When I enable CC1 in the preview window it shows up correctly.
When I 'render as' the Metadata options to 'save project markers in rendered media file' is GRAYED OUT. For every type of output format I have tried, and I tried most of them, including the ones listed in the tutorial.
I searched the web extensively and no luck. What I really want is a template or the EXACT settings to embed the CC into the resulting file.
I have been a Vegas user since version 4, and usually I can figure out whatever I want to do by searching and trying the settings.
At this point I will use any output format that works. What I need is the closed captioning embedded into an H.264. I do not want to send a cc file with the video, as an aside the client specifically asked to ONLY have the CC embedded into the H.264 file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
