	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	The '''~~Export Video~~''' feature ~~lets you take~~ your ~~edited~~ and ~~AI‑enhanced video sequences from the Editor or Render Queue and output them as standard media files~~. ~~Use it to deliver finished videos~~ for ~~review~~, ~~publishing~~, ~~or archiving~~.		The '''[[Build_Video\|Build Video]]''' feature in [[ACT3AI\|ACT 3 AI]] is the final assembly stage where your [[Scenes\|scenes]], [[Shots\|shots]], and [[BRoll\|B-Roll]] come together into a finished production.
			It provides an intuitive interface for arranging clips, applying transitions, adding audio, and exporting your project in professional formats.

	~~== Supported Formats ==~~		Whether your content was generated by AI, imported from external sources, or a combination of both, the Build Video process ensures it is polished, synced, and ready for publication.
	* MP4 (.mp4) – Widely compatible with web platforms and ~~social media.~~
	* MOV (.mov) – High‑quality format for ~~professional editing suites.~~
	* WebM (.webm) – Optimized for web delivery with good compression.
	* ProRes (.mov) – Apple ProRes for post‑production workflows.
	* Animated GIF (.gif) – Short looped previews for quick sharing.

	== ~~How to Export~~ ==		== Key Capabilities ==
	~~# Open the~~ Render Queue or the ~~Editor**~~ preview ~~pane where your final cut is ready~~.		* '''Multi-Track Timeline:''' Combine [[AI_Rendered_Footage\|AI-generated video]], [[BRoll\|B-Roll]], [[Audio_Tracks\|music]], and [[Sound_Effects\|sound effects]] on separate layers.
	# ~~Click~~ the ~~Export~~ Video ~~button (or choose File → Export Video)~~.		* '''Transitions & Effects:''' Apply crossfades, wipes, overlays, and filters between [[Shots\|shots]].
	# In the ~~dialog, select~~ the desired ~~output format from the dropdown~~.		* '''Audio Mixing:''' Adjust [[Dialogue\|dialogue]], [[Music\|music]], and [[Sound_Effects\|effects]] levels independently.
	# ~~Adjust export settings: resolution, frame rate, bitrate, and file naming~~.		* '''Aspect Ratio Control:''' Export in multiple formats (16:9, 9:16, 1:1).
	# ~~Click Start Export; progress appears~~ in ~~the Render Queue panel~~.		* '''Render Queue Integration:''' Send final compositions to the [[Render_Queue\|Render Queue]] for processing.
	# Once complete, click Download or Open Folder to ~~access~~ the ~~file~~.		* '''Preview & Adjust:''' Real-time preview with frame-by-frame accuracy before rendering.

			== How to Build Your Video ==
			# Open your project in the [[Editor\|Editor]] and navigate to the Build Video mode.
			# Drag and drop [[Scenes\|scenes]], [[Shots\|shots]], and [[BRoll\|B-Roll]] into the [[Timeline\|timeline]].
			# Arrange the sequence in your desired order.
			# Add [[Transitions\|transitions]] between shots if needed.
			# Layer in [[Audio_Tracks\|background music]] and [[Sound_Effects\|effects]].
			# Use [[Color_Grading\|color grading]] to ensure visual consistency.
			# Preview the entire video and make final adjustments.

	== Export Options ==		== Export Options ==
	* ~~'''Resolution~~:~~''' Choose from~~ 720p, 1080p, 4K~~, or custom dimensions.~~		* Formats: MP4, MOV, ProRes
	* ~~'''~~Frame ~~Rate~~:~~''' Select common frame rates (24~~, 30, ~~60 fps) or enter a custom value.~~		* Resolutions: 720p, 1080p, 4K
	* ~~'''Bitrate Control~~:~~''' Set target bitrate or use variable bitrate (VBR) presets for quality vs~~. ~~file size~~.		* Frame Rates: 24fps, 30fps, 60fps
	* ~~'''Audio Settings:''' Choose audio codec (AAC, PCM), channel layout (stereo, 5.1), and bit depth~~.		* Additional deliverables: [[Subtitles\|subtitles]], [[Multi_Language_Dubs\|multi-language dubs]], [[Thumbnails\|thumbnails]]
	* ~~'''Watermark & Intro/Outro:''' Optionally add a logo overlay or predefined intro/outro clip~~ to ~~the export~~.
			== Best Practices ==
			* Keep pacing consistent with your [[Story_Arc\|story arc]] and [[Genre_Tone\|tone]].
			* Match [[Lighting\|lighting]] and [[Color_Grading\|color grading]] across all clips.
			* Test exports in lower resolution before rendering in full 4K to save [[Credit_System\|credits]].
			* Use [[Lock_Scenes\|scene locking]] to prevent last-minute accidental changes.

	== ~~Integration with Workflow~~ ==		== Credits & Billing ==
	* Render Queue – Batch multiple exports and ~~monitor progress in one panel~~.		* Rendering consumes [[Credit_System\|credits]] based on resolution, length, and chosen rendering engine ([[Google_Veo_3\|Google Veo 3]], [[Wan\|WAN AI]], [[Runway\|Runway Integration]]).
	* Project Versions – Tag exports with project version names; access from the ~~Versions menu~~.		* Check the [[Credits_Panel\|Credits Panel]] for real-time usage before exporting.
	* Cloud Upload – Automatically upload exported files to connected cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, AWS S3).		* Exporting at lower resolutions or shorter lengths reduces credit consumption.
	* Share Links – Generate shareable, secure links for stakeholders directly after export.

	== ~~Tips &~~ Troubleshooting ==		== Troubleshooting ==
	* ~~For web publishing, use MP4 with H~~.~~264 codec at 1080p~~ and ~~30 fps for best compatibility~~.		* '''Video looks different after export''' → Ensure [[Color_Grading\|color grading]] is applied before rendering.
	* ~~If your export stalls, check that no other heavy renders are running in~~ the Render Queue.		* '''Audio out of sync''' → Check [[Frame_Rate_Settings\|frame rate settings]] and adjust before final render.
	* Use ProRes exports for downstream color grading or VFX workflows.		* '''Long render times''' → Queue overnight using the [[Render_Queue\|Render Queue]].
	* Large 4K exports can take significant time—consider lower‐resolution previews first.
