Exporting subtitles

You can export your content as a subtitles file by clicking Export, selecting the Subtitles tab.

Looking for Captions Instead? Subtitles and captions work differently in Descript. If you’re looking for captions that always stay on the video (even when shared or uploaded), check out: Creating captions for your videos.
