I tried to use Elemental MediaConvert to generate a video with burned-in caption using TTML file as the source of the caption. But when I set Pass style information to ENABLED under the Output -> Captions tab in the console, the caption did not appear in the output video. I could not figure out why this happened. The format for the TTML file follows the guideline in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/ttml-style-formatting.html.
Below is the JSON request body used for the job:

This is a sample of the TTML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<tt xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml" xmlns:ttp="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#parameter" ttp:timeBase="media" xmlns:tts="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#style" xml:lang="en" xmlns:ttm="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml#metadata">
<head>
<metadata>
<ttm:title></ttm:title>
</metadata>
<styling>
<style xml:id="s0" tts:backgroundColor="black" tts:fontStyle="normal" tts:fontSize="20" tts:fontFamily="proportionalSansSerif" tts:color="white" />
I have tried to do some research and tried different inputs but I cannot figure out what was wrong, so I would like to ask for help in figuring out what was wrong with this and how should I make it work. Thank you in advance for the help.
