Story Architect (.starc) → Rich Text (.rtf)
Pro Rescuing a script out of Story Architect (.starc) is the Pro part — from there it converts to Rich Text (RTF) (.rtf) and every other format on the site. The button below opens the converter with the output format already selected, and the server checks your plan when the file is dropped in.
Run this conversion
Convert Story Architect (.starc) → Rich Text (.rtf)
Opens the homepage converter with Rich Text (RTF) already selected as the output — drop your file, press Convert Script.
What survives this conversion
- the full screenplay text with scene headings, action, dialogue, parentheticals, shots and transitions
- act, sequence and beat structure wrappers
- the project’s dictionaries and settings stay in the file (we convert the screenplay text)
What can be lost
- unstyled RTF falls back to layout heuristics (uppercase cues, indentation)
- positioning-only RTF exports lose element types on the way out
Every conversion includes an honest report listing anything that could not translate — you see it before downloading.
How this pair works
Your Story Architect file is parsed into a canonical screenplay model (by verified content, not just the file extension), then rendered as Rich Text (RTF). Rich Text (RTF) background: Rich Text Format was created by Microsoft in 1987 as a document exchange format; the final specification (1.9.1) landed in 2008 and was never updated, but nearly every discontinued screenwriting application could export it.
