Yea!
😂… thanks.
Hey brother, i have a question, i added subtitles in my video timeline, asnd it exported the video without the subtitles at all, what should i do ?
Could it be you're mistaking CAPTIONS for TITLES? Those are two different things. CAPTIONS need to be turned ON after export to be seen.
hello how you force subtitles autmaticeley when I play your vidéo ? Its a key work to add ?
There is no way. It's (fortunately) up to the user to turn them on and off.
I can't believe I learned this from Jerry Smith, finally you find yourself to something and it worked!
Erm… Jerry Smith?? 🤨 Wha?
great job. one question. Can I import an SRT file from TH-cam into my FCP project and just align it with the movie?
Thanks! Glad you like it. 😊
And YES, you can import any SRT and assuming you exported it correctly AND it's (obviously) the same clip, then you don't even have to align anything, it'll be aligned by itself. 😉
@@postpros-e thank you very much:) could you explain quickly if possible how to import the SRT file into the FCP project? Much appreciation.
Great info! One issue, though: I need to export a QT with several languages as CEA-608 subtitles. But FCPX just allows me to select one under the Multitrack menu... any idea how I can do this within FCPX without having to add them manually in some app like Handbrakle? Many thanks!
Unfortunately, that's not (yet?) possible from within FCP. You can of course export all the languages as separate .SCC (or .SRT) files and use an external app to embed them all after the fact. For example, with Handbrake I believe, yes. Simply embedding the subtitles shouldn't compromise quality either.
@@postpros-e Thanks!
How do you or can you change the font of captions?
*_You_* don't. If anything - assuming it's even supported by the chosen format - the *_viewer_* does/can.
You're not confusing them with regular ol' TITLES, are you? Because captions and titles are of course two entirely different things i.e. for entirely different use-cases.
Thank you! No one was showing how this can be done to export the media with the captions in the video file (not burn in). However, my issue is that when I go to export, it won't let me choose the 608 as an option. Any ideas what could be the cause? Even though the 608 is the only set I have in the timeline.
Hi! Thanks, glad I could help!
I'm assuming you mean how to *_embed_* the captions? If you have 608 captions and it's not allowing you to embed, I can only assume you're using a codec that doesn't allow for that? What are you exporting as? Have you tried other destinations e.g. Apple Devices?
Is it important they be embedded? Because you can of course always just simply export the sidecar file and use that.
@@postpros-e It seems that FCPX does not allow export of 608 captions to MXF Broadcast format. Which is exactly what I need them for to deliver a video to networks like MTV. At least that is what I have found on Apple support forums.
I even tried embedding in another format, then exporting to MXF, but it strips them on export.
@@SpacedOutStudiosEntertainment Aha. MXF. I knew it had to be something like that. But I can’t honestly say if that’s a limitation of the MXF container format or of Final Cut Pro. I have to assume that it is a limitation of MXF. So delivering the subtitles as a sidecar file is not an option?
@@SpacedOutStudiosEntertainment Maybe try Handbrake? I have no idea if it does MXF, but it does embed captions.
@@postpros-e Unfortunately it isn't. But I ended up restarting the entire project in Adobe Premiere Pro to get the subtitles right. All good now, but I prefer FCPX..now I may have to invest in Premiere long term.... Anyway Thanks again! and Happy New year!
hi there, i want to ask, how do you add the black background in the subtitles?
They are auto-generated upon embedding them.
@@postpros-e I am interested in getting rid of the black background. Do ,you have a suggestion? I tried changing the role to CEA-608. I can then get rid of the box but but then, I can't seem to find the way ttu change the font.
@@fannyhubart-salmon7862 Closed captions are a simple industry standard. They are not meant to be regular titles and are therefore extremely limited in formatting. Even if there _were_ an option for certain parameters such as font, that would be irrelevant and misleading, since which font, its size etc. used on *_the viewing end_* is relative to the settings of the CC interpreter.
Again, they are _not_ meant as a replacement for regular titles. If you need specific control over typeface options beyond maybe bold, italic etc., then you need to be using just a regular title.
Thanks for the video.. when I go to File > Import > it has only CE-608 option.. whereas you have SRT option as well.
Hey… you have to either create an SRT subtitle *_ROLE_* before importing to import them into directly OR import Tham as 608 and simply convert them as I show in the video. Hope that helps!
@@postpros-e can I have your email or something to get this solve? it will means a lot to me.
@@digitalvaato I don't understand the issue. If you have an SRT file, you can simply import it via FILE -> IMPORT -> CAPTIONS and they'll import just fine. Other wise you just need to explain in more detail what it is you're trying to do.
