Export Script

Overview

The Export Script feature in ACT 3 AI allows you to take your written or AI-assisted scripts and export them into industry-standard formats. This makes it easy to continue work in professional screenwriting tools, share drafts with collaborators, or archive project scripts outside the platform.

Supported Formats

• Final Draft (.fdx): Industry standard for professional screenwriters.
• PDF (.pdf): Shareable read-only version for pitches, reviews, or archival.
• Text (.txt): Lightweight text export for quick notes or external editing.
• Markdown (.md): Flexible format for technical pipelines or developer integration.

How to Export

1. Open your project in the Editor.
2. Navigate to **File → Export Script**.
3. Select your preferred export format (FDX, PDF, TXT, MD).
4. Choose whether to export the full script, selected scenes, or Acts → Scenes → Shots only.
5. Click **Export**, and your file will be generated.

Integration

• Exports can be re-imported into Final Draft or other editing software.
• Supports linking with Import Script to round-trip content between ACT 3 and third-party tools.
• Works seamlessly with Characters, Digital Actors, and Cinematography metadata.

Best Practices

• Use **FDX export** if you need to collaborate with external writers or production teams.
• Export to **PDF** when sending drafts for review to investors or stakeholders.
• For simple idea sharing, **TXT/MD export** is often fastest.
• Always keep a local copy of exported scripts for backup.

Example Workflow

Step	Action	Tool
1	Write or import your script	Script Editor, Import Script
2	Refine scenes with visuals and assets	Editor, Timeline & Storyboard
3	Generate a production draft	AI Wizard, AI Task Assembly
4	Export to Final Draft or PDF	Export Script

Troubleshooting

• If formatting appears broken, use the **FDX export** instead of TXT.
• Ensure you have enough credits if exporting directly from AI-expanded scripts.
• Some metadata (camera directions, B-roll notes) may not carry over into non-FDX formats.
