How to find draft_content.json in CapCut

Method 1: check the project path in CapCut

1. 1
   Open the correct project

   Launch the CapCut desktop editor and open the project that contains the captions you want to export.

2. 2
   Check the Details panel

   On the right, open Details and locate the Path field. The labels may remain in English in some CapCut versions.

3. 3
   Open the displayed path

   Copy the Path into File Explorer on Windows or Finder on macOS to open this project's draft folder.

What should you look for in the folder?

Open the project directory shown in Path and look for either of these files:

Return to the exporter, choose “Choose project folder”, and select this exact folder—not the parent folder that contains several projects.

Is draft_content.json the CapCut SRT file source?

It is a project-data source, not a ready-made SRT file. The JSON can contain caption materials, timeline tracks, segment timing, and references used by the CapCut project. A converter must match the visible caption text to real timeline segments before it can write reliable SRT timecodes.

How JSON-to-SRT conversion works

This exporter reads the selected project locally, finds supported text materials, follows their timeline references, sorts matched captions by start time, and then creates SRT blocks. It does not rename JSON to SRT, invent timing for unmatched text, or transcribe the video again.

Method 2: check the default draft locations

If the Path field is unavailable, try the locations below. If you changed CapCut's draft location, always use the Path shown in Details.
