Adjust the base export settings

Export options in WeVideo, including title, file type, and resolution.

Use the newly opened panel to adjust the base export settings:

  • Title: Type any title you’d like.
  • Export as: Choose from video (MP4), podcast (audio-only MP3), and a GIF (looping soundless GIF). Note that GIF export will only be available if the project is less than 45 seconds long.
  • Resolution: Choose the export resolution. Available resolutions range from standard definition (852 x 480) up to 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) based on your plan.
  • Upload or generate captions: Enable the WeVideo captions generator to generate captions while rendering your export, or upload your captions file. (You may also generate captions after exporting the project.) Learn more about generating subtitles for WeVideo exports.

Optional: Adjust the advanced export settings

Advanced export settings in WeVideo, including frame rate and visual quality.

Click Advanced Settings to adjust the available advanced export settings:

  • Frame rate: Adjust the frame rate per second by choosing 24, 25, 30, or 60 fps. A higher frame rate creates a smoother viewing experience but also increases processing time.
  • Visual quality: Adjust the visual quality between low, normal, and high.

Optional: Choose a connected export destination

Export destination options in WeVideo, includuing Google Drive, YouTube, and One Drive.

If desired, export the project directly to Google Drive, YouTube, and/or OneDrive. Use the checkbox to select the destination(s), or click Connect to add new destinations.

Click the Export button to complete the export.

  • Educators under a broader Organization plan: The maximum resolution varies based on the contract and can go up to 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160). Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you are interested in higher export resolution options.
