# Data Export: TRC

## TRC File Format

Captured tracking data can be exported into a Track Row Column (TRC) file, which is a format used in various mocap applications. Exported TRC files can also be accessed from spreadsheet software (e.g. Excel). These files contain raw output data from capture, which include positional data of each labeled and unlabeled marker from a selected Take. Expected marker locations and segment orientation data are not included in the exported files. The header contains basic information such as file name, frame rate, time, number of frames, and corresponding marker labels. Corresponding XYZ data is displayed in the remaining rows of the file.
