Hi Andreas, You can't put the text-style at the root (it'll not validate against the dtd) but you can define a single text-style for your subtitle in the first title element and then reference it using text-style-def element's id attribute. I'm pretty sure that's the default way that FCPX produces XML when you've got repeating styles for multiple titles. On May 23, 2014, at 2:59 AM, Andreas Kiel <kiel@spherico.com> wrote:

Hi all,

Maybe I'm to blind to see or to figure out the below.

Creating (sub)titles I do have the option to have a "<text-style ... /> " inside the "<text>" node and apply these styles ("<text-style-def id = XXX") to parts of the text. What I'm looking for is whether there is any option to define these "text-styles" at the "root level" like the "<effect>" or so. At the current state (of my knowledge) it isn't possible and does blow up XMLs with 1000 or 2000 or more subtitles to quite a good amount of non needed data and not needed references.

Any ideas or comments are highly appreciated.
