When the video is ready, choose **Export** in the project's top bar. The **Export** panel opens beside the picture.

</Frame>

## Choose the file

| Choice | Options | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Quality** | **1080p** or **Project size**, plus **4K** when the project fits it | 1080p |
| **Format** | **MP4**, **WebM**, **MOV** | MP4 |
| **Frame rate** | 24, 30, 60 | 30 |

MP4 is the right choice for sharing and uploading. Pick another format only when the place you are sending it asks
for one.

## Render

Choose the render button, for example **Render 1080p MP4**. The panel shows **Getting ready**, then **Rendering**
with the frames done so far, then **Finishing the file**. You can close the panel and keep working; the render
continues. Choose **Cancel** to stop it.

**Export** is unavailable while the agent is building the project. Wait for the run to finish.

## Find the file

The video is saved to your **Downloads** folder, named after the project with the date and time, for example
`Spring Launch 2026-05-04 10.30.mp4`. When it is done, the panel shows **Export ready** with the file size:

- **Open video** plays it.
- **Show in Finder** (**Show in folder** on Linux) opens the folder.

Watch the exported file once from start to end before you send it.

## If the export fails

- The render fails or does not start: choose the render button again. If it keeps failing,
  ask the agent to check the project, then export again.
- **The video was made but could not be saved to your Downloads folder**: free up space or check that the Downloads
  folder exists, then export again.
- **HyperFrames could not start its built-in FFmpeg**: the app may be damaged. Reinstall it from
  [hyperframes.dev/studio](https://hyperframes.dev/studio).
