  • FCPX centered iTT captions shift way to the left when played back on youtube

    Posted by Nick Natteau on May 12, 2019 at 6:23 pm

    All of my iTT captions are properly centered in Final Cut Pro X and remain so when I export my videos as master files.
    But as soon as i upload them to Youtube, many of those captions are no longer properly centered but instead display all the way to the left. Has anyone encountered this issue? I’ve been unable to solve this problem.

    This issue was already reported on the Apple FCPx forum.
    Seems to be a YouTube thing, use SRT.

    Hi Spherico,

    Thanks very much for your help. I just realized that after going back to that link you posted. From now on I’ll stick to SRT. I had no placement issues with the SRT format, all subtitles were properly centered. It’s also a much simpler text file to look at, showing just the subtitles with timecode and nothing else.

    Not sure if you encountered this too, but Chrome wouldn’t let me upload any subtitle format to my youtube channel. It just didn’t respond. After clicking “upload” the window wouldn’t close:

    No problems uploading with Safari though. Thanks again for all your help.

    Hello Nick,

    Since yesterday my internet connection is fast and stable enough to upload little things to YouTube.
    I tested both iTT from FCP and VTT from my X-Title – all works fine and as expected.

    So you problem seems to be somewhere else.
