HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Ever wondered how to add automatic subtitles or auto caption in Final Cut Pro? Well, here it is! In under 2 minutes!!
🎬 How to Auto Caption in Final Cut Pro - Quick Guide:
1. Export Your Video from Final Cut Pro: Export the video you want to caption and save it as "for captioning" on your desktop.
2. Use CapCut for Captioning: Open CapCut (a free app available for Mac and PC). Import your video from Final Cut Pro into CapCut.
3. Auto-Generate Captions: In CapCut, navigate to "Text", "Auto Captions". Choose your language and press "Create" to automatically generate captions.
4. Edit Captions: Zoom into your timeline to view captions. To edit, go to "Captions" and make necessary changes, including adding emojis or customizing text.
5. Disable Video Layer: Back in CapCut, select your video and press 'V' to disable the video layer, leaving only the captions.
6. Export Captions: Go to "File", "Export". Keep the settings as is or match them to your Final Cut Pro version. Remember, don't choose caption exporting as it's a paid feature.
7. Import Captions Back to Final Cut Pro: Export the captions to your desktop. Then, drag them back onto your video in Final Cut Pro.
8. Remove Black Background: Use the "Luma Keyer" effect in Final Cut Pro to remove the black background from your captions.
9. Fine-Tuning: Adjust the opacity of your captions and consider adding a drop shadow for better visibility.

The title should be How to use Auto Caption in CapCut :)
haha also true!🤪
😂
I think it is a good title as it is.😅
At least, I was searching exactly for this, and looking for this type of solution for FCP. 😊👍
The title should include CapCut as this is where the captioning takes place and not in FCP.
good point!!
lol, that’s just a small detail bro
You are the actual best! This is super helpful!
I’m so glad!!🤍🤍
HUGE time saver. Thank you. And nice work keeping the video so short! 👏
Yaaas the way it should be!! Thank you!!
😅Thank you for providing the workaround. I hope Apple includes auto-captions as a built-in option in Final Cut Pro!
Riiiiight!!! Where’s the update fcp?!?!
It's crazy that this isn't native to Final Cut yet. Apple just built it and shipped it then that's that! Thanks for sharing !
hahahaha so true. like plz apple it’s not that hard we have ai now!!!
I've used Captionator in the past, but now when I use it, all of my words are run together, like without spaces, kindoflikethis, what setting do I need to fix this please?
Whoa I’ve never used that before! That is really weird! If it were me, I’d ask chatGPT!!
Thank you!!! 🙏🏽
You are very welcome!!🎬🎬
Thank you for this. Once I add the captions in CapCut why do I take it back to Final Cut Pro? Also once I closed the project in FCP I couldn't figure out how to open it again so I just went with the one from CapCut and I didn't see the black lines on the edge.
You're right, you don't have to!! Just export it in Capcut if it's your last step!!!
Great video! I think you'd get a much cleaner result by applying the blend mode "Add" to the captions video in Final Cut. Using luma key will give you rough edges most times.
Yes! I tried that at first but for me “add” worked best with white text and I was using so many colors in my captions it was being wonky. But this is also a great tip!!👏🏼
@@EllevonEditing Oww, you are right! it does mess up any of the coloring :(
I hope someday Capcut allows for exporting Alpha channel so we can just export this. I would happily pay for it cause it saves so much time!
This is AMAZING! I’ve been so frustrated that final cut doesn’t have even the basic captioning of an Instagram sticker. This is really helpful! Thank you so much!
RIGHT!?! They have to add this feature at some point. I totally agree!!! I’m so glad it was helpful!!
Great tutorial Ellevon! One question, my auto generated caption on CapCut is all lowercase "it looks like this, i am so fruastrated." I have to manually change certain words to uppercase; however, in your video it looks legit with caps on "I've been using this brand..." it looks perfect. You didn't have the same problem with all lower case caption? Thanks!
I think you can make the letters all caps and select a box that says “apply to all” so everything capitalizes! it’s in the text editor!
A masterpiece video! So much so quickly, but 100% easy to follow! Awesome. Great tips, thanks.
Thank you! Haha it’s a lot but I’m glad it still works🙏🏻
I love your desktop screen omg
Thank you I made it on midjourney lolll!!
Auto caption is amazing, thank you so much for this!!
It really is!!
gotta leave a comment here, thanks genius!
Thank you!!🎬🎬
Thank you so much. This two minutes video cleared all my doubts. Love from India
I’m so glad it helped you!!!🥰🥰
this was soooo helpful! thank you
Yay!! Awesome I’m so glad!!
Incredible. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome so glad it helped!!
Hey! Capcut recently gave limitations to auto caption uses because they made it a Pro feature now :') do you have an alternative to this method by any chance?
