I've been using this technique for the past year because Final Cut's lack of proper customisable captions is infuriating. All I want is to make a semi-transparent box behind my subtitles. It almost drove me to Resolve just because of that alone. These days I edit my videos in Final Cut then finish them in Resolve just for adding captions...
I find CZcams doesn't quite align the timing of my .itt FCP subtitle file to the spoken words. So I upload a .txt into Captions and allow CZcams to do the timing. It's much better and I then make any small corrections necessary. That's if you don't want to burn your subtitles in!
That’s one way of doing it . I believe I used CapCut to export an srt file from a video and import that srt file into fcp x . That way I skipped the green screen process
@@RCodyWanner no . If you want effects then yes you would take this route . Srt file is simply text . But you can change font in fcp x to whatever you have in your font book. But it won’t be as animated as the ones illustrated in this video
@@Serge1913 I have the Pro version. I can take a video and summarize the dialogue, extract questions, make bullet lists, extract stats, make a mind map, and on and on. Making captions is about 1% of what it can do.. Incredible if you have to do more than just edit.
This is the easiest way to do it if you want animated captions. I have MacWhisper but I use Capcut for auto caption. The thing with SRT file in FCP is that it's just text, and you have to manually animate every word in FCP.
@@ozedsal5581 But isn't the animation, color, font, formatting, etc, baked into the capcut version? How do you edit a caption in FCP once you import it?
@imaginetmedia do you have a video for all the things you say you do with Mac whisper? I have the program, and use it for transcripts, but I would love to use it for more!
Everything FinalCut can't do is a matter of course for Capcut. Users have to switch from FinalCut to Capcut because of small transciptions. Are you serious?🤣🤣
Aww love this! This was the best tip until Capcut made it a Pro feature - now I'm working on another method!!😭
This is such a great workaround to getting auto captions in FCP! Thanks for sharing Serge 😄🙏🏼
That seemed pretty easy to do. Thanks for sharing this tip. I may try this......Take care, Bluefin.

Wow awesome - thanks
Great tip Serge
Dude your a boss! thank you so much :)
Not free anymore...

does the SRT keep the same effects/style that you chose in capcut? or is it just importing the text, and then you modify within fcp?
The thing with SRT is that it's just text, and you have to manually animate every word in FCP. This is the easiest way to do it.

Hi @Serge M
Thanks.
Do you know a way to fully automate this from FCPX to CC with a bot or something?
It could save so much time if possible.
Thanks.
Thanks Serge
Muchas gracias. 👍
I tried to export and it says to export captions you have to join the pro version
Awesome
Спасибо большое! Привет из России.
I wonder if it is possible to create a macro using keyboard maestro? At least for some parts of the process.
Is there a benefit bringing it back into FCPX, rather than just exporting straight out of CapCut?
Excellent tool for captioning, can it also translate?
It can but at least for Korean it's very poor. It used to also be free but I think they made that feature paid a month or two ago.
Why doesn't Apple add these and other features to the program?
Capcut, premiere, resolve have these functions for a long time!
Fcpx lost this battle.
I use MacWhisper. It is free and uses AI to generate transcriptions Just export from as .srt files. Could not be easier.
Never heard of it. I’ll have a look. Thanks!

CapCut now requires the upgrade to the Pro version to auto-caption... NOT FREE!!!
Apple's Final Cut "Pro" in 2024 btw
Im the first comment yay!
You are!
I thought you were using CAPTIONATOR?
I was. CapCut is more accurate and has more options, so now I use CapCut
CapCut auto caption is no longer free
None of what he said worked under the free account he claimed to have
It was free until the last update.
not free
