The export, step by step (example: YouTube Shorts, 1080p vertical, 30 fps)
- 1Tap Export at the top right of the editor.
- 2Switch from Auto to Manual.
- 3Resolution: 1080p vertical. FPS: 30.
- 4Average Bitrate: 8 Mbps. Set this last, because changing resolution or FPS resets it.
- 5Leave HDR off unless every clip was shot in HDR.
- 6Tap Export.
For HDR
- Turn on HDR in the export panel only when all clips are HDR (for example iPhone Dolby Vision).
VN pitfalls
- Changing resolution, FPS or HDR resets the bitrate to automatic, so set Average Bitrate last.
- HDR on with SDR clips can shift colours; HDR off tone-maps HDR clips to SDR.
- Export does not need VN Pro.
