Dylan Bates (Final Cut Bro) just released the perfect plugin for you. He’s already updated it a few times in the past week with some fixes and user suggestions. Bonus, it’s also on sale right now.

I’ve been using a smattering of free and paid plugins that never quite did everything I needed. This one plugin now covers 90% of my needs.

Been using this trick for years. As long as you encoded the .mov with the h.264 codec it should work.

You can upgrade to their hardware based systems depending on how many streams you need to record. I use it mainly for live editing in FCP. Once the stream starts you can start editing in FCP after about 3-4 seconds.

More than likely he told him what the procedure is for exporting subtitles as Open Caption titles. It’s basically the same as closed captions with the exception of one check box.

The first step is to Share/Master File. In the Settings choose your codec (ProRes or H.264). In the Roles tab pick your Roles. Click the blue icon that says “…

Reply to Re-edits based on client timecode notes.

For future edits you may want to consider using Frame.io. You can have clients type notes into your uploaded video on the Frame.io site. You then download those comments directly into FCP as a connected clip. You can then break down that connected clip and have the notes flow down directly as connected comments. Those comments will stick with…
