Select Export in the editor header to deliver the active Timeline. The button is disabled while that Timeline is empty, so add at least one clip first.
Open the panel and choose an output
- Switch to the Timeline you intend to deliver.
- Optional: press I and O to mark an export Zone.
- Select Export in the top bar.
- Choose the tab that matches the handoff.
| Tab | Result | Detailed guide |
|---|---|---|
| Video | H.264/MP4 or VP8/WebM finished video | Video, audio, and subtitles |
| Audio | Audio-only MP3 | Video, audio, and subtitles |
| Graphics | One transparent ProRes 4444 MOV per motion graphic | Transparent motion graphics |
| Subtitles | SRT or plain-text TXT from the active caption track | Video, audio, and subtitles |
| XML | FCP7 XMEML for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve | Premiere / DaVinci XML |
| CapCut / Jianying | Editable destination-app draft | Editable Jianying / CapCut drafts |
The CapCut or Jianying tab appears only in ChatCut Desktop when a compatible destination app is detected. It creates a project draft, not a finished video.
Know which renderer will run
Web video, audio, and graphics use cloud rendering. ChatCut Desktop can render video locally, exposes 4K, and saves it to a folder you choose; other export types can still use the cloud. Export itself does not consume credits.
Free accounts have a cumulative web/cloud duration quota. Read Web Export Duration Limits before a long render. Individual options can also require Pro, including transparent ProRes motion graphics.
Find the task after starting
File exports appear in the queue below the header Export button. Keep the editor open, then use Download again, View, Retry, Show in Finder, or Open when that action appears. See Downloads, Retries, and Export History for the queue’s limits.
