FAQ

1. Start a task with the built-in "Quick Subtitles for Rough Cut" workflow template.
2. When the task finishes, open it and choose "Open in Subtitle Editor".
3. Do a visual rough cut in the Subtitle Editor, then export clipped audio or video from Export.

1. Run the built-in "Generate FCP Subtitles" workflow template.
2. When the task finishes, switch the drag mode in the output list to "FCPXML format".
3. Drag the FCPXML onto the Final Cut Pro timeline, then press ⌘⇧G to break it apart.

1. Open the Mew Cut extension in Final Cut Pro, select the "Generate FCP Subtitles" workflow, and drop in your audio.
2. Once the task finishes, drag the FCPXML onto the timeline and press ⌘⇧G to break it apart.

1. Speech recognition runs on your Mac, so a speech model has to be installed first.
2. Download it in Settings → Local Models. For multi-speaker recognition, download the speaker model too.

1. Standard recognition turns speech into subtitles without identifying who is speaking.
2. Multi-speaker recognition is for interviews and conversations. It tries to label different speakers. For solo voiceover, use standard recognition.

1. Online AI is required for subtitle validation, AI splitting, AI translation, and AI script preparation in Follow Script Recording.
2. These work offline: speech recognition, denoise, format conversion, audio extraction, compression, punctuation-based splitting, and local translation.

1. A scheme stores reusable settings for one step, such as an FCPXML style, recognition mode, or translation option.
2. A workflow chains multiple steps. Each step can use a scheme. Change a scheme, and every workflow that uses it gets the new settings.

Save the workflow in the main app first. The extension does not refresh on its own. After saving, click Refresh in the extension.

1. The extension runs inside Final Cut Pro, which keeps priority over the keyboard. Playback, navigation, and deletion shortcuts do not work in the extension's subtitle editor.
2. For those shortcuts, open the same result in the Subtitle Editor in the main app.

Open the task in Tasks, click Outputs to show finished files in the output list, or use Show in Finder.

1. Finished files stay. Temporary files from processing go to Trash.
2. You can turn this on or off in Settings → General, and choose how old completed tasks should be before cleanup.

1. Drag subtitle FCPXML files, audio, or video directly onto the Final Cut Pro timeline.
2. After dropping subtitles, press ⌘⇧G to break them apart, then keep editing.

1. These can go directly on the timeline: subtitle FCPXML, audio, and video.
2. SRT and script files can only be dragged as regular files. They will not become timeline subtitles or clips on their own.

1. Unstyled: easier to adjust font, position, and size in Final Cut Pro afterward. This is the default.
2. Styled: use when you already know the look and want it generated in one pass. These subtitles are harder to batch-edit in Final Cut Pro.

1. The FCPXML version usually does not match your version of Final Cut Pro.
2. Open the matching FCPXML scheme, set the Final Cut Pro version to the one you are using, then convert again.

1. Double-click the FCPXML file, or choose Import XML in Final Cut Pro.
2. Open the imported subtitle project and select all subtitles (⌘A).
3. Move the playhead to where subtitles should start in your target project.
4. Paste (⌘V).
5. If the file came from the extension, you can also drag it to the timeline and press ⌘⇧G to break it apart.

1. Follow Script Recording saves the audio first. Subtitles are recognized in the background and appear when ready. Recording and export still work if recognition does not produce subtitles.
2. If you still need subtitles, run speech recognition or a workflow on the recording afterward.

1. It marks sections with no speech so you can select and remove pauses or silence on the timeline.
2. It does not generate subtitles. It only helps with rough cutting.

When the task is completed and its main output is an SRT subtitle file, you can open it in the Subtitle Editor from Tasks.

The original file is not modified. The preview in the editor is for editing only. Exported clipped audio or video is cut from the original source.

1. Open Follow Script Recording, paste your script, or drop a txt file.
2. Record group by group: click Record, then Next Group when finished.
3. Redo any group you don't like. Each recording appears on the timeline below.
4. When you're done, preview and arrange on the timeline, or export the audio.
5. For subtitles, use More Actions → Speech Recognition, or send the result through a workflow into the Subtitle Editor.

1. Drop in subtitles with matching audio or video, or open from a completed task.
2. Edit text and adjust timing in the Subtitle Editor.
3. To remove pauses, silence, or misreads: choose Quick Actions → Find Cut Ranges, then delete the marked sections.
4. When you're done, choose Export → Export Clipped Audio or Export Clipped Video.

1. Each group in the sidebar can be expanded to show the subtitle, audio, video, and script files already attached.
2. Drop missing audio, video, or a script txt onto that group to attach it. You can then keep editing against the new media on the timeline. An existing file of the same type is not replaced.
3. Drop an SRT onto empty space in the sidebar to create a new group. Audio, video, and scripts need to be dropped onto an existing subtitle group.

1. The main app is better for working across multiple groups. The sidebar can switch subtitle groups, search and replace, and attach missing audio, video, or a script. Keyboard shortcuts work, and export writes finished files on disk.
2. In the extension, you edit the current task's result and can drag subtitles or clipped segments back onto the Final Cut Pro timeline. Final Cut Pro keeps priority over the keyboard, so playback and editing shortcuts are unavailable there.
3. For full shortcuts, multiple groups, or attaching extra media, open the same result in the Subtitle Editor in the main app.
