Click **Export** in the top bar when the project is ready for a finished file. Studio opens the **Renders** panel.

## Choose the format

- **MP4** — the normal choice for sharing and uploading.
- **WebM** — useful for web delivery and some transparency workflows.
- **MOV (ProRes)** — useful when another editing or production workflow expects a high-quality intermediate.

Choose the format required by the destination rather than the one with the most options.

## Choose quality and size

Use the project’s authored resolution unless you need a specific delivery size.

The resolution control includes **Auto** and compatible preset sizes. Increasing resolution makes the render slower and the file larger; it does not repair low-resolution source media.

Choose 24, 30, or 60 fps only when the destination or source material requires it. MOV uses a fixed ProRes quality, so the separate quality choice is hidden for that format.

## Start and manage a render

The render queue shows active and completed jobs. From there you can:

- watch progress;
- cancel an active job;
- download a completed file;
- delete an unwanted result;
- choose **Hide finished** to remove completed rows from the list without deleting their files.

## Before you send the file

1. Open the exported file itself.
2. Watch the beginning and end.
3. Check captions, cuts, audio, and the most complex transition.
4. Confirm dimensions and duration.
5. Use a clear filename that identifies the version.

If a render fails, keep the error and open [Studio troubleshooting](/studio/troubleshooting).
