Color coding makes it easy to identify different types of content, with the ability to customize the look of your timeline while you edit. Advanced color grading. Every pixel closer to perfection. Professional color grading tools are built into Final Cut Pro, including a dedicated color inspector with color wheels, color curves, hue/saturation curves, and keyframes to adjust corrections over time. Open the Comparison Viewer to see reference images while grading, and apply camera and creative Look Up Tables (LUTs) for a consistent appearance across your project. All color correction tools and scopes support High Dynamic Range (HDR) video. Step up from iMovie to Final Cut Pro.

You’ll cut faster and more precisely with advanced editing tools, improve the look of your projects with third-party plug-ins, and find it easy to integrate video recorded with professional cameras from RED, Sony, Canon, and more. You can import your iMovie projects right into Final Cut Pro, so you won’t miss a beat — or a cut — when you upgrade.
Captions are visual lines of text that are synced with a video. Captions are used primarily for closed captioning for the hearing impaired. Captions can also be used for subtitles, karaoke, scrolling news items, and teleprompters. Government regulators, broadcasters, and streaming services often have specific requirements for closed captions and subtitles. In Final Cut Pro X, you can right in the timeline, or you can. After you’ve added the captions, you can adjust and arrange them in the timeline, as well as format the text.
Using Final Cut Pro or Compressor, you can then share your project with captions embedded directly in the video file, or as separate files. When you’re creating captions for your project in Final Cut Pro, choose the format that best fits your delivery requirements before you start captioning. For broadcast, web streaming, DVD, or Blu-ray, use CEA-608 (also known as CTA-608 and EIA0608).
CEA-608 provides limited text formatting options, and limited support for languages with non-Roman characters. You can export captions in projects using the CEA-608 format embedded in the media file, or as a separate file. For delivery to the iTunes Store, YouTube, and Vimeo, use iTT.
The iTT format is designed to deliver captioned media to the iTunes Store. ITT supports more text formatting options and a larger range of languages, which makes it more suited for subtitling than CEA-608. For posting videos to social websites like Facebook, YouTube, or Vimeo, use SRT. In SRT, each caption has a number, a start, and end timecode, and one or more lines of text with HTML tags. SRT provides limited text formatting options. In Final Cut Pro X, captions are assigned special caption roles. To add a caption role, choose Modify Edit Roles.
If you just want to add captions in the language your Mac is currently set to, click Apply. Final Cut Pro adds caption roles to the library your project is in. If you want to create captions in other languages, create a subrole for each language. You can, or import translated captions into those subroles. Position the playhead where you want the caption, then choose Edit Captions Add Captions (or press Option–C).
Final Cut Pro places a caption clip in the caption lane, and the caption editor opens in the timeline. Type text into the caption editor.
You can also add, edit, and navigate between captions:. To add another caption, position the playhead, then press Option–C.
To edit an existing caption, double-click the caption in the timeline, then make your changes in the caption editor. To navigate between captions, click the left or right arrow in the caption editor, or press Command–Left Arrow or Command–Right Arrow. Final Cut Pro X and Compressor automatically check your captions for errors as you create them. In Final Cut Pro, captions with errors appear red in the timeline.
An explanation of what's causing the error and possible solutions appear in the Caption inspector. After you add a caption, you can adjust the amount of time a caption appears on screen, and its position in the timeline.
To adjust the duration of a caption, drag the start or end point of the caption clip in the timeline. To adjust a caption clip’s position, click and drag a caption clip left or right.
You can also adjust a caption's position. Try to avoid overlapping captions. When captions overlap, they turn red in the timeline, and error messages appear in the Caption inspector. To share your project, you’ll need to resolve any caption overlaps.
Choose Edit Captions Resolve Overlaps. After you arrange all the captions in the primary language, you can duplicate the finished set of captions.
Then, you can translate the duplicated sets of captions right in the Final Cut Pro timeline. Click one of the caption clips, the press Command–A to select all captions. Choose Edit Captions Duplicate Captions to New Language, then choose a language. A new set of duplicated captions appears in the timeline, and a sub-role is created for the new language. If you want to enter caption text in a language that requires special characters, choose the language from the Input menu in the menu bar, then enter text in that language in the captions editor. To change the language that appears in the viewer:.
