Exporting video

When a video clip is loaded, video controls appear under Export in the left sidebar, or in the Export sheet on a phone. The export applies your whole grade to every frame.

Preview and Export

• Preview (free, no account): renders 6 seconds around the frame on the canvas, with a watermark, so you can judge the grade in motion before committing. Saving the preview needs a free account.
• Export Pro: renders the whole clip, or the part you trimmed, without a watermark.

Both keep the source frame rate and audio. While a clip renders, the progress shows the time left, and Cancel stops it.

Trimming

Move the player to where the export should begin and tap Start here, then move to where it should stop and tap End here. "Here" is the frame on the canvas. The trim shows as a time range with Clear next to it, and both Export and Preview stay inside it.

On a phone

• Exports and previews are saved at up to 1080p (1920 pixels on the long side), the size Instagram, TikTok and CapCut use. A clip that is already that size or smaller keeps its size. A computer keeps the full size, 4K included.
• When a clip finishes, Save to Photos opens the share sheet: choose Save Video, or send it straight to an app.
• If you close the Export sheet while a clip renders, its progress shows at the top of the canvas.

Export all

With more than one clip or photo open, Export all Pro appears under the other export buttons. It writes every open clip as an MP4 and every open photo as a JPG, each with the shared grade and its own This photo only adjustments.

• Chrome and Edge on a computer: you pick a folder and each file is saved into it as it finishes. Clips can be any length.
• Other browsers: the photos arrive as one zip and each clip as its own download, capped at 2 minutes.

Length limits

• Chrome and Edge on a computer: Export asks where to save the file and writes it to disk as it renders, so clips of any length work.
• Other browsers, and phones: the whole clip is held in memory, so one export is up to 2 minutes. For a longer clip, Export saves the first 2 minutes, or 2 minutes from the trim's start, and the button says which, for example Export 2:00 from 0:50.

Rendering runs on your device, so its speed depends on the device and the clip's resolution. Keep the tab open until it finishes.

For long projects

For a full edit, it's usually better to export a LUT and apply it in your editing app, where it grades the whole timeline without re-rendering in the browser.
