SRT-based paper editing for Final Cut Pro — now with Multitrack FCPXML support.
ScriptBlade turns your SRT into a rough cut timeline for Final Cut Pro — without touching a single clip manually.
Select the lines you want to keep, hide the rest, and export a trimmed FCPXML. Final Cut Pro opens it as a pre-cut timeline, ready to refine.
What You Can Do
-Build a paper edit from any SRT file
-Select, deselect, and hide unwanted sections
-Multi-select with ⌘ / Shift — or use Select All / Deselect All
-Export FCPXML and import directly into Final Cut Pro
-Supports Multicam, Sync Clip, and Compound Clip timelines •
-Import .fcpxmld packages exported from Final Cut Pro
-100% offline — all processing happens locally on your Mac.
-Nothing is uploaded or sent to any server.
How It Works
-Prepare an SRT file (generated with any external transcription tool)
-Select only the sections you want to keep
-Export → link your original FCPXML → generate → import into Final Cut Pro
