How to convert FCPXML to SRT
Convert FCPXML to SRT online. CutConvert reads the Final Cut Pro timeline in your .fcpxml and pulls out every title and caption with its exact offset and duration. It writes them as numbered SRT subtitles.
Export the FCPXML
In Final Cut Pro, select the project and choose File > Export XML. In Resolve, use File > Export > Timeline. Any recent FCPXML version works.
Convert FCPXML to SRT
Drop the .fcpxml on the converter. It reads titles and captions with FCPXML's offset rules, including the sequence's start timecode.

FCPXML timeline and SRT subtitles, explained
Subtitles built as titles in Final Cut Pro stay locked in the timeline. YouTube, players and translation workflows want SRT. This converter reads the FCPXML export and finds each title's real position. Offsets are relative to containers and to the sequence start timecode, which is why naive extraction lands an hour off. The output is standard SRT.
Extract the titles and captions from a Final Cut Pro FCPXML timeline as timed SRT subtitles. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.
FCPXML to SRT FAQ
Does it read titles, captions, or both?
Both. It extracts Basic Titles, other title effects with text, and caption elements with their timing. It skips empty placeholders.
Why do other tools put my subtitles an hour late?
FCP timelines often start at 01:00:00:00, and FCPXML title offsets are relative to their containers, not absolute. This converter resolves the offset chain and subtracts the sequence's start timecode. The first cue lands where it should.
Which FCPXML versions are supported?
FCPXML 1.6 through 1.11 share the structure this converter reads: resources, sequences, spines, titles, captions and rational times. Exports from any recent FCP or Resolve version work.
Will multi-line titles keep their line breaks?
Yes. The converter reads the text exactly as stored in the title, line breaks included, and writes it into the SRT cue.
Can I convert several timelines at once?
Yes. Drop a batch of .fcpxml files and download one ZIP of SRTs. Guests get 5 conversions a month, up to 2 MB per file. A free account has no monthly cap within the free size caps and converts up to 100 files per batch. Pro is $9 a month for 100 conversions of files up to 50 MB.

Questions, answered
Where are my files processed?
In your browser. The file never leaves your computer, and CutConvert only records that a conversion happened. We never see, store, sell or share your media.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Files up to about an hour of footage convert free on every converter. CapCut projects are free up to 500 KB. Guests get five conversions a month; a free account has no monthly cap within the free size caps. Bigger files are $3 each, or $5 for a project conversion from one program to another. Pro is $9 a month ($90 a year) for files up to 50 MB. Studio is $19 a month ($190 a year) for files up to 500 MB.
What do I get when I convert multiple files?
One ZIP with every converted file. A single file comes back on its own. Press + to add more output formats: they go in the same ZIP, and each file still counts as one conversion.
Which formats are supported?
Projects in: Premiere .prproj, DaVinci Resolve .drp, Avid AAF and bins, Final Cut FCPXML, CapCut drafts and Audition sessions. Projects out: FCP7 XML, FCPXML, Resolve .drp, AAF, CapCut and REAPER, plus CMX 3600 EDL and shot-list CSV. Transitions, markers, titles, keyframes, levels, speed changes and nested sequences carry over wherever the target app can hold them. Captions: SRT, WebVTT, SBV, ASS, TTML, DFXP, iTT, SCC, MCC, EBU-STL, Avid caption TXT, timed CSV, Word and plain text. Transcripts: Whisper, WhisperX, AssemblyAI, Deepgram, Rev.ai and CapCut JSON, Premiere transcript JSON and .prtranscript, and Rev, Otter and Word-style text. Styling, placement and speakers come along where the output supports them.
Can I pick a frame rate?
Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output, choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30 fps, or let CutConvert detect it from your source.
