Export Distribution
Overview
The Export Distribution feature in ACT 3 AI manages how your final video projects are exported, packaged, and shared. It supports industry-standard formats for editing, publishing, and direct distribution across platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, or internal review channels.
Export Formats
- Video Files:
- MP4 – lightweight, web-ready
- MOV / ProRes – professional post-production
- WebM – optimized for browsers
- Editing Formats:
- EDL, AAF – for non-linear editors (Premiere, Avid)
- USD, FBX – for 3D/VFX workflows
- Resolutions: 720p, 1080p, 4K (aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
How to Export
- From Build Video, select **Export Options**.
- Choose output format (MP4, ProRes, EDL, etc.).
- Configure:
- Resolution and frame rate
- Subtitles / dubbing languages
- Delivery platform (YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, etc.)
- Click Export.
- Monitor progress in the Render Queue.
Distribution Options
- Direct Publishing: Upload automatically to YouTube, TikTok, or private cloud storage.
- Team Review: Share secure preview links within your organization.
- Investor Deliverables: Export pitch decks and annotated cuts.
- Archiving: Save master files in long-term storage.
Best Practices
- Export test cuts in 720p/1080p before committing to 4K to save credits.
- Use platform-specific aspect ratios (9:16 for TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube).
- Generate subtitles for accessibility and SEO.
- Keep ProRes masters for professional editing, but distribute MP4 for sharing.
Troubleshooting
- Export failed → Check credit balance or free storage space.
- Audio missing → Ensure audio tracks are enabled before export.
- Wrong aspect ratio → Verify project settings and timeline layout.
- Subtitles not syncing → Re-render with subtitle generation enabled.
Credits & Billing
- Exporting consumes credits based on resolution and duration (see Billing Model).
- Advanced outputs (ProRes, dubs, lookbooks) may incur additional charges.
