Export & Delivery

Render your project for any platform with optimized presets, professional codecs, cloud rendering, and batch processing.

Export Formats Guide

AIVE ONE Beta supports a comprehensive range of professional codecs and containers. Choose the right format based on your delivery requirements.

H.264 (AVC)

H.265 (HEVC)

Apple ProRes

Avid DNxHR

Additional Codecs

• AV1 — Next-generation open codec with superior compression. Ideal for web streaming where encoder time is not a constraint.
• VP9 — Open codec widely used for YouTube delivery. Good compression with broad browser support.
• GIF / Animated WebP — Short-form animated previews and social sharing.

Audio-Only Formats

• AAC — Lossy, excellent quality at 192-320 kbps. Standard for podcasts and streaming.
• WAV / PCM — Uncompressed audio for professional delivery (24-bit / 48 kHz).
• FLAC — Lossless compression, roughly 50% of WAV size with identical quality.
• M4A — AAC in Apple container, ideal for podcast distribution.

Resolution Presets

AIVE ONE Beta includes standard resolution presets for common delivery targets. You can also enter any custom resolution.

Export Presets

Press Cmd+E (Mac) or Ctrl+E (Windows) to open the Export dialog. AIVE ONE Beta includes 9 platform-optimized presets:

Click a preset to apply it, then click Export to start rendering. The progress bar shows estimated time remaining.

Social Media Presets

Each social preset is tuned to the platform's upload requirements for optimal processing and quality retention after re-encoding.

YouTube

Instagram Reels

TikTok

Additional Social Presets

• Resolution — Any custom resolution, or match source
• Frame rate — 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, 60, 120 fps
• Bitrate — VBR or CBR, with quality slider (CRF 0-51 for H.264/H.265)

• HDR metadata — HDR10, HDR10+, HLG (where supported)
• Audio — AAC, PCM, FLAC; 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz; mono, stereo, or 5.1
• Loudness normalisation — Target LUFS (-14 for YouTube, -16 for podcasts, -24 for broadcast)
• Subtitles — Burn in, sidecar SRT, or embedded CEA-608/708

Cloud Rendering

For Pro and Team plan users, cloud rendering offloads the export to our GPU cluster — freeing your computer for other work.

How It Works

1. In the Export dialog, toggle Cloud Render on.
2. Your project uploads to our secure render farm (encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256).
3. Rendering happens on dedicated GPU instances — typically 3-5x faster than local rendering.
4. When complete, the file downloads automatically or you can grab it from your project dashboard.

Cloud Render Tiers

Cloud Render Workflow

1. Select preset — Choose your export format and resolution as normal.
2. Enable Cloud Render — Toggle the cloud switch in the export dialog.
3. Choose tier — Select Standard, Priority, or Turbo based on urgency.
4. Upload — AIVE ONE Beta uploads only the assets needed for the render (smart delta sync).
5. Monitor — Track progress in the Export Queue panel or via push notification.
6. Download — Auto-download to your chosen output folder, or access from the cloud dashboard.

Batch Export

Export multiple formats from the same timeline in one pass. Useful when you need the same content for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok simultaneously.

Setting Up Batch Export

1. In the Export dialog, click Add Destination to add multiple export presets.
2. Each destination can have its own preset, resolution, and codec settings.
3. Optionally set different in/out ranges per destination to export clips from specific sections.
4. Configure output folder and file naming pattern for each destination.
5. Click Export All to render all destinations. They process sequentially to manage system resources.

Batch Naming Patterns

Use these tokens in your file naming template:

• {project} — Project name
• {preset} — Preset name (e.g. "YouTube_4K")
• {date} — Export date in DD-MM-YYYY format
• {resolution} — Output resolution (e.g. "1920x1080")
• {sequence} — Auto-incrementing number

Batch export is available on all plans, including the free tier. Cloud batch rendering (processing all destinations in parallel on the cloud) is available on Pro and Team plans.

Delivery Checklist

Before exporting your final deliverable, run through this checklist to catch common issues.

Video Quality

• Timeline resolution matches your intended delivery resolution
• No black frames or flash frames at edit points
• Color grade reviewed on a calibrated display
• No unintended speed ramps or freeze frames
• Transitions render cleanly (no artefacts at cut points)

Audio Quality

• Audio levels peak below -1 dBFS (no clipping)
• Loudness normalised to target LUFS for your platform
• No pops, clicks, or unintended silence gaps
• Music and SFX levels balanced against dialogue
• Audio sync verified across entire timeline

Metadata & Subtitles

• Subtitles/captions proofread and timed correctly
• Subtitle format matches platform requirements (SRT, VTT, or burn-in)
• Chapter markers set (if exporting for YouTube)
• Project metadata (title, description) populated

Technical Compliance

• File size within platform upload limits
• Codec and container compatible with target platform
• Frame rate matches source or platform requirements
• Aspect ratio correct for delivery (16:9, 9:16, 1:1)
• HDR metadata present if delivering HDR content
