Subtitles and export
After a recording, Prompt Flower creates subtitles, transcripts, chapters and edit markers from your script. The text comes from the script, so it is spelled correctly, including names and technical terms. The timing comes from speech recognition, word by word. Everything is created on the iPhone. Part of Prompt Flower Pro.
Exporting
Section titled “Exporting”- Open the script, Recordings tab.
- Touch and hold the recording (or … in the player) and choose Export Subtitles & Markers ….
- Tap a format. The share sheet opens: save to Files, AirDrop to your Mac, Mail and so on.
The files carry the recording’s name. Export is available for recordings in which the script followed your voice; only then are there word timings.

Chapters: each paragraph of your script becomes a chapter. YouTube requires at least three chapters, each at least 10 seconds long, the first at 00:00. If the recording is too short for that, the app tells you.
Markers: every Back to sentence and Back to paragraph during the recording sets a marker. It is not placed where you pressed the button but where you start speaking again after the jump – at the start of the good take.
Frame rate: the marker files use the video’s frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 or 60). Audio-only recordings use 25 frames per second.
In DaVinci Resolve
Section titled “In DaVinci Resolve”- Subtitles: import the SRT into the Media Pool (File › Import › Subtitle) and drag it onto the timeline. Resolve creates a subtitle track.
- Markers: put the recording on a timeline, then right-click the timeline in the Media Pool, choose Timelines › Import › Timeline Markers from EDL and select the
-marker.edl.
In Premiere Pro
Section titled “In Premiere Pro”- Subtitles: import the SRT file (File › Import) and drag it onto the timeline; Premiere creates a captions track.
- Markers: read in the
-marker.edlvia File › Import. Alternatively, use the CSV as a list of times.
In Final Cut Pro
Section titled “In Final Cut Pro”- Markers: open the
-marker.fcpxmlvia File › Import › XML. Final Cut creates an event with the recording and its markers. Put the video file next to the XML file first so Final Cut can find it. - Subtitles: bring the SRT onto the timeline via File › Import › Captions.
Rough cut and export
Section titled “Rough cut and export”If you export from a rough cut, all times match the rough cut: subtitles and markers are recalculated.
When times are estimated
Section titled “When times are estimated”For some recordings, recognition does not deliver exact word timings. Prompt Flower then estimates them, and the export screen says so. In that case, check the subtitles briefly in your video editor.
