Thanks for producing this video. Is there a way to customize the subtitles and change the font and font size in Final Cut Pro X without using an external or additional app?
Hi there, could you tell me how to change the speed of the movement from a title preset provided by Final Cut ? Like the one you use in blue at 0:23 for instance. I want to modify the lenght of the transition to make it appear more slowly. Thank you for your help
Captions formatting cannot be adjusted because they follow accessibility guidelines. You would need to create burnt-in captions with Titles if you would like an adjustable caption.
Captions have limited formatting options, the size of the subtitles would not be able to be changed. You would have to use Titles to create the captions if you want to edit the style and or size.
Thank you for this tutorial, can you please tell me which of the choices is for subtitles and not captions. I want the subtitles “burnt in.” Always there. I had found someone who gave away these subtitles text layers that were wonderful and easy to use. When I upgraded to a new computer, I lost them in the process. Please help me!
If your subtitles are in the CEA-608 format, you can embed them directly in the output media file. You can also export or embed subtitles using Final Cut Pro share destinations that include include an option to burn them so that they’re permanently visible.
These cannot be converted, but you can potentially copy and paste the title text into a document, then copy and paste sections of that text into FCP when you're creating captions.
Hi! I created a subtitle template, and copied it and pasted on timeline to add another subtitle. And When I copy the texts from MS word and paste them on that template the texts shrinks (on FCPX)...can you please kindly advice?
It might be that you have too many words applied to the subtitle there fore the text is smaller to accommodate the amount you have written. You may want to break it up, or try and see if typing it manually solves the issue in case it is a formatting conflict.
The background cannot be removed on subtitles. They are not customizable because they need to meet certain requirements in order to remain readable for everyone. If you want plain text with no background you would just use a regular title preset to write and customize your subtitles.
My CEA captioning shows in the middle and doesn't go anywhere near the bottom of the screen when creating in vertical format, even when I press the down arrow to try to move it down to the bottom of the screen. Why?
Hi ! I can't change the position of the ITT captions that I have added to a project already. I just want to move it a bit above than the default position.. :\
Hi Faith! The ITT format has the options to change the position of the captions from the bottom of the screen to the top but no further. If you want the option to tweak the positioning more carefully we recommend using the CEA-608 captions instead.
Apologies Theresa, FCP does not offer the option to change the font for captioning however CEA-608 captions will give you tons of options on altering the placement, the formatting, the color, and background color of the captions.
Hi Anne! When you first select Edit, then Captions, you'll be able to select the type of caption in your timeline before beginning to edit your caption. All you have to do is select the dropdown arrow next to the language and it'll give you the option to switch.
@@pixelfilmstudios are there any other caption types I could order from rev.com that would allow me to change font and size and have more control? otherwise it would make lyric videos extremely challenging
@@dsha2006 Captions are not ideal for lyric video. You would be better off using Titles, or our plugin FCPX Lyric Templates, which was made for Lyric videos! 😉 store.pixelfilmstudios.com/product/fcpx-lyric-templates/
@@pixelfilmstudios that's cool. but I would have to manually type and time the lyrics then right? For every phase, I would have to type it out and drag over the applicable part of the song? Or, is there any way to have my captions from rev which are already timed be converted to titles somehow and then use your templates to stylize it? I'm trying to reduce time build lyric videos. And, I really only need them for about a 1 min snipett of the song with only the cover art showing. Distrokid and musixmatch have a cool way to sync your written lyrics to the beat and then send them to IG for use on the create mode (music sticker). something like that...that I could apply over my videos would be great.
@@dsha2006 Yes you would have to do type and apply the lyric templates over the clip to match whatever suits your needs. It's pretty simply however as you would just have to drag the title to be as long as you want and edit the text as you desire.
Hello! 🙂 Final Cut Pro's built in captions do not have the option to change the font. You would need to convert the captions to Titles to be able to do so.
I love how easy you can personalize the captions. 🙌🙌🙌💛 Thank you PFS~ 💪

how can I change the position of the SRT-Captions? it's available? they're so low on the screen that I can't see them very well
The position, font, color, etc. of SRT captions are not editable as they are formatted for accessibility.
Great info. For a food recipe video, do you think it would be better to use a letterbox format so as to not hide the content as much?
It's up to your personal preference Carlos, whatever you feel works best for your project! 👍
Thanks for producing this video. Is there a way to customize the subtitles and change the font and font size in Final Cut Pro X without using an external or additional app?
It is not possible to customize subtitles font or size.
Thanks bro
Welcome bro 😎👍
Thanks for this great video. Question: is it not possible to set the caption font?
You cannot change the font of the captions.
@@pixelfilmstudios wowwwwww that is ridiculous, right? I am a total FCP noob thinking I was doing something wrong but thanks for clarifying.
Thank you! Is there also a transparent option for SRT files or do they always come with a black backround?
For clarity and readability, SRT captions will always come with the background.
Thanks! Can I remove the black background of the SRT-Captions?
Hi Pete! That we know of you cannot remove the black background of the SRT-Captions built into Final Cut Pro.

What is the alternative to change the position and size of the of captions in ITT or SRT formats ?
The editability of the captions is limited due to readability requirements for captions. You may not be able to edit the size or position.
How to adjust the font size? It’s smaller 😢
Captions formatting cannot be adjusted because they follow accessibility guidelines. You would need to create burnt-in captions with Titles if you would like an adjustable caption.

hello , can I change the shrift of the subs because the subs are in very bad pixels , thanks.
You may need to reach out to FCPX support as this sounds like an issue with your program or your project. Did you try a fresh project?

@@pixelfilmstudios Great! Thank you very much!
If I have regular text boxes, can I move those/covert them to the subtitles section of the timeline?
These cannot be converted, but you can potentially copy and paste the title text into a document, then copy and paste sections of that text into FCP when you're creating captions.

Is it possible to change the font using the CEA 608 format?
Hello! Sorry CalBarrier, LLC the CEA 608 format does not have the option available to change font.
is there anyway we can change the font?
Apologies Theresa, FCP does not offer the option to change the font for captioning however CEA-608 captions will give you tons of options on altering the placement, the formatting, the color, and background color of the captions.
I'm confused about how to make the caption an CEA608 vs. an srt. to begin with.
Hi Anne! When you first select Edit, then Captions, you'll be able to select the type of caption in your timeline before beginning to edit your caption. All you have to do is select the dropdown arrow next to the language and it'll give you the option to switch.
with srt, can I change the font? I thought I could in premiere
Apologies this is not an option within FCPX for their captions.
