I just created titles in fcpx using basic title(control T) and want to export it as a file in a txt form. Could you please let me know how to? Thanks in advance!

You can't export text files from FCP. You'd have to copy/pate to something like Pages or Text Edit.

What Ben said.


A possible workaround is to export xml and then extract the title text from the xml. Not too difficult but only if you are comfortable with stuff like grep. Or do a little Python script (ok, not to difficult if you're a geek 😎)


For the future, if you plan on doing something like this again, you could use Captions instead of Titles. You can easily export an srt file from the captions in a FCP timeline.


pS: if you feel it's useful, I may try to create a little script to extract the text from an xml file.
