Final Cut Pro Import

Captions Don't Sync with Video

Frame Rate Mismatch

Most common cause. Your FCP project and export must use the same frame rate.

Solutions:

1. Check your FCP project frame rate (File > Project Properties)
2. Re-export from Capti with matching frame rate
3. Common frame rates: 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30

Starting Position

Captions export starting at 00:00:00:00 (zero timecode).

Solutions:

1. Place playhead at start of your timeline before pasting
2. If video starts later, manually adjust caption position
3. Select all captions (Cmd+A) and drag to correct position

Timecode Issues

Solutions:

1. Verify timecode format matches (Drop Frame vs Non-Drop Frame)
2. Check timecode start in both Capti and FCP
3. Use relative positioning for easier alignment
