How to get captions if you accidentally imported a clip from FCPX

Export an SRT subtitle file and then import that to FCPX

Jan 23, 2022

If you imported an FCP clip and wanted to get a captions/titles file know that FCP can only caption/title FCPX projects, not clips.

Importing clips will get you FCP ranges.

The workaround is to export an SRT subtitle file and then import that to FCP via File/Import/Captions menu.
