Export Timeline as Text Data from Character Animator?

Question

Hello Support Community,

Just curious if anyone has found a way to export the timeline data as some type of text format (XML, CSV, etc)? Basically, I'm trying to see if it's possible to get the viseme and trigger data out of Character Animator for use elsewhere: another program, a traditional x-sheet, etc. I've been snooping around the folder/file structure but haven't found anything useful.

Any thoughts?

Depending how tech savvy you are, Ch projects use an sqlite database to hold a git repo representing the project history. You can use got tools with effort to read the database. I think I remember some files being in JSON format. You could possibly write a program to read it. Some files are however binary. Bottom line, it's a pretty advanced and completely unsupported kind of project. I explored and gave up at the time.
