Exporting videos
When you're done with your project, you'll need to export it as a media file to be able to play it on the devices. This section will guide you through the process of exporting your project to a popular video format. If you want to find out more about other ways of saving videos, see the following guides:
Export a video
1. To start saving the video, click the Export button under the player. The export settings window will open.
2. Choose a format for saving the video in.
Some formats allow you to choose between video codecs. If you don't know which format to choose, try using MP4. The MP4 format is supported by most platforms and operating systems.
At lower resolutions, the file will be significantly smaller, however, the video will lose some quality due to the limitations of digital data compression.
The GIF format is different from other formats in the list. It allows saving video as a mute animated image, which can then be played in some image viewing programs or in any web browser.
3. If you want to change the resolution, aspect ratio, or other settings, click the Advanced button to view and edit the project settings. To save the changes click OK.
4. Name your file and choose a destination folder.
In the 'Save to' field, enter the folder where you would like to store the file. By default, this will be the directory for saving output videos specified in the preferences. To set a different folder, click the Browse button and choose the folder in the Windows Explorer window, or enter the path manually into the box. Name your video in the Title field: the project's name will be filled in for you by default.
5. Choose the quality of the video.
If your project is heavy on small details and filters, you can select High or Highest quality to export the finished video with a higher bitrate. This will increase the output file size but will preserve better quality. For most other projects, Good quality will provide a nice result at a small file size.
6. Click the Start button to begin processing the video file. This may take up to a few minutes.
