Extract text from schedule or data files (SEX)
To convert SEX data files to another format, you need Movie Magic Scheduling or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Schedule Data" file type, you need software like Movie Magic Scheduling or a similar tool.
The .sex file extension primarily represents a Film Production Schedule created by Movie Magic Scheduling. It can also function as a Unity game save or scene data file compiled via .NET, or as an Alpha Five Set Data Dictionary Index. Users interact with the scheduling variant almost exclusively through Movie Magic Scheduling, the film industry's standard tool for production breakdowns and stripboards.
The main disadvantage of the .sex format is its proprietary, closed-source nature. Film professionals constantly struggle to share these schedules with cast and crew members who do not own an expensive Movie Magic license. Similarly, Unity game save files are locked into the specific game's architecture, making external editing extremely difficult without dedicated modding tools.
To share scheduling data effectively, exporting to PDF or CSV is highly recommended so standard users can view the production calendar. For Unity data, converting to JSON or XML might be necessary for debugging, though structural integrity may be lost during the process.
Because this file format is difficult to open or convert externally, standard online converters will fail to process it. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is - if our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SEX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
