XML based app to import subtitles into FCPX

[Joseph Devenney]

Hi all,
I am trying to import subtitles into FCPX 10.2.3. I am using XTI 1.8.5.1 to convert my “.stl” into a “FCPXML” file that I can import into my Library. I exported an FCPXML file containing only an empty text generator and using this, successfully converted the “.stl” file into a FCPXML file.

The problem is that FCPX will not import the new FCPXML file.
It comes up with the following error.
“DTD validation failed. (ID ts 1 already defined)”

After this I tried importing the FCPXML into DavinciResolve and it did import, although the text did not have a subtitle box and was placed in the middle of the screed rather than the lower third.

If anyone could help me figure out where I went wrong or how I can fix the FCPXML, it would be much appriciated.

Thank you,
Joseph
