One film usually needs several files: a master, a web version, a vertical cut for phones, maybe stems for a sound mixer. Export in the editor makes all of them.

The full film

Click Export (top right) → Full. Pick a Platform Preset (YouTube 4K/1080p, Instagram Reel, TikTok, Cinema DCP, Archive (ProRes)…) or set it yourself:

FormatUse it for
MP4 (H.264)Uploading anywhere; the safe default
MP4 (H.265/HEVC)Smaller files at the same quality
ProRes 422 (.mov) / DNxHR HQ (.mov)A master, or handing to a colourist or another editor
WebM (VP9)Embedding on the web

Start Export renders in your browser and downloads the file. Cloud Render renders on MoviePro's servers; only cloud renders appear in Publish and share links as "Rendered exports".

A vertical version

Before exporting for TikTok, Reels or Shorts, use Inspector → AI Post → Reframe: choose the Target Format and Auto-Reframe Clips so subjects stay in frame at 9:16. Or switch the toolbar's Project format.

Other deliverables

The other Export tabs:

  • Clip and Batch: one clip, or several presets in one go.
  • Audio: a Full mix, an M&E mix (no dialogue) for dubbing, or Stems per track or per dialogue/music/effects.
  • Still: a frame as PNG or JPEG, for a poster or thumbnail.
  • NLE: EDL, FCPXML, Premiere/Resolve XML or OTIO to finish in another editor.

Check the platform's own upload specs before you deliver; YouTube publishes its recommended settings, linked below.
