Exporting your edit

Hitting export

When the timeline looks the way you want it, hit "Make the cut" in the right panel. That's the trigger that turns your reviewed timeline into an actual video file. Until that point, nothing has been rendered. You're just moving labels around.

What happens next

Rendering takes a few minutes, much faster than the original processing pass. You'll get an email when your clip is ready with a link to download it. The exported file is a standard MP4. It's your rough cut, ready to bring into your editing software for transitions, music, and final polish.

You can re-export the same stream as many times as you want within the 7-day window. Each re-export uses your current timeline decisions, so you can adjust your cut and render again without re-uploading.

If you have unresolved segments

Most streams won't have any "your call" segments. But if your editor wasn't sure about some moments, you'll see yellow badges on those segments and the "Make the cut" button will stay disabled until they're resolved.

You have two options: flip each one yourself to keep or cut, or use the "Export, let the editor decide the rest" button to let the editor resolve the remaining ones based on their scores.

Either way, only the segments marked keep end up in the final video.

How long are files kept?

Exported clips are available to download for 14 days after each export.

Your original upload is kept for 7 days after processing, so you can re-export different cuts of the same stream during that window. After 7 days, the source video is removed and you would need to re-upload to create new edits.
