Scripts & subtitles ​

If your video has been transcribed (automatically, or because you imported a video with captions), you can export the transcript as a script and as a standard subtitle file.

Transcript and subtitle exports are free on every plan. The option only appears when a transcript is available for the video. The gated export is the Spreadsheet / Shot List.

How do I export a script? ​

  1. Press X to open the Export view.
  2. Set your destination folder.
  3. Toggle Transcript & Subtitles on. (You'll only see this option when a transcript is available.)
  4. Tick the formats you want — SRT, WebVTT, plain text, CSV, Fountain. At least one is required.
  5. Click Add to Queue.

What does the script look like? ​

The script is a plain-text file that lists the spoken dialogue and on-screen text along with timecodes. It's not a Final Draft script — it's a readable reference of what's said and when.

A typical entry:

[00:00:05.300] So I thought to myself, what if shaving was simpler?
[00:00:09.100] Just one blade. Just one handle. Just one price.

What does the SRT subtitle file look like? ​

Standard SRT format. You can drop it onto any video editor, YouTube upload, or media player that supports subtitles.

00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:09,100
So I thought to myself, what if shaving was simpler?

2
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,400
Just one blade. Just one handle. Just one price.

When isn't this option available? ​

The toggle only offers itself once a completed transcript exists for the video. Transcripts are generated automatically for many supported sources — if you're missing one, contact support and we can investigate.

Can I edit the transcript before exporting? ​

Yes. Open the Transcript tab (R), correct the text, and fix the speakers — see Transcription. What you export is what you corrected.

Does the script include speaker names? ​

Yes, once the video has more than one speaker and Identify speakers was on for the run. Renaming a speaker changes the name in every export. See Identify speakers.

What else can I export the transcript as? ​

CSV and Fountain, alongside SRT, WebVTT and plain text. See Searching & exporting a transcript for what each is for.
