Story Architect (.starc) → ScreenJSON (.screenjson)
Pro Rescuing a script out of Story Architect (.starc) is the Pro part — from there it converts to ScreenJSON (.screenjson) 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) → ScreenJSON (.screenjson)
Opens the homepage converter with ScreenJSON 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
- niche adoption; tooling beyond ScriptBridge is sparse
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 ScreenJSON. ScreenJSON background: ScreenJSON (circa 2020) is an independent open schema project promoting “screenplays as data” — typed elements, stable IDs, language maps — with converters from FDX, Fountain and PDF.
