Exports
Turn a scene into Fountain, structured data, or subtitle cues.
Exports
Your prose is already a plain file. Exports exist for the shapes that are not prose: structured beats and timed cues.
Because scenes are Markdown on your disk, there is nothing to export in the usual sense. You can copy the file. Exports matter when another tool needs the same scene in a different shape.
The four shapes
| Format | What you get | Reach for it when |
|---|---|---|
md | The Fountain source, verbatim | You want the scene exactly as written |
json | Structured beats | Another tool needs to read the scene programmatically |
csv | Structured beats, as rows | You are taking it into a spreadsheet |
srt | Subtitle cues, one per timed beat | The scene carries timing and you want captions |
srt only produces cues for beats that actually carry timing. Export an untimed scene and you get an empty
file, which is the honest answer rather than invented timings. Use md or json for untimed scenes.
