    Drag in the FCPXML exported from Final Cut Pro.

FCPXML and CSV spreadsheet, explained

A spreadsheet of everything written on screen: that is what translation teams, subtitling vendors, and QC reviewers ask for, and what this converter produces from an FCPXML in one step. One row per title or caption, with start and end times — ready to add language columns, notes, or sign-off checkboxes. For subtitle files instead of spreadsheets, the FCPXML to SRT converter reads the same timeline.

Every title and caption in the FCPXML timeline as spreadsheet rows — timing and text in columns. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

FCPXML to CSV FAQ

What columns does the CSV have?

Start time, end time, and text — one row per title or caption, in timeline order.

Why CSV instead of SRT?

CSV is for humans and process — translation matrices, logging, QC sheets. SRT is for players and editors. The same extraction powers both converters.

Does it read .fcpxmld bundles?

Yes — both the flat .fcpxml file and the .fcpxmld bundle format work.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted on CutConvert’s servers, then handed straight back to you as a download. We never sell or share your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you’ll create an account and upgrade — which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you simply get that one file — no unnecessary ZIP.

Which formats are supported?

You can convert EDL to CSV; SRT and VTT subtitles to each other and to plain text; SRT, TXT, and DOCX/DOC transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON; SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT; and Premiere Pro .prtranscript exports to SRT, VTT, or text — with speaker labels preserved. More post-production formats are on the way.

Can I pick a frame rate?

Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
