A working sandbox. No sign-up, no project. Sample data only.
- FCPXML for Premiere and Avid, with media references and per-subclip markers.
- SRT and VTT for subtitles, with optional speaker prefix and wrap settings.
- DOCX and XLSX for the producer and writer.
- Source-only, translation-only, or parallel layout per export.

How it works
Three steps from raw material to result.
Transcripts export at the file or session level. Paper cuts export at the assembly level. Both carry the speaker labels you've assigned.
FCPXML for the timeline, SRT/VTT for subtitles, DOCX/XLSX for review. Preview any format before you export.
Speaker names, timecodes, and media references travel with the export so the editor opens a file that already makes sense.
Frequently asked questions
Will FCPXML round-trip into Avid or Premiere?
FCPXML imports into Premiere directly and into Avid via the standard FCPXML pathway. Each subclip carries the original media reference, in/out, and a marker with the speaker and quote.
What does the SRT export include?
Numbered cues with start/end timecodes and the line text. There's a setting for line-length wrapping and a separate setting for whether speaker labels are included as a prefix.
Can I export translation only?
Yes. The export menu lets you pick source only, translation only, or both in a parallel layout. SRT and VTT support a translation-only export for foreign-language subtitle workflows.
What's in the DOCX export?
A formatted transcript with speaker labels, timecodes, and section breaks. For paper cuts, the DOCX export preserves order, headers, and timecodes for each select.
Does the export preserve speaker labels?
Yes. Whatever name you've assigned in the project travels with the export, so an editor opening the FCPXML sees "Elena Marín," not "Speaker 3."

Background guides and comparisons.
FCPXML carries edit decisions, clip references, timecodes, roles, and markers. It does not carry media. Here is how Premiere, Resolve, and Avid handle it differently, and where timecode offsets and missing audio come from.
SRT is more widely supported. VTT has styling hooks. Here is what each format contains, which downstream tools expect which, and where mismatches cause dropped cues.
