Remove unwanted and unnecessary forced captions from local exports

You recently added auto-captions to local exports. It never worked this way before.
There is no option to turn this off. Are you trying to make me switch to another provider, because wasting my time with this is really help with that goal!

Yes please. This is super annoying

Not changing the status on this yet because I think there is still a concern that we do not support this for Local Exports. We have a workaround for the moment however: https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/articles/33701193002125-Remove-Embedded-Subtitles-in-Locally-Exported-Videos

Frankly I'm stunned that this obvious feature has been languishing for 5 years.

Allow CC Hiding

The new timeline is good but all exports now include onscreen Closed Captioning that can't be turned off. I understand accessibility and SEO, and the need to have this in the metadata, but having CC automatically onscreen no matter what completely wrecks our ability to affect or control the design of the video and how captions appear. If you eliminate the old timeline soon without this feature being adjustable, it will seriously affect whether we use Descript for our social content.

After multiple re-renders, and combing through the entire UI thinking I must have missed a setting, I found my way to this thread.
So, to the Descript product management team, after wasting 45 minutes trying to remove the embedded subtitles that redundantly display below the animated captions I selected, I'm spelling it out: it creates a confusing visual for the viewer. This is a basic usability issue.
As I'm seeing here that this embedded subtitles issue has been documented, and the requests to address this have been submitted enough times for you to recognize that it is problematic, please satisfy us customers, and fix this.

Option to turn on/off embedding subtitles during export
N
Nikolai Eidissen
PROBLEM:
Practically all video players (online and offline) automatically display embedded subtitles when available. The embedded subtitles are automatically shown on top of any hardcoded captions when the video is played back. This is a big problem.
Easy Solution:
Users of Descript must get the option to turn on/off adding embedded subtitles when exporting videos.
- Please fast-track this, this is very important and extremely easy to implement. Should take a matter of minutes.

Ability to publish without subtitles
Martin Carlsson
Then exporting subtitles are baked in. It would be great if there was an option to avoid that.

Adding to this as well. Would be great to be able to export without the subtitles track. Clients like to open files in Safari (on mobile) where it'll automatically run/attach the subtitles and is confusing to end users! Would love to see it as an option :)
