Export and share your video

The Raylight editor with a finished scene ready to export.

Two ways to get your work out: save a video file, or send a live link.

Export a video file

Click Export and choose:

  • Format: MP4 for almost everything, since it has sound and plays anywhere. GIF for a short silent loop.
  • Resolution and frame rate: every quality up to 4K at 60 fps, on the free plan too.
  • Quality: presets from Studio, the biggest and sharpest, down to Web, the smallest. Social Media is a safe default.
  • Scope: the entire timeline, or just the shot you have selected.

The panel shows a rough export time and file size as you change settings, so there are no surprises.

Pick where it lands

  • File: downloads to your computer.
  • Clipboard: copies the video to paste straight into a chat or a post.
  • Shareable link: uploads the finished video to a hosted page you can send. Pro only.

Free exports carry a small Made in Raylight badge in the corner. Upgrading to Pro removes it from every export, or you can remove it from a single export with credits, no subscription needed.

Or share the project itself

The Share button gives you something different: a live link to the project. Anyone who opens it watches your scene play right in the browser, no account needed. Free on every plan, and the fastest way to show a client or post a work in progress.

The free plan at a glance

  • Build and share links without paying.
  • Export in full quality: up to 4K at 60 fps, up to 60 seconds, MP4 or GIF, with a small Made in Raylight badge.
  • Pro removes the badge on every export, lifts the length cap, and adds the hosted video link. Credits can remove the badge from a single export without a subscription.
