How to export a manuscript
The export can be done both via the project overview and directly from the editor.
- Open the context menu.
- Select the “Export document…” option.
- Optional: Change the “Timecode Offset”.
- Optional: Change “Frame Rate” (e.g. round to 24fps instead of 25fps).
- Select a “Document Type”.
- Optional - when exporting as .docx: adjust the “Timecode Format”.
- Click on “Download”.
Your browser will now download the document in the desired format.
Formats
Frazier currently supports the following text formats or document types for export:
- SubRip (.srt)
- A widely used subtitle format that contains the text in addition to the start and end timecodes.
- WebVTT (.vtt)
- Similar to SubRip. Is primarily used for videos on the internet to transfer the subtitles and display them in the video player.
- CSV (.csv)
- All information in tabular form. Well suited for opening and further processing the texts as a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel, Apple’s Numbers or LibreOffice Calc. Note that texts are not formatted.
- XML (.xml, .ttml, .exb)
- There are various XML based exports. Use these to exchange information with other programs. Rarely used, but if your client asks you about it, take a look at these formats…
- Open Office XML / Word (.docx)
- Export your manuscript including timecode, dialogue/instructions and descriptions. This allows you to export a “classic” manuscript, such as the one used in the recording studio for voice recordings. Compatible with Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, LibreOffice Write and similar programs. *
- Backup (.adc)
- Our own document format (.adc). Use this format to create a complete copy of your work. Only this format contains all additional information such as used votes, comments, tags, etc.!
*Tip: It is possible to create your own Word templates and thus customize the appearance and scope of the manuscripts. For more information, see the DOCX templates chapter.
