Easy way to export Text for proofingreading ?

Is there a way to export Titles / Title + (not subtitles) easily ?
XML, txt file, etc. for translation or review ?

No easy built-in function, but I'd imagine it should be possible via built-in scripting support and/or macro based automation eg AutoHotkey (Windows).

If not, the text field of any 'Text' titles (not 'Text+') can be parsed from an FCPXML (.fcpxml) export of a timeline.

Great flash for the XML. I'll look into it.

Can you explain how to parse the title text?
Resolve does not export titles when exporting FCPXML files.
FCP DOES export titles in the FCPXML file.

Hey Peter
As I wrote, Resolve DOES export the text field of 'Text' title instances (but not 'Text+') when exporting FCPXML file... or at least it does right here, right now, on my laptop. See below:

As for parsing the data, I'd probably write a script where, for every line beginning '<text-style ref="ts' it copied all text between the first '>' and the last '<' into an array.

Thanks Andy.

There was a bug in the timeline I was using to export the XML. All good now.
