# Export a Clip Creation Script

There may be occasions when you need to copy clips from one transcript or one case to another case. For example, if more than one person on the trial team is creating clips, use a Clip Creation Script (*.ccs) to replicate clips made by others in TRIAL DIRECTOR. You may also modify a Clip Creation Script to string together multiple clips, although TRIAL DIRECTOR's Multiplayer Workbook gives you the same option without having to edit a script.

A .CCS file exported from TRIAL DIRECTOR will contain all of the clip description and identification information. It will also contain the deponent information.

To export the .CCS file, follow the instructions below:

1. Click the EVIDENCE tab in the left navigation panel.

1. Open the needed case by double-clicking the case name in the Cases table. Alternatively, you can select the appropriate case name, then click the **Open Case** button in the ribbon bar above the table.
