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

EZTitles 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:

None - doesn't recut or offset the subtitles and they will be exported with their original timing.

Manual - allows you manually specify the offset for the recut.

Auto - automatically offsets the timing using the first subtitle's In-cue. All timecodes are offset backward with the first subtitle's In-cue rounded down to the closes hour. For example if the first subtitle originally starts at 10:00:32:21 after applying the recut it's start time will become 00:00:32:21.

Programme Start TC - automatically subtracts the value of the Programme Start TimeCode parameter saved in the Details. Programme Start TC can be selected from Video/Setup Timecode with a video opened in.

Video Start TC - automatically gets video's start time as specified in Video/Setup Timecode. This option can be used only when a video is loaded in.

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.
