Subtitles when opening MLT XML as Clip

I really appreciate the possibility to work on smaller projects and finally import all the smaller projects into one large project.

However, it seems that the subtitles are not recognized in the main project. Am I doing something wrong or is it just the way it is?

I am referring to the subtitle track that is not burnt into the video but can be opted on a tv.

This is not possible, currently. But I have changed this topic to a “Suggestion” in case other people are interested to comment on it.

I’m also interested in this feature. I have a 7 days trip split into 7 mlts each with subtitles that I was hoping I could export in one go.

The external workaround I found is to export the 7 projects individually and use ffmpeg’s concat feature to merge them together (fast and lossless). You need to use “-map 0” argument and ffmpeg will also merge the subtitles together along with video and audio.

The only downside I found so far is the occasional cracking/pop sound in between the individual projects (this can be fixed by adding fade in/out audio at every start/end of the project).
