Captions formats supported in CMAF Ingest outputs - MediaLive

Captions formats supported in CMAF Ingest outputs

In this table, look up your input container and captions type. Then read across to find the caption formats that are supported in MediaLive when you have this input container and captions type, and produce these outputs:

  • CMAF Ingest output

  • MediaPackage output with a CMAF Ingest container

Note

You can also produce subtitles without a caption source in your input. Enable the Smart Subtitles feature, which uses AWS Elemental Inference to generate TTML or WebVTT subtitles from the audio. For more information, see Smart Subtitles using Elemental Inference.
