Export MP4 and GIF

Export renders the timeline with every edit applied: zooms, frame, backdrop, camera and captions. Pick MP4 for anywhere a video plays, or GIF for places that autoplay.

Open the export sheet

Choose the Export button at the top right of the editor. The Export button on the card that appears when you stop recording skips the sheet and renders an MP4 at the quality you last picked. The first export asks for your license key; see Activate your license.

The Export sheet with Format set to MP4 and Quality to High: 1080p at 60 fps
Pick a format and a quality; the sheet shows the size before you export.

Format and quality

Choose MP4 or GIF, then a quality. Each step caps the resolution and frame rate, and keeps your recording’s own size when it’s already smaller.

QualityUp toGood for

The table is for MP4; a GIF runs from 480 px wide at 10 fps (Lowest) to 1000 px at 24 fps (Ultra). The sheet shows the resolution and frame rate of your pick, and an estimated file size, before you commit.

Where it lands

Exports go to ~/Movies/Kirocast/Exports. When the sheet reads Exported (Export complete on the card), choose Show in Finder to see the file selected and ready to share.

Beside every export

Kirocast writes an .events.json file next to each video: every click, zoom and effect with its timing. When the recording has a transcript, a .transcript.json joins it. Hand either one to an agent and it can read what the video shows.

Making the video for an agent rather than a person? Export for AI renders a version sized for a model and copies a prompt to go with it.

Less explaining.
More showing.

Your next good idea deserves a clear recording.
