> As a fellow FCP editor, I wanted to share a tool I originally developed for myself to fix a major frustration in my workflow between Final Cut Pro and YouTube.
>
> Since it saved me so much time managing markers, I decided to polish it and share it for free with the entire community. Chapter Tool parses your FCPXML exports and instantly generates ready-to-paste YouTube timestamps, including automatic validation.
>
> It’s a native macOS app, lightweight and built for editors who regularly deal with long-form content. I hope it saves you some valuable time on your next project!
>
> I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments.

> To support the creative community and gather valuable feedback for my upcoming utilities, I've decided to make Chapter Tool available for free.
>
> It is a native macOS app, built with Swift 6 and fully notarized by Apple to ensure the highest security and performance. Download it today and take the hassle out of your delivery process.
