🎬 FCPXML Auto Edit — a Final Cut Pro timeline from a simple plan

Making Shorts, Reels or TikToks in Final Cut Pro? Laying out clips and typing every subtitle by hand takes the longest.

Describe the edit in a small JSON plan — get a ready-made FCPXML timeline. Import it into Final Cut Pro (File › Import › XML) and your clips, narration, BGM, subtitles and title cards are already in place. Then polish and export.

What goes into the timeline

  • 🖼️ Clips (images or videos) one after another, or at exact times
  • 🎙️ Narration and 🎵 BGM on their own lanes, with volume
  • 💬 Subtitles — give exact times, or just a script with seconds per line
  • ✨ Title cards in ready-made styles: gold, silver, number (yellow), url (pink), sub (white), and an optional #PR mark for sponsored posts
  • 📐 Any size: vertical 1080×1920 (default), 1920×1080, square … at 24/25/30/50/60 fps; clips of another size or frame rate are handled too (w, h, fps)

The title styles come from a real channel's editing rules: bold outlined Japanese-friendly fonts (Hiragino) that stay readable on a phone screen.

Input

{
"plan": {
"title": "Shop opening",
"width": 1080, "height": 1920, "fps": 30,
"media": [{"file": "shot1.png", "duration": 4}, {"file": "shot2.mp4", "duration": 6, "keep_audio": true}],
"narration": {"file": "voice.wav", "volume_db": 3},
"bgm": {"file": "music.m4a", "volume_db": -18},
"site_url": "https://example.com",
"script": [{"text": "Welcome to our shop!", "seconds": 4}, {"text": "New items every day", "seconds": 6}],
"decos": [{"start": 0, "end": 4, "text": "GRAND OPEN", "style": "gold", "y": 30}],
"pr": true
},
"mediaFolder": "/Users/you/Movies/shop-opening"
}

mediaFolder is the folder on your Mac where the files are. Final Cut Pro then links them on import. Leave it empty and relink in Final Cut Pro instead.

Output

A downloadable .fcpxml file (link in the results) plus a summary: size, length, number of clips, subtitles and titles.

Notes

  • Your media files are never uploaded — the timeline only refers to them by name.
  • Writes FCPXML version 1.14 and is checked against Apple's FCPXML 1.14 definition (DTD); it needs a recent Final Cut Pro that reads that version.
  • If the plan has a mistake, you get a clear message and are not charged.

Pricing

Pay per timeline built (see the Pricing tab). Apart from Apify's standard start fee, there is no per-run charge.
