Rendering & Export

Rendering in the editor

The top-bar Render button renders the current project in the cloud — same pipeline, same output as the API.

The render dialog (image mode shown: format, quality, transparency)

• Video projects — output format (mp4/mov/avi/webm and more), resolution, frame rate from the top bar.
• Image projects — PNG / JPG / WebP, a quality slider (JPG/WebP), and a transparent background toggle (PNG/WebP). See Rendering Images.
• Credits — the dialog shows the reserved credit cost up front; cancelled or failed renders refund automatically.
• Progress — live phase/percentage updates stream in while rendering; when done you get the CDN URL to play, download, or share.

Exporting the JSON

Export opens the payload behind your project:

Export modal — the payload plus ready-made code snippets

Tab	Contents
project.json	The raw payload — copy or download
Node.js	A ready-to-run render script using fetch
CLI	A one-liner render command
HTTP API	The raw fetch/curl request
Validation	Errors (would fail rendering) and warnings (may surprise you)

The validation tab runs the same checks as the API, so an export that's clean here submits cleanly with your API key.

Save vs. render vs. export

• Save — cloud draft for later editing (Projects & saving).
• Save as template — a tpl_… id for data-driven API renders.
• Render — produce the video/image right now.
• Export — take the JSON into your codebase or pipeline.
