Join caption clips in the timeline
You can combine multiple captions in the timeline into one caption.
1. In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select two or more adjacent caption clips.
2. Do one of the following:
Choose Edit > Captions > Join Captions.
Control-click the captions you want to join, then choose Join Captions.
The selected caption clips are replaced with a single caption clip that contains the text
from the selected captions.
Resolve caption overlaps in the timeline
In most cases, overlapping captions in the same language subrole causes an error. If you
accidentally overlap captions, the overlapping caption clips turn red in the timeline, and
error messages appear in the inspector and the Captions pane of the timeline index. You
can fix this problem with the Resolve Overlaps command.
Note: Its OK to overlap iTT captions that are set to Japanese and formatted to appear in
different areas of the screen.
