OT - Subtitle App Beta Tester Wanted

As some people asked me whether I could implement direct SRT subtitle import into XTI — I did it.
Would be great to have some real world testers.
So if you got spare time drop me an email (kiel at spherico dot com)

Hi Andy,

No it doesn't CC it just allows to import Spruce STL and SRT as open captions into FCPX.

don't get it

I have my subs as pict and my STL (all from Belle Nuit) in a folder

I "mix" it all with your app... obtain a .fcpxml but when I try to import that XML into Fcp X I get this message :

Error in FCPX

What did you try TitleExchange or XTI?

Francois,

XTI doesn't support "picture based" subtitles.

Oups, I thought XTI was an abbreviation for Title Exchange !

I just wondered about the workflow to go from Belle Nuit to Fcp X, if it is possible ....

now I understand you need TEP for that if you want to edit the subs. like you told me in that thread

Previous thread

Out of curiosity I just wondered about the "no so good" methode from Belle Nuit to FcpX.

From Belle Nuit export an SRT file, use that with XTI.

Andreas I have been posting everywhere this week for a subtitle solution in FCPX.

In FCP7 I imported subtitles in xml into the timeline - I did this so I could edit in a foreign language. Then I would format the subtitles and do a hard burn for english version.

I want to be able to do this in FCPX and do an english hard-burn but then use the .srt file (at final movie output) for foreign languages in Quicktime players or DVD.

I would like to know if this is what you can help me achieve?

my email is jon@emptymindfilms.com

Jon,

Along with TitleExchange there come 2 apps (XTI,XTE)

One can be used to import subtitle files (Spruce STL or SRT) into FCPX, the other one to extract subtitles out of a FCPXML and convert them into a Spruce STL.
Both apps do come with help PDFs (in the Help menu item).
For DVDs with DVD Studio you need the STL, creating a DVD with Encore requires an Encore text script, other authoring tools require their own format.
YouTube requires SRT other players a different format.
To convert to the needed formats TitleExchange will help, there are more than 30 formats available there.

So your steps would be to create a STL or SRT file. In FCPX create a "template" - means create an empty project with the right settings, add a title of your choice to it and export the project as XML.

With XTI open the template, then open the SRT/STL. The app will create a new FCPXML. Then import this XML into FCPX.

Regards

Andreas