@@postpros-e What I am saying is, when I go to File > Import .. it does not have option for SRT to import
@@digitalvaato As I just wrote: if you use FILE -> IMPORT -> *_CAPTIONS_* then you can import a correctly formatted SRT file as captions into your timeline.
I created my SRT file in TextEdit and added SRT to FCP under Modify > Assign Caption Roles > Edit Roles > +SRT. However, when I go to File > Import > Captions > Import as Role: SRT, it does not allow me to select and upload my SRT file. I can see the file itself, but I can't click on it and it's greyed out. Any ideas? Thank you.
Hey Patricia… first and foremost it has to be saved as a UTF-8 file and of course, have SRT as the suffix. Beyond that, I'd be surprised if you actually get it imported AND work correctly, since if there's even so much as a single comma or semi-colon missing or misplaced, it isn't going to happen. I'd highly recommend getting an app that creates standard SRTs with everything format conform, not *_TextEdit_* of all things, and save yourself a LOT of potential headaches (such as this one). Cheers.
@@postpros-e Thanks for your help!
When I add my SRT it cuts it short... and when I add an SCC it imports and aligns perfectly but it adds weird characters in my sentences can you help me with what I could be missing?
Hey… there must be an issue with the formatting. Not conform to the SRT guidelines. Where are they coming from? One would need to look where it's cut short and simply check the file (it's a regular text file) and see what's going on. Same for the odd characters.
POST-PROfessionals thank you for responding the text file when I open it has everything there but when I embed it it stops at 4 mins. When I open the other SCC files it doesn’t have those characters that shows up when the files is embedded... I’m using the software “Movie Captioner” that where I make and export my text files
@@isamps1749 Sorry, without seeing the actual file it's pretty much impossible to say what the issue is. 🤷🏼♂️
Is it possible to delete captions after importing a video with burned in captions? if yes can all 3 formats do that or only a specific format? if yes which one?
obviously you can delete closed captions from a video when you import it, but I have never seen a video telling about open captions to edit those again..
As the name says... they’re BURNT-IN. So, no.
POST-PROfessionals so I can edit them but not delete them? if I can edit them after importing, it should be possible to delete
privatejetlag I don’t know what you’re seeing then since BURNT IN titles are by their very nature not editable. So if you’re able to edit them, then they are not burnt in.
POST-PROfessionals true! so at 5:42 you imported a video file with close captions (I think in that video file you had both the burned in and the closed captions, thats what I was confused of) only those are possible to edit, now its clear, thanks man, and awesome video! keep the good work up! subscribed!
One last question, I am not sure if I need this or not or what it exactly does, right before you share the master file , in the section "Roles" behind the .srt file is another little box which says "include text formatting" . I exported once with and once without but actually I don't see any difference , can you explain me what it does and for what I need that?
When I would go to export and embed my captions, my "Embed CEA-608" switch was disabled didn't let me click on it, even though I had a CEA-608 caption in my timeline, any thoughts on this?
Are you in fact exporting in a format that ALLOWS for embedded captions?
@@postpros-e I believe so 🤔 I was exporting in MXF, does the video codec effect that maybe? XDCAM HD (35 Mbps)
Actually, you're right I just checked in a regular .mov file format, and that enables me to switch embed on 🤔thats weird, the client preferred MXF as this was for a television spot, you would think a broadcasting format would enable that though right smh 🙄
@@OHMYJOSHH Bingo. That's because *the MXF standard does not in fact support embedding of CCs* . Apple, for better or worse, sticks to standards. Other NLEs that CAN embed them are either simply working non-standard (for the sake of artificially padding their feature list), which is _never_ a good idea, or using different MXF codecs.
So you can either export the CCs as an SRT file and give that to the broadcaster to embed themselves OR jump over to e.g. Resolve via XML and export it from there. Whether THAT then conforms to what the broadcaster needs otherwise, I don't know.
@@postpros-e yeah I just exported the CC file separately and they were fine with that 👍🏼, thank you so much, really appreciate you taking the time to answer 🥺🙏🏼
And how to remove the black background to SRT subtitles. ?
Hey Juan! The black background is NOT generated by FCP.
SRT is a standard that defines the standard look of subtitles, which includes the background for legibility. If you check the gear icon at the bottom right of THIS VIDEO you will see the options for subtitles and what you can change and what you can't. HERE, on TH-cam, for example, you can only change the COLOR of the background, but you can't turn it off completely.
If you need subtitles that you can define entirely yourself, then you need to use just regular titles. But those cannot be turned off, but rather are "burnt-in"!
@@postpros-e Then you can not. This software is not up to other video editors. like Avid or Adobe. Final Cut is for children of 10 years.
Jump to 4:13 to see how to burn in captions.
Chapters added. 😉
nothing on importing SRT file?
File -> Import -> Captions… done. 😉
very complexe to understand
Hope it helped!
