reading embedded closed captions

Blaine-WItherow wrote on 9/10/2020, 1:12 PM

Vegas Pro 16, 17 and 18 will not read embedded closed captions. (Vegas Pro 11 will) If you have no sidecar SCC file, you are out of luck with no captions. At times this feature could be very important. Tech support acknowledged this problem to me in version 17, but it is still not fixed. Fortunately it will read the sidecar SCC file, if you have it. (Windows 10, Dell Laptop, Vegas Pro 18)

I also opened a ticket, here's the response I received:

This is a known issue which will be resolved in a future application update. Thank you for reporting this issue.

I asked if they have an ETA on a fix, but will not hold my breath waiting for a response on that.

They responded that it was a known issue that will be fixed, eventually.

This issue has now been fixed in VP19, build 424. Apparently this issue was being confused with another issue (the lack of support for 708 captions), and that was preventing progress on it. Even though he said he didn't fix it, I'll credit Gary R. at Magix for getting the ball rolling, and the Magix devs for getting this longstanding bug fixed.
