Export a composition

Open your File in the Stewdio web or desktop application, then select the composition you want to export.

Open the export dialog

Choose Export in the composition inspector.

Choose a format

Format	Use it for	Transparency
MP4 (H.264)	Video playback and sharing	Transparent areas are filled with black.
MOV (transparent)	Video with transparency	Preserves existing transparency.
PNG	A still image of the current frame	Preserves existing transparency.
JPEG	A still image of the current frame	Transparent areas are filled with black.

For a still image, move the playhead to the frame you want before exporting.

Adjust the settings

Choose Size to export at 50%, 100%, or 200% of the composition’s dimensions.For video, choose a Frame rate of 24, 30, or 60 fps. Quality is available for MP4, MOV, and JPEG.Check the output dimensions and, for video, the duration shown in the dialog.

Download the result

Choose Export video or Export image. Keep the dialog open until the export finishes. Choose Cancel export if you need to stop it.

PNG and MOV preserve existing transparency, including any background you have authored. To export a transparent background, make sure the composition and its content leave the intended areas transparent.

If your assistant’s embedded editor directs you to export externally, open the File in Stewdio and export there.
