Exporting audio

There are two ways to get audio out of a project. Both deliver the same thing: the selected take of every line in every language, named by your file template.

Method	Best for
Export ZIP	Handing files to an audio team or importing them by hand.
Engine plugin	Keeping a Unity, Unreal or Godot project in sync as lines change.

Export ZIP

Press Export ZIP in the project toolbar. The download is named <project>-vo-<date>.zip and contains:

acteme.manifest.json
audio/
  gate_ambush/
    en-US/
      gc_alert_01.wav
      varga_wounded_01.wav
    de-DE/
      gc_alert_01.wav
      varga_wounded_01.wav
  no_scene/
    en-US/
      ui_confirm.wav

Lines without a selected take aren't included. If nothing has been rendered yet, the export tells you so instead of downloading an empty file.

ZIP exports are limited to 6 per minute; see the rate limits.

acteme.manifest.json

The manifest lists every file in the ZIP with its line key, character, language, style, take number, duration, size, format, sample rate and sha256 checksum.

acteme.manifest.json

{
  "version": 1,
  "generatedAt": "2026-10-09T12:00:00.000Z",
  "project": { "id": "…", "name": "Ashfall", "slug": "ashfall", "locales": ["en-US", "de-DE"] },
  "entries": [
    {
      "key": "varga_wounded_01",
      "kind": "line",
      "character": "Varga",
      "locale": "en-US",
      "file": "gate_ambush/en-US/varga_wounded_01.wav",
      "style": "wounded, trying to sound calm",
      "takeId": "…",
      "takeNumber": 2,
      "sha256": "…",
      "durationMs": 2380,
      "sizeBytes": 228524,
      "format": "wav",
      "sampleRate": 48000
    }
  ]
}

file is relative to the audio/ folder. Use the manifest to map line keys to files in your own tools, or to check which takes ship.

Keeping files in sync

A ZIP is a snapshot. For a game in production, where lines keep changing, an engine plugin is less work: it compares checksums and downloads only what changed.
