* Important Note*: The subtitle added with above steps in FCPX is hard-burned to your video, which means the subtitle always appears on your video on the lower third and cannot be turned off. To add subtitle as a separate track which can be turn on/off by media players, please refer this guide -  Creating and Adding Subtitles to Videos.
