Exporting
Export writes the finished file. It is included with every active Reely subscription, along with the editor, agent workflow, recording, preview, and rendering.
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
| Setting | Options | Pick |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Video · GIF | GIF for a README or a chat; video for everything else |
| Codec | HEVC · H.264 · ProRes 422 HQ · ProRes 4444 | HEVC for quality per megabyte, H.264 for maximum compatibility, ProRes when it goes into another edit |
| Quality | Compact · Balanced · High | HEVC only — the others always render at full quality |
| Container | MP4 · MOV | MP4 unless you picked ProRes, which requires MOV |
| Canvas | A preset, or your own width × height | The shape of the frame — see Canvas & format |
| Frame rate | 24 · 30 · 60 | 30 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.
/reely Export it as H.264 to marketing/launch.mp4.
If export is refused
That is the license gate, not an export-format error. Activate your key or renew the subscription, then retry. Existing project files remain on your Mac. See Plans.
