Getting an FCP X XML from a title stream…
OK,
I have a 23 minute film with subtitles in FCP X.
I want an XML or EDL of just the title locations to pass on for the ONLINE.
Any takers on the best, most efficient way to accomplish this?

SOLUTION:
Copy all of the text from the FCP X Timeline.
create a new project
paste it into the new project and set the first title to match the TC from where you pasted.
Export FCP X XML
Convert in FCP X to 7
Open in FCP 7
Surprisingly all of the text is there as well. Cool!

Some other solutions.
If you got “pre-rendered” titles use EDL-X
https://xmil.biz/EDL-X/EDL-X.shtmlWith standard “typed-in” titles you can use my XTE to convert a FXCPXML to STL. It comes as free app with my TitleExchange.

Anreas,
I should have added that I did use your tool. Title exchange and was able to open these files in Jubler as well.David

Okay,
But the workflow you described has “too many” steps 😉
Here what would be mine.
Export the whole project as FXPXML.
Open the XML with XTE and save.
Open the saved STL in Jubler.It’s just a few seconds.
With XTE you also can control subs by their role. This makes it easy to control different languages. Also time collisions are handled.-Andreas

You are right. This is much smarter and faster and much more what I would expect from FCPX xml files.
I think I have been so beaten down at doing workarounds theis past year that I forget to check if there is an elegant solution that works with FCP X and yours works perfectly.
I could have saved a bunch of time using this very professional and efficient tool.
Thanks for the heads up!
David
