When will the ability to import closed caption be added to Video Pro X

Everything I read in the Forum says I can't import srt files so as to submit movies to Filmhub and the like. Why is Video Pro X not have this ability that most other video editors have? It is apparently in Vegas from what I read and that isn't the flagship video software for Magix. It needs to be to make it competitive and easier to work with.

We are born an awareness that takes a body. During life we build a personality, defense system, understanding of life. But all of that came after we were born, and is not who we truly are. We are each one seven billionth of one species among hundreds of thousands of species on a small little planet that circles a small ball of fire in a galaxy containing more suns than all the grains of sand in all the deserts of the earth, a galaxy among billions of galaxies, a galaxy flying through never ending space at 1,304,880 miles per hour. Our made up personality wants to be the center of all things, a god, but we aren't. We are like those little grains of sand in the endless eternal desert, but diamonds and sapphires are grains of sand. Like those little grains of sand, we are each a beautiful diamond. Let God love you.

Hi Doug,

Correct, VPX does not do CC, unfortunately.

It is apparently in Vegas from what I read and that isn't the flagship video software for Magix.

Actually, Vegas is intended to be the top of line for professionals.

See this magazine article.

Here is the English translation:

Of course, there is still a distance to the professional league, because Video deluxe is supposed to keep some distance to Video Pro X - and not least to the Vegas Pro, which was bought four years ago. Or are we getting this wrong?

Hagen Hirche: The main differences between Video deluxe, Video Pro X and Vegas Pro are the range of functions and the operating concept. Video deluxe and Video Pro X form a product family, Video Pro X is seen as the big brother. Vegas, on the other hand, is a product family with a separate, international user base and is aimed directly at professional users who make money with video editing.

So Magix Video Pro X isn't professional editing software these days, but more for dedicated hobby editors?

Hagen deer:It all depends on how you look at it. Video Pro X can definitely compete with professional video editing software in many aspects and is still part of the Video deluxe product family for all do-it-yourself customers. We're not dogmatic about that.

How do you pave the way for Video deluxe users to use the professional product Vegas? Are there efforts to become more uniform here?

Hagen deer:Video deluxe users who are looking for more will usually find the ideal solution in Video Pro X with a very similar operating concept. The Video deluxe and Vegas product families, on the other hand, were developed in parallel over many years by separate development teams and each have their own operating concepts and fans. We will preserve this duality at the request of the users. Anyone who needs an ACES-compliant processing chain, expandability according to professional standards or the scripting options of Vegas Pro has not started with Movie Edit Pro. And those who love Movie Edit Pro's many templates and user interface for their personal projects may find it difficult to learn Vegas Pro. Exceptions prove the rule.

Are there efforts to create an easier transition here?

Hagen Hirche: We are closely monitoring the switching behavior of our users and currently see hardly any movement between the product families. Nevertheless, due to modular development, a certain technical harmonization takes place in the long term.

You can get yourself an inexpensive copy of Vegas Edit Pro on HumbleBundle if you hurry.

You can always raise a ticket with Magix asking them to put CC/srt files on the wish list. You are not alone.

Do you know how to import it to VPX, I am reading it but I haven't read how. Or is it saying it will place it in within the Batch Subtitles Converter software and generate a new mp4 with the subtitles?

A word of Warning about subtitleedit mentioned above. At least the link I went to from the video downloaded an installer that I didn't get to because I was gone two days. When I got back home Windows Security had 16 messages about quarantining it. So I told Security to delete it but I still get occasional warnings that Security blocked it.
