Exporting
Rendering happens on your machine, uses the GPU when one is available, and never consumes AI tokens. There is no export limit on any plan.
Export a video
- Click Export in the editor. The Export page opens with a summary of resolution, frame rate, duration, format, and audio.
- Check the settings below. They are remembered for next time.
- Click Export. Progress shows as “Exporting… 42%” with a Cancelbutton. When it finishes you see “Exported <filename>” and can Export again.
Tip: An empty timeline cannot be exported: “The project is empty — add something to the timeline first.” Leaving the Export page cancels an export that is still running.
Settings explained
| Setting | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| File name | Free text | Defaults to the project name. Characters that are not allowed in file names are replaced with a dash. |
| Format | MP4 (H.264) · WebM (VP9) | MP4 for compatibility, WebM for smaller files. Audio is AAC in MP4 and Opus in WebM. |
| Quality | Low · Medium · High · Very high | High is the default and the recommended setting. Low is the smallest file, Very high the largest. |
| Resolution | Original · 2160 · 1440 · 1080 · 720 · 480 | The number is the short side; the aspect ratio is kept. Presets larger than the project are hidden, so nothing is ever upscaled. |
| Frame rate | Project · 24 · 25 · 30 · 60 | Project uses the project's own frame rate. |
| Audio | Include audio in export | Off produces a silent file. When on, transition sound effects are mixed in automatically. |
Where the file goes
The finished file is delivered like a browser download, into the downloads folder your system uses for Agent28, named after the project with .mp4 or .webm. There is no save dialog.
From an AI app
- Ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Claude Code: “Export my Agent28 project as a 1080p video.” The AI can pick MP4 or WebM and any of the four quality levels.
- Those exports are written to
~/Movies/Agent28unless the AI is told another folder. - The export runs as a job; the AI reports when it is finished. Long projects take a few minutes.
See Connect Claude Code for the /agent28-export skill.
