I am using quicktime to view the video and under "subtitles" it says none even though I typed in all the captions.
macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
FCP creates closed captions not open captions or subtitles. Look here to see how to convert.
As Tom wrote: what format are your captions - the ones you want to embed.
They must be CEA-608 to appear in the resulting file. The ones in your screenshot have too many characters to be valid CEA-608!
As they are not "flagged red" they seem to be iTT - those can't be embedded.

Closed captions is what I want. When I choose the settings in the closed captioning like the video (Apple ProRes), the file goes from 354 Mb to 10.7 Gb! Is that necessary to include closed captioning? Seriously, Apple needs to look at what Camtasia does. It's very limited, but this kind of stuff is easy.
No, it is not the closed captions that are increasing the size.
It is the fact that you are exporting as ProRes. Export a master file, in Settings choose H264, and in Roles choose to export Closed Captions if you want to.
In addition to what Tom said: in Quicktime Player, if you want to see the closed captions, press the button marked red in this picture:
What format closed caption is this? What's the export format?
Thanks, but that button is not there. You can see my screenshot has the FCP X editor up with captions and the in the upper right corner the resultant exported video sans captions (or caption button).

I typed in all my close captions but they do not show up in the exported video.
