Exporting

Export writes the finished file. It is the one step a subscription covers — everything before it, including watching the finished video in the app, is free.

There is no resolution picker: video always exports at 4K, scaled from your canvas. One less decision, and the file is always big enough for a landing page or a store listing.

The settings

SettingOptionsPick
FormatVideo · GIFGIF for a README or a chat; video for everything else
CodecHEVC · H.264 · ProRes 422 HQ · ProRes 4444HEVC for quality per megabyte, H.264 for maximum compatibility, ProRes when it goes into another edit
QualityCompact · Balanced · HighHEVC only — the others always render at full quality
ContainerMP4 · MOVMP4 unless you picked ProRes, which requires MOV
CanvasA preset, or your own width × heightThe shape of the frame — see Canvas & format
Frame rate24 · 30 · 6030 for most things; 60 when motion is fast

Quality only applies to HEVC, because it is the only codec with a meaningful size/detail trade-off: Compact is smallest and the one to share, Balanced keeps more detail at a moderate size, High is maximum quality and the largest file. ProRes uses its own fixed master profile, and H.264 always renders at full quality.

GIF is a different animal: silent, downscaled and frame-capped on purpose so the file stays sendable. For anything that needs to look sharp, export video.

Where each one goes

  • Social (Stories, Reels, TikTok) — H.264, MP4, 9:16.
  • Landing page hero — HEVC, MP4. Compact if it autoplays on the page.
  • App Store preview — H.264, MP4, 9:16.
  • README or changelog — GIF.
  • Handing to an editor — ProRes 422 HQ, MOV.

Exporting from your agent

You do not have to open the app at all — ask for the file and the path, and it is written when the render finishes.

If export is refused

That is the license gate, not an error. Everything you made is on your Mac and exports the moment you subscribe — nothing has to be rebuilt. See Plans.
