    Posted by Pratul Gaikwad on March 11, 2013 at 2:34 pm

    I have a ‘.mov’ file of the film and subtitles in ‘HTML’ format.
    Now i need to export the mov with the subtitles.

    How should i go about it?
    quick reply will be really appreciated.

    thanks.

    [Pratul gaikwad] ” subtitles in ‘HTML’ format.”

    What does that look like?

    You need to convert the subtitles into some sort of either text or graphic format.

    As text, you might be able to create text generators in Final Cut, and superimpose in the usual way, or depending on the HTML, convert that in a captioning/subtitling application like MacCaption and import either a QT movie or FCP XML onto a timeline and proceed as per usual.

    Or export a lot of graphic files — png or tiff or whatever works for you and composite those onto a timeline. Otherwise it is not likely there is a Quicktime Pro or DVD authoring-type of procedure that will magically produce a subtitle track.

    most likely Title Exchange Pro from Sherico Filmtools is the answer

    it would convert it to an XML you can import into FCP
