Show HN: TitleBridge - A FinalCut Workflow Plugin

[_morph3ous]

I’m working at getting back into video editing. Lots of short-form videos have the captions on them. There was a video I wanted to do that for too.

I did some research and the workflow was annoying. Export captions from Final Cut, import them into a website, export FCPXML from the website, import the FCPXML into Final Cut, open the imported project, select all the titles, go back to your original project, paste the titles.

This was too annoying, so I did some research and created a little Final Cut workflow plugin. It is all drag and drop.

The workflow becomes drag project onto the plugin, drag caption titles from plugin to your project’s timeline.

I hope this little project is useful to others as well.

This is something I’ve been trying to find for years at this point and I’ve tried all the competitors. LOVE how you’ve designed the workflow.

One question: any chance it can accept existing SRT files? This looks perfect for quick and smaller projects but I also have a pretty good workflow for longer more spelling-specific stuff involving MacWhisper outputting an SRT. Would love to be able to drop in an SRT (if not already possible).

One other note: does it require 15.4? I’m there on my laptop but desktop still on 15.1. Would love to use without updating but if 15.4 is required I understand.

Either way TREMENDOUS work. Just the kind of plugin I’ve been hoping to see for FCPX. Thank you.

Thank you! Right now it is parsing the Final Cut data directly. I may be able to, in the future, add srt support. Right now I am working on adding the ability to select different styles of titles, and the ability to specify how many characters per line and have it split at word boundaries.

I have not tested on anything below 15.4, but it is very likely it would still work.
