Export Descript Timelines to Your Preferred Editor (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I'm going to be showing you how not to edit in Descript because you can actually export your Descript timeline straight into whatever editor you're already using. All you have to do in your project is go to the Export tab and click on the Timeline option. From here, you have a whole bunch of settings to choose from. First, you'll choose the program you'll be exporting to. Premiere and Resolve both use the same XML format. Final Cut uses FCPXML. And if you're headed somewhere strictly for audio, there's EDL for Reaper, SCSX for Audition, or AAF for Pro Tools and Logic. Then choose if you want to include your project's media files in the export, or if you just want to export the timeline file itself. And you can choose to skip the files you've downloaded already, if this isn't the first time you're exporting your timeline in your project. Next, you can choose if you want to create a separate video and audio track for each file, and choose your framerate. Snap to Standard framerate rounds to the nearest broadcast rate, but if your media files run higher than 60fps, use Source Framerate instead so nothing gets rounded down. Now all you have to do is head to your separate program, and import the timeline the same way you'd open any other project. And boom, just like that, my video is exported from Descript right into Premiere, ready for me to make any edits I need to.
