How can I download .srt subtitle files and the videos themselves with YouTube Scraper?

Hi folks, I'm testing out the YouTube Scraper and can't for the life of me figure out two things:

1. How do I download/export the .srt subtitle files of a run? I can only get the subs to show in an Excel column when exporting as Excel or CSV. Is there a way to get the separate .srt files (or, ideally, .txt files) of the subs?
2. The intro to the product suggests you can also download the videos themselves, not just info about them ("YouTube crawler and video scraper" - https://apify.com/bernardo/youtube-scraper#what-does-youtube-scraper-do) - but I can't find a way to do this. Is it possible, or have I misinterpreted the tool's capacity?

Thanks.
