Yes it can. Import movie file, and the then on the subtitles tab
import your srt file.

Teddy,
Semi-related to this thread... Can Handbrake be used to
embed closed caption SCC files in an h264 MP4 file? I already
have the sidecar SCC file, but I want to embed the captions in
something other than a Quicktime MOV or an MXF file. The
files that I get from Premiere are just way too big...
Stephen have you tried DWAA-compressed EXR
sequences? or does it need to be a video container (sounds
like it)? Chris AFAIK cineform files are even bigger than
Prores at the same flavor.Â
Other thought - what about H265 or an x264 compressed
h264 file using ffmpeg? I find the Adobe implementation of
h264 uniformly terrible, via older versions of AE, AME or
Premiere. You can get very very clean frames out of x264
at high resolutions using Aftercodecs or ffmpeg command
line (also fast). H265 offers even smaller files but
unfortunately is very slow to encode. Could be worth a
test though. Last thought - have you tried photo-JPEG? One
of my go-to codecs for large-res stuff. Great performance
and file sizes. minimally lossy

GoPro's Cineform? I don't see you mention
it. I'm not sure if it fits all your requirements but
you've obviously tried all the usual suspects so it
might be the only other option.
Okay, need the
collective Borg mind here on visually lossless, low AE
impact codec to turn PNG sequences into video file.
What AE accessible codec can render out a under 10
megabyte, greater than 8-bit, visually lossless file?
We've had no success with ProRes, Avid, QuickTime,
AVI. Compromise would be 8-bit file (but process in AE
in 32-bit) as the source PNGs are 8-bit.
Noise and artifacts are a huge concern as we have 1.1
million PNGs, each of in motion over background of 4
million individual background galaxies (23 TIFF 10,000
x 10,000 pixels tiles).
DETAILS:
We are preparing to render out the 8K native fulldome
of the film, recomposed for the 180 view. We have
reached the (in)famous section so many folks here
helped render. Those might recall it was 40 second
shot with 1.1 million PNG files and a bunch of large
TIFFs.
That render at 5.6k was a 5.5 years on the fastest
workstations of two years ago. Give we are at 8K,
that's a real problem.
We had the idea that turning the dozens of sequence of
PNG sequences into movie files might dramatically
improve things. Testing has revealed this to be true
as the PNG files, most are so tiny, even the fastest
SSD disk IO speeds are floppy disk era read speeds.
Here's the problem - AE 2019 has RAM issues. If we
render the PNGs to 8-bit uncompressed QuickTime,
that's about 160GB for each 30,000 image sequence. For
testing, it we make it a 700MB MP4, render speed
nearly doubles on a 64GB box.
However MP4 compression introduces noise and artifacts
as well as affects our masking and we are going out to
12-bit DCP. Also, the frame size is 1316 x 1316 pixels
at 30.000fps (it must be that for our purposes)
Best,

A film is – or should be – more like music than like
fiction. It should be a progression of moods and
feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later.
