Export

For best results, we recommend exporting with the same settings as your original video. To check your original file settings:

iOS

1. Open the Photos app
2. Find your original video.
3. Swipe the video up to view the details.

Mac

1. Open the video in Quicktime
2. Click Window from the top navigation
3. Click Show Movie Inspector

HDR stands for “high dynamic range” and many cameras let you capture video with this setting enabled. Wwhen you shoot with HDR, your camera will take multiple recordings at different exposures and blend them together to create a final result that has more details. If you notice any issues with your exported video, try disabling HDR when exporting.

Simply put, bitrate refers to the amount of information or data contained in your video, per second. A lower bitrate has less information and a higher bitrate has more information. We recommend using the Auto option, but you can change the bitrate information to purposely decrease or increase the exported file size.

When you export a project from Captions, it may be exported in a different file format than the original file. It’s important to know that smaller file sizes don’t necessarily mean lower quality and if you are importing to social, many platforms compress your file anyway.

We don’t offer a free version of Captions and you must be actively subscribed or in a trial in order to export.