I just saw this!!! I’ll do some research!!
😢
thank you for this ! super helpful❤
I’m so glad!! Thank you!!
I seriously cannot thank you enough for this!!!!!! What an amazing time- and money-saver!!!
Ahhh I love this!!! That’s why I make these I’m so glad it helped you!!
ayeeeee nice!
thank you!!
love that this is 2 minutes
Yes!!!
Love this work-around! BUT as of today, 8.13.2024, the Auto-Captions feature is a Pro feature only, and you'll only be able to export a couple captions using the free trial of it. Not sure when this happened, or if I'm like the one exception, but I'm not surprised it's being paywalled given how prolific a feature it is. If anyone has a workaround for THIS I'd be so grateful, there are plenty of other paid plugins that do this, but the appeal for using CapCut was the freebie =(
In the last week I’ve gotten this comment a few times- they must have JUST changed it!!😭😭 I agree it was so easy. I may upload an updated version that is truly FREE!
If i am working on an Iphone, i will record my screen after the caption is done. Maybe not the best workflow, but fine for me. ✌🏻
This is an incredible tip, thank you!
Yay!! So glad it was helpful!!
You are fantastic, you entered my life with these amazing and straight to the point tutorials. This one in particular just changed my life 🎉
That is so sweet thank you! I’m so so glad these videos help you out!!🤍🤍
@@EllevonEditing ❤️
Awesome video! You've got yourself a new loyal follower. Thank you!
I’m so glad it helped you!!!🤍🤍
You have some great tutorials! How am I only finding out about you now? Your videos are well-produced, full of information, and directly to the point. Why don't you have more subscribers? You have at least one new subscriber now :)
Thank you, that’s so kind of you!! I just try to make videos I needed a few years ago!! 🙏🏻
the second heard export your video its no longer in fnal cut pro but its a cool tip. final cut pro are just behind natively unfortunately.
agreed they need to catch up 😭
Feature is sadly no longer free in CapCut. Wish Final Cut would get on this!
thank
you’re
Great tips! Thank you so much, this video saved my life Ellevon!
Yaaaas love to know it helped!!!
That's a great tutorial! Really appreciate it !
Thank you!! So glad it was helpful!!
thank you so much mam
I’m glad it helped!!
This is cool. Will have to try it! Thanks Emily
Thank you!!
this was a great idea and has helped me already. nice job!
Love to hear that!! Thank you!!
Muito Obrigado! Isso vai ajudar no meu canal 🙏🏽
I’m so glad!! I hope it does!
Great fast and on point. What I would like to know: How to add captions in a different language. As most of my videos are in German, I would like add captions in englisch for youtube.
good question! I suppose one way is to download the captions in german from CapCut, run them through Google Translate and add them to your video manually in the settings…
I looked into it further and you can check “bilingual captions” when you’re choosing the language!
Thank you great job!
Thank you so much!!🎬
GAME CHANGER! THANK YOU :)
It is!!! You’re welcome!!🎬
Wow... THANKS!!! I just watched a very confusing video, using Captionator, and your video just smoked it. SUBSCRIBING!!
Yay!! I’m so glad you’re here!! Thank you so much!
Perfect! Hooray! This is a great time saver!! Thank you 🔥😍
Yay I’m so glad!! Thank you!!
Thank you!!!
Happy to help!!!!🤍
Format not really nice after import capcut caption into fcp !!! But why not use capcut after all ?
Agreed, it’s honestly a great app I recommend to most peeps, on mobile especially!
Love this tip. Will try it. Thanks!
Yay I’m so glad!!
Hi, we live in India and we don't have access to CapCut. Can you suggest an alternative that will help us generate auto caption for our reels? Thanks in advance! ◡̈
Yes! Have you tried Veed.io? Veed.io does captions too!❤️
Great, fast video, thank you! ☺👍🏼
Thank you!! Yesss that’s the goal!!
Thank you so much !
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So glad it helped!!
Only issue I’m having is my Final Cut Pro video is no longer 4k is it any way to change that
To change your resolution? Yep you can modify your project’s resolution by selecting your project and then on the upper right hand inspector clicking the purple “modify” button!
nice idea!!!! thanks!
I’m glad it was helpful!!
What a smart idea! Thank you!
You’re welcome!! Glad it helps!!!
SMART
So glad it helped you!!
I may have missed something but could skip adding back to Final Cut and just add the captions in CapCut and then export from there?
Yes! haha you could also do that if it’s your last step :)
Isn't quality lost when rendering the video twice?
