Need Broadcast Close Captioning 608 and 708 in Vegas Pro

The only thing keeping me from dropping premiere pro is how easy it is to create broadcast close captioning (608 and 708) within the program. I see no way to do popup or popon 608 and 708 broadcast captions within Vegas Pro. Need an update so I can drop Premiere Pro. I haven't found a way to do it as easily within Vegas. If I missed it let me know.

I used to caption my TV show in VEGAS, forgot the exact method, but I'd put in my titles, then when exporting it also generated a .srt file that I was able to give to the engineer at the TV station, and they were able to import and encode the captions that way.

Systems:

Desktop

AMD Ryzen 7 1800x 8 core 16 thread at stock speed

Geforce RTX 3090

Windows 10

Laptop:

The HELP file explains how to insert CC in Vegas. I don't think it is very friendly. You could also purchase Caption Assistant from VAAST. http://vasstsoftware.com/product/captionassistant/#:~:text=Caption%20Assistant%20gives%20you%20control,are%20left%20aligned%20with%20it.
