For certain languages with vertical writing, the iTT format allows vertical text on the left
and right margins, as well as up to four regions of text on the screen at the same time
(top, bottom, left, and right).
At the bottom of the Caption inspector, you can view information about the selected
caption or captions:
• Timing: Displays start and end times and duration if you selected a single caption.
• Validation: Displays an error message if the selection does not conform to the
specifications of the iTT caption format, or displays a green checkmark if no problems
are detected.
Format the text in SRT captions
Important: Because of the absence of text formatting specifications in the SRT standard,
any formatting style (such as bold, italic, or underline) that you apply to SRT captions in
Final Cut Pro may not appear correctly in your intended player or playback device. For this
reason, you can choose to remove all text formatting from SRT captions when you export
or share them. See
Export captions with Final Cut Pro.

• Click the Inspector button on the right side of the toolbar.
