Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro doesn't need any introduction as it's one of the best known and widely used NLE applications.

The dedicated Final Cut Pro export creates high-quality, fully anti-aliased images with alpha.

Image format

TIFF 32 bit, TIFF 32 bit LZW, PNG 32 bit

File name

The name of the special text script file, which contains the In- and Out-cues, image placement, subtitled material title and other information.

Image file prefix

The text value in this field together with the subsequent subtitle numbers forms individual image names.

In the above figure the image names will be: Sample_0001.PNG, Sample_0002.PNG and so on.

Script / Version

EZConvert supports two types of exports for Final Cut Pro: one dedicated to Final Cut Pro 7 (or earlier versions) and one to Final Cut Pro X, which can be selected from the Script drop-down menu.

The Version drop-down allows you select the exact script version for each of the two exports.

Recut / Offset by

Allows you to Recut/Offset the subtitles during the export. From the drop-down menu you can choose between the following options:

Manual - allows you manually specify video's timecode.

Auto - automatically sets the timecode according to the first subtitle's In-cue rounded down to the closes hour. For example, if the first subtitle originally starts at 01:00:32:21, video's timecode will be set to 01:00:00:00.

Programme Start TC - automatically subtracts the value of the Programme Start TimeCode metadata parameter if available in the input file. Note that this parameter is supported for EBU STL, EBU-TT, EZT or EZTXML file formats only.

Video Start TC - automatically gets video's start time from the input EZT or EZTXML file and uses it to recut/offset the subtitles.

Sequential Image Numbering

Images exported for Final Cut Pro have their in-cue in the name by default. Use this option to export images with regular numbers instead: 0001, 0002, 0003, etc.

Crop subtitle image to actual size

Images exported in this format must be full-size and the "crop" option is grayed-out.

Export Zero Subtitle

Switch it on if you want to export the zero subtitle.

Export uncompressed images

By default the script and image files will be exported in a .zip archive which is more convenient for a number of reason. If you need to export and use the images from a local folder, make sure to tick off this option instead.

Folder

Selects the output folder for the exported script and image files.

Additional options

Provides a few more options:

Preview Text Script - Displays a preview window with the exported script's body.

Preview images - Opens a preview window and shows how the image will look like.
