I’m working at getting back into video editing. Lots of short-form videos have the captions on them. There was a video I wanted to do that for too.

I did some research and the workflow was annoying. Export captions from Final Cut, import them into a website, export FCPXML from the website, import the FCPXML into Final Cut, open the imported project, select all the titles, go back to your original project, paste the titles.

This was too annoying, so I did some research and created a little Final Cut workflow plugin. It is all drag and drop.

The workflow becomes drag project onto the plugin, drag caption titles from plugin to your project’s timeline.

I hope this little project is useful to others as well.

My elderly neighbor who is an accomplished engineer and has been using Linux for ages recently upgraded his distro. I think he is using Ubuntu or Fedora. Now whenever he prints pages every line of text has a line through it.

He has been able to verify that it is not his printer. He has tried a Live CD as well and is having the same issue. When he goes back to the old version things print fine.

He surmises it is some sort of diagnostic feature in CUPS or some other part of the printing subsystem that is improperly turned on by default.

Has anyone seen this before? I am not a Linux expert, but I would like to help him out.
