Export an XML
OPen it with a text editor
Use the Find Command to find the name of your Text Eg.
Replace with your desired font Eg.
Hit replace all

For Font size it’s a bit trickier, since the size is only indicated by a number and you don’t want to change other numbers that are related to your font size. You have to Copy and paste surrounding lines of code, basically a big chunk that indicates the font size. Replace it with the same big chunk of code but with a different font size value. I can’t get into detail about it here. you just gotta study the code a bit and understand what makes it tick. The same logic applies with the font style I pointed out above.

Import the XML back into Final Cut to see the result. I recommend doing a test first with only one hunk of text so you don’t get confused.

As stated above. I would export the XML and do a find and replace for the whole document.

What you are looking for is something like this:
(I had to change all the <> to [ ] in my example, since the forum interprets this as html :-))

[parameterid][fontsize[/parameterid]
[name]Size[/name]
[valuemin]0[/valuemin]
[valuemax]1000
