Malibu Burn overlays source timecode, clip name, reel, and camera frame-accurately over your Final Cut Pro timeline — live, as an FxPlug title. Works with standard, unmodified Final Cut Pro.
FxPlug 4 title · Reads FCP libraries read-only · No modified FCP required
Drop the Malibu Burn title onto your timeline like any other FCP title.
The Malibu Burn Host reads your .fcpbundle SQLite files in read-only mode — no injection, no private APIs.
Timecode, clip name, reel, and camera are looked up per-clip and passed to the title via XPC.
The overlay tracks every cut and retime automatically — no manual re-syncing.
Standard, unmodified Final Cut Pro from the Mac App Store — no code injection, no dylib loading, no private APIs.
Source timecode burned in per clip, tracking every cut and retime automatically.
Overlay the clip's real name and reel straight from FCP's own metadata.
Show which camera shot a given clip, useful for multicam and dailies review.
No modified Final Cut Pro required — works with the version from the Mac App Store.
Reads FCP's SQLite library files in immutable mode — never writes to your project.
No FCPXML round-trip — the overlay updates as you edit.
Other burn-in tools need an FCPXML export first. Malibu Burn overlays live in the timeline.
No patched app, no injected code — just standard Final Cut Pro plus an FxPlug title.
Re-cut, retime, reorder — the burned-in metadata follows automatically.
Never modifies your FCP library, only reads from it.
