How to convert SCC to CSV
Convert SCC to CSV online. CutConvert decodes the Scenarist caption file — CEA-608 byte pairs, drop-frame timecode and all — and writes a spreadsheet with every caption's start, end, and text, for QC reports, as-broadcast scripts, and caption review.
Add your .scc file
Drag the SCC onto the drop zone. Set the frame rate if you know it — 29.97 drop-frame is the usual for US broadcast.
Convert to CSV
Press Convert. Every decoded caption becomes a row: start, end, and text.
Download your result
Download the converted file instantly — or a single ZIP archive when you convert a batch of files.
SCC captions and CSV spreadsheet, explained
Reviewing a broadcast caption file usually means squinting at hex byte pairs or opening a captioning suite. This converter decodes the SCC — the same CEA-608 decoding verified against caption-inspector, Comcast's open-source reference tool — and hands you a spreadsheet instead: one row per caption with drop-frame-correct timing. Use it for QC sign-off sheets, as-broadcast scripts, translation prep, or simply reading what a delivered file actually says. Caption positioning codes are not carried into the CSV — a spreadsheet has nowhere to put them; the timing and text are exact.
A broadcast caption file as a spreadsheet — every cue decoded with its timing, ready for QC and review. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.
SCC to CSV FAQ
What do I use an SCC-to-CSV conversion for?
QC reports, as-broadcast scripts, translation and review sheets — anywhere a human needs to read a broadcast caption file without captioning software.
Is the decoding accurate?
Yes — the SCC decoder round-trips against the test media from caption-inspector, Comcast's open-source caption verification tool, including drop-frame timing at 29.97 fps.
Does caption positioning carry into the CSV?
No — a spreadsheet has no way to express screen position, so the CSV carries timing and text. The decoding of both is exact.
Can I convert the SCC to subtitles instead?
Yes — the SCC to SRT converter is the same decoder writing SRT for editing and re-timing workflows.

Questions, answered
Where are my files processed?
Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted on CutConvert’s servers, then handed straight back to you as a download. We never sell or share your media.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you’ll create an account and upgrade — which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.
What do I get when I convert multiple files?
Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you simply get that one file — no unnecessary ZIP.
Which formats are supported?
You can convert EDL to CSV; SRT and VTT subtitles to each other and to plain text; SRT, TXT, and DOCX/DOC transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON; SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT; and Premiere Pro .prtranscript exports to SRT, VTT, or text — with speaker labels preserved. More post-production formats are on the way.
Can I pick a frame rate?
