No way – except you use or create a Motion template and change that for your needs on customer request

That's not a lot ;-)

As said above use/create a Motion template.

For subtitles Boris is NO option.
Try Outline Text – but it won't help to change all subs with a click.
You also could use TextUp witch is automatically installed with TitleExchange. It fits the needs for subtitling way better than any of the generators which come along with FCP. But also this one (as all of the available generators) won't allow to batch change styles.
So again use/create a Motion template.

Read the the help file carefully and it will work.

Here "another again" use/create a Motion template.
