Been using this for over a year and it got better the whole time. No complaints really, works well for how it has to within the FCPX constraints
Do NOT Purchase This

I purchased this app after a Youtuber I trust raved about this app. Got it myself and hate it. The timing of the subtitles is almost never accurate. I end up spending about 30-45 additional minutes formatting the titles(changing size, splitting titles to follow the natural flow of speech, and timing the titles to match the spoken words.) Really slows down my workflow, especially when CapCut and Instagram’s auto captioning are timed perfectly. Waste of money. Don’t bother.
Buy at your own risk.

The app worked perfectly for a while, but stopped working after I updated to fcpx 12.3. The problem is….there’s absolutely no support available to get it working again. Buyer beware.
Bug Fixed 2.2.1: Multi-languages always assumed english, but it is now fixed to work correctly.
Final Cut Pro 12 Support
We've completely redesigned how Captionator works with Final Cut Pro to ensure reliable compatibility with FCP 11 and 12.
New Export Detection System
• Captionator now automatically watches your export folder and detects when Final Cut Pro finishes exporting
• No more waiting for events that never come; transcription starts as soon as your files are ready
• Three export modes to choose from:
• File Watcher (recommended) - Automatically detects completed exports
• Automatic - Uses FCP events (for older versions)
• Manual - Manually trigger transcription with a button
Improved Manual Export Window
• Completely redesigned interface for manually starting transcriptions
• Perfect for when you need more control over the process
Simplified Transcription Engine
WhisperCPP Removed
• We've removed the legacy WhisperCPP engine to streamline Captionator
• Whisper (WhisperMLX) is now the recommended engine for fast, accurate transcriptions
• Simpler settings, better performance, same great results
Getting Started
If you're upgrading from an earlier version, head to Settings to configure your preferred export mode. We recommend using the File Watcher option for the most reliable experience with modern versions of Final Cut Pro.