Nope! There won't be quality loss in your original video with that workflow. Exporting the video from FCPX to CapCut for captions, then importing only the caption layer back to FCPX, doesn't affect the original video's quality. You're simply adding a caption layer on top!
hello! thank you for the help~ the only difficulty when i did this was that the captions became blurry (not crisp and clear in FCP like they were in CapCut). Is there any way I can fix this? thank you so much!
You know, I also found if you disable the timeline in CapCut, place a green screen layer under the text captions, and export that, you can import it into Final Cut in a cleaner way by instead of using the luma keyer, use the green screen keyer and that works better!!
life saver. 🔥video
Awesome!!🥰 Thank you!
Unfortunately not free anymore... after 5 or 10 auto-captions, you cannot export these without paying for Pro...
Wowwwww I just found out!! Thank you for letting me know!!!
Great!
Yay I’m glad you enjoyed!!
THANK YOU
You are welcome!!
Thank you lady good pro tip there
Yas so glad it helped you!!!
How do I move just one block of text if I want to reposition it? When I move one it moves every single caption
Just make sure to unselect “Apply to All” when editing individual captions!
earned my sub lady thank you so much.. wow 🙏🏽🙏🏽 amazing
YAY I’m glad you’re here!!❤️❤️
Cap cut is a big game changer
It truly is!!!
Thanks a loooootttttttt ;)
No problem!! 🎬
very useful tip! thank you so much for the video! +1 more sub!!
I’m so glad!! Thank you!!
nice, thanks!
You’re welcome!!
Thank you 🙏
So glad it helped!!!
Thanks and that was fast 😂
Haha yes I can’t stand long tutorials 🤪
@EllevonEditing hahaha 😆
@EllevonEditing I have another question if I may regarding your video. Instead of pressing V to just import the captions alone can you just export the whole video with the captions too by chance? Thanks
@DerrickCByron You can just export in CapCut if the edit only needed captions as a finishing touch! Going back to fcp is only if you have to edit more.
@@EllevonEditing thanks appreciate the response
But doesn't capcut make you sign up for a pro account after 5 uses? It does for me.
Now it does!! They just changed it 😭😭
They've now made it that there's just a few limited free uses of the auto caption thing in Capcut :/
Ugh!! That’s not cool.. it’s an awesome feature!!
This is what I do. But I only export the audio from FCP so it's faster.
Nice!! That’s a good idea!!
why does my V key does not work (to disable the clip)??
You can also right click it & press “deactivate clip”!
@@EllevonEditing tried that as wel, but there’s no such option i could find to deactivate.but i think its because i am using the web version..i’ll try the desktop app version to check if its there..
❤😍
Doesn't work now.
Ugh I know! They just switched it 😫😫
unfortunately it isn't free any longer after using it a short while. Then you have to accept the PRO-version and pay for it.
I have been seeing this!! When I posted this in Jan it was free😫😫
This doesn't work anymore. CapCut auto captions are no longer free
I posted this when it was free and now it’s a paid feature! 😩😩 Ugh I’ll find a better way to do it & share!
Except that Capcut use terms are for personal use only...
You can still use this effect for personal projects!
This didn't work well for a song...even with the words prominent! Capture 6 words LOL!
LOL! Ive never tried it with music!! Interesting!!
Why don’t we just export it out of CapCut instead of exporting it and import it back into Final Cut Pro and then export it again. That’s a lot of exporting and importing
Yes, you can totally do that too if captions are your last step!!😂
@@EllevonEditing man too many steps, I can't believe am paying for final cut pro iPad version monthly and no auto caption. Though their editing design layout is in my opinion the easiest and most fluid.
Apple will you hurry up with the updates already,!
Capcut is exceptional for a free platform however the fluidity and sometimes it lacks the ease of use in comparison to Final cut (once again my opinion)
@@Ez8Ken It is really crazy that fcp has no auto caption! Final Cut IS the most intuitive overall. They just need AI! 😭
No longer free, requires Pro membership
I know😭😭 Back in Jan when I posted this it was free!!
It actually does not, because Auto Caption is a PRO Feature.
They just made it Pro last week😩😩
@@EllevonEditing Damn
Your intro is twice as loud as your voiceover - need to calibrate your loudness so the viewers don't have to adjust their volume during your video
I’ve been playing around with sound lately so thanks for the feedback!!
Better than having to pay for something from the Apple App Store.
Trueeeeee
@@EllevonEditingI almost did, but making automatic captions should honestly be free no matter your skillset.
Thank you for this!
Too little, too late. Apple is not focused on the needs of professional editors.
I wish they had this feature too😫 They need more AI infused effects pronto.
That's the reason why Davinci is gaining a lot of market!
Honestly true!!
Thank you so much! Super duper useful 🔥🙏
That makes me happy- I’m so glad!!!
Thank you very much !
You are sooo welcome!!💗
Thank you
Glad it helped!
