I love using Descript to create subtitles for my team's meeting recordings. The auto-transcription is fantastic.
But I only need the SRT file to upload to our video hosting platform. Every time I try to export, it seems to force me to re-render the entire video, which takes forever. Is there a way to export *just* the subtitle file by itself? I feel like I'm missing a simple button somewhere.
Ah, the classic "I just want the captions" struggle. It's been a while since I used Descript, but I remember hitting "Export" and then looking for the "Export captions only" option in the modal window that pops up. It should be under the "File type" dropdown.
If it's not jumping out at you, make sure you're on the "Publish" page and not the "Export" project option. That tripped me up once when I was rushing before a deployment. Got the whole team staring at a loading bar for a 4K render when all we needed was a 2KB text file. Fun times. 😅
