Export after review, not instead of review

The export dialog is the last step in the workflow. It should package a finished decision, not help you discover unfinished scenes.

In the editor you can export MP4, GIF, or MOV, and choose between 540p, 720p, 1080p, and 4K depending on plan access. Transparent background export is also controlled here, which matters when the animation will be composited elsewhere.

Before you export, do one full watch for pacing and one full watch for readability. That second pass is where you catch late text, too-fast scenes, awkward transitions, and transparent edges that looked fine in isolated preview but fail in sequence.

Steps

1. Confirm the destination: Pick the export format based on the channel and handoff need. Use the smallest format that solves the real delivery requirement.
2. Choose quality after the layout is locked: Resolution is not a substitute for good composition. Lock the design first, then choose 540p, 720p, 1080p, or 4K as needed.
3. Enable transparency only when the output needs it: Transparent exports are excellent for overlays and compositing, but they should be intentional because they change how you review background relationships.
4. Keep the project that produced the export: After delivery, return to Projects and keep the source file so the next size, language, or revision starts from the approved state.

Checklist

• MP4 and GIF are standard export options.
• MOV is a gated option tied to a higher plan tier.
• 4K export is also gated by plan.
• Transparency can be previewed in the editor before export.

Final review rule Never export immediately after the biggest edit of the session. Pause, run a clean playback, then export only if nothing on screen surprises you anymore.
