Reference: Supported Input Containers

If the source captions are inside the input container, you can include them in the input only if the AWS Elemental encoder can extract the captions from the container. The AWS Elemental encoder can extract captions only from specific input containers types.

If the source captions are an external file (sidecar captions) in one of the supported formats (for example, an SRT file), you can include them in the transcoding regardless of the input container.
