Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/05/2026

My editor needs my script in .txt format for Avid ScriptSync. Can MovieSlate export the script as a plain text file?

Yes — MovieSlate's Script Dept can export your script as a plain text file, which can be imported into Avid Media Composer's ScriptSync feature.
To export:

  1. Open the Script Dept tab and tap the Reports button.
  2. In the Report Types menu, scroll to the bottom and select Script as Text File.
  3. Choose your export options, then tap the blue checkmark to generate the file.
  4. Use the Share sheet to AirDrop, email, or save the .txt file for your editor.

Note: The text export is generated from the script PDF content. If the script PDF is a scanned image without embedded text, the text export will be empty. Make sure your script PDF contains selectable text before exporting.
