Exporting and downloading

Exporting renders your project on Muvomi’s servers as a video file you can download. Exporting is always free, as often as you like. On the Free plan, exports carry a small Made with Muvomi. badge in the bottom-right corner; paid plans export without it.

There are two export dialogs: one in the video editor, and one for films, shorts and templates.

  1. Press Export in the editor’s header.

  2. Choose a Preset, or adjust the settings below.

  3. Press Export. The export joins the Queue at the bottom of the dialog.

  4. When it reads Ready, press Download.

You can keep editing while it renders. Exports render one at a time, and up to five can wait in the queue.

  • Resolution is the shorter side, so 4K is 3840 × 2160 in 16:9 and 2160 × 3840 in 9:16.
  • Custom sizes are even numbers from 256 to 4,096 px a side, within 4096 × 2160 pixels in total.
  • Sound in an MP4 is AAC at 320 kbps.
  • The timeline runs at 30 fps; other frame rates drop or repeat frames rather than inventing motion.

Thumbnail at … saves a JPG of the frame at the playhead, at the chosen size.

Each export shows Waiting its turn, its progress, then Ready with Download. Cancel stops one that’s rendering. The queue is kept in this browser for each edit. Asking for an export that’s already queued with the same settings reuses it.

AI Product Director films, AI Shorts and template films use the Export video dialog. Open it with Download video or Render video.

  1. Choose a Destination: Original format, YouTube · 16:9, Reels / TikTok / Shorts · 9:16 or Instagram feed · 1:1 (only the shapes the film supports are offered).

  2. Choose a resolution: 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K (Ultra HD).

  3. Set the Frame rate (24, 30 or 60 fps) and Encoding (H.264 · widely compatible or H.265 / HEVC). Advanced settings has Quality and Custom dimensions.

  4. For films with narration or music, choose what’s in your download under Audio in your download: switch Voice-over and Background music on or off.

  5. Press Export. Progress shows four stages: Preparing your assets, Rendering every frame, Encoding your MP4 and Adding the finishing touches, with a time estimate once rendering is under way.

  6. When it’s done, press Download MP4.

Cancel rendering stops an export. Render again makes a fresh one. Your film itself never changes when you choose export settings.

Finished exports are kept in your private storage. Open the same project’s export dialog with the same settings and the finished file is offered again, ready to download, without rendering it twice.

It depends on the length and complexity of the video. The dialog estimates the time left once rendering has started. You can leave the dialog open and keep working.
