Encoding Subtitles and Captions

What is the flow of handling subtitles and captions with Bitmovin, and what API endpoints should be used? I want to segment a WEBVTT file with a manifest that I can associate with my main manifest. I’ve discovered multiple API endpoints, but it’s unclear what some of them do and how they should be used. Please help.

I have encoding/encodings/{encoding_id}/sidecars/webvtt outputting a segmented vtt file. However, it’s missing a manifest.

Hi,
You will likely need to add a text AdaptationSet and Text representation to your manifest.

The Text representation should reference your WebVtt stream

Please let me know in case you have any questions.
