Subtitle Import for FCPX

After several people asked for direct YouTube (sbv) import I implemented the format in the new version of XTI beside the already supported .srt and .stl text files

There is also a new "style note" support which can make life easier in FCPX. Unfortunately FCPXMLs don't support any effect parameters therefore each subtitle looks like the original Motion Template.
But once you have imported a subtitle XML the "style notes" can be helpful. If the source file (SRT, STL)
supports settings per subtitle a minimized "style note" will be created.
This note is searchable in FCPX and font type and font size can be changed with one or two clicks for all found subs for this category. Unfortunately not all of the style, simple face color and alignment can't be changed that easy. But you still have the list of what needs to changed
The option to add a marker UUID and save a text file of the converted subtitle sources allows coworkers to check and correct spelling and or grammar. Saving the changes to the text allow to find the changed things in FCPX easily even if their time position has changed.
The option to name the subtitles makes it easy to find them by name - without the annoying bug in FCPX's find text.

The app will be free till end of the week, up from then it will only be free for 50 titles at a time. You still can split your source files convert and merge them within FCPX.

Hey Andreas, FCP Text does make it into Premiere Pro CC's titler.

hi strypes,

i haven't tried the actual release of ppro.

but with those versions ii tried the fcp text genarators are imported but they are placed on upper left - so not that helpful.
xti is not thought to work with ppro. ;-)

probably there will soon html extension based plugins for ppro which may allow text based import/export of subtitles.
with current versions of ppro cc subtitles (not cloud but ntsc subs) are supported.
