• Adjust a caption’s duration: Drag its start point or end point. See Arrange and trim
caption clips in the timeline.
You can also use powerful trimming techniques with caption clips. See Cut clips in
two in Final Cut Pro and Extend or shorten clips in Final Cut Pro.
• Adjust a caption’s sync with the clip it’s connected to: Drag the caption left or right
in the timeline. (When you drag a caption clip, it overwrites adjacent captions.)
Import captions into Final Cut Pro
You can import CEA-608, iTT, or SRT caption files directly into your project. Each
caption has text content and formatting information, as well as start and end times that
Final Cut Pro uses to place the caption at the correct point in the timeline.
You can also import source media files that have embedded CEA-608 captions and then
extract the captions for use in your Final Cut Pro project.
