When your edit is ready, Export renders the current scene into a finished file. Renders run in the background, so you can keep editing — or close the tab entirely — while your video processes.

​
Start an export

1

Open the export panel

Click Export in the top bar. A panel slides in with two tabs: Export settings and Export history.
2

Pick the scene and mode

Choose which scene to render — the one you’re editing is marked (Current). Leave Mode on Standard for a regular video, or pick Flam to get two files: the main video plus an alpha mask you can use in any compositing app.
3

Set quality and codec

Choose a Quality of High, Medium, or Low, a codec — H.264 or H.265 (MP4), or ProRes (MOV) — and an audio sample rate of 48 or 44.1 kHz.
4

Export

Click Export. The panel flips to Export history, where your render appears with live progress.
The Video and Audio toggles control what goes into the file. Turn Video off for an audio-only export — you’ll choose MP3 or WAV instead of a codec, and muted tracks are left out.

​
Resolution and plan limits

Studio renders at up to 1080p, at your project’s frame rate. Each plan sets a maximum render height — if your plan tops out below 1080p, the export automatically renders at your plan’s maximum (for example 720p) and lets you know. See Plans to compare limits and unlock higher-resolution renders.

​
Track progress

Each render in Export history shows a status — Exporting, Exported, or Export failed — with a progress bar, a percentage, and a time estimate. Rendering happens server-side: close the panel, keep editing, reload the page, or come back on another device, and your render keeps going and reappears in the history.

​
Download your video

When a render finishes, its history entry shows a preview thumbnail and four actions: Finished renders are also saved to your project’s Asset library automatically, so you can drop an exported cut straight back onto a canvas or into another scene. Use the search box and status filter in Export history to find older renders.
