Export to Local

Step 1: Choose the format

To export your video to your computer, click the "Export" button and choose the "Local" tab. Then, select the format you want to export in. Currently, Filmora supports the following formats: WAV, MP4, AVI, MOV, F4V, MKV, TS, MPEG-2, WebM, GIF, AV1 MP4, MP3, GoPro CineFrom and more as shown below.

Step 2: Adjust export settings

After selecting the output format, you can rename the video and change the location on your computer where you want to save it. You can also check the output resolution, frame rate, size, and duration before you export. To change your export settings (i.e. resolution, bit rate, and frame rate) click the "Settings" button.

In the Settings window, there are three quality levels: Lower, Recommend and Higher. The only difference between them is the Bit Rate. You can easily adjust this or other parameters, such as Resolution, and Frame Rate in this window.

It is best to export your video with the same settings as your original video.

Step 3: Export the video

When you're finished adjusting your export settings, press "Apply" to save them. Then, after you have closed the Settings window, press the "Export" button in the Export window.

Note:

The size of the video depends on the length of the project and the bit rate. If the file size looks too big, you can try changing the bit rate in the Settings window to make it smaller.

 

Export to Device

In the Device tab under Format, you can choose to output your video according to the ideal settings for different types of devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, Smart Phone, Galaxy S, Smart TV, PlayStation, and more. You can also make manual adjustments to your settings by clicking the Settings button. Click on "Export" button when you’re finished.
