FCPXML and CSV spreadsheet, explained

Translation teams, subtitling vendors and QC reviewers ask for a spreadsheet of everything written on screen. This converter makes one from an FCPXML in one step. Each title or caption gets a row with start and end times. You can 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, with one row per title or caption in timeline order.

Why CSV instead of SRT?

CSV is for people and process, such as translation matrices, logging and QC sheets. SRT is for players and editors. Both converters use the same extraction.

Does it read .fcpxmld bundles?

Yes. Both the flat .fcpxml file and the .fcpxmld bundle format work.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

In your browser. The file never leaves your computer, and CutConvert only records that a conversion happened. We never see, store, sell or share your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Files up to about an hour of footage convert free on every converter. CapCut projects are free up to 500 KB. Guests get five conversions a month; a free account has no monthly cap within the free size caps. Bigger files are $3 each, or $5 for a project conversion from one program to another. Pro is $9 a month ($90 a year) for files up to 50 MB. Studio is $19 a month ($190 a year) for files up to 500 MB.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

One ZIP with every converted file. A single file comes back on its own. Press + to add more output formats: they go in the same ZIP, and each file still counts as one conversion.
