Before You Export

Before you can export, make sure your project is ready:

  • All clips must be approved — If any clips are pending review (such as AI-generated videos), you will be prompted to approve them first. Use the "Approve All" button for convenience.
  • No missing media — Replace or remove any clips that show a "Media removed" placeholder.
  • At least one clip — Your timeline needs at least one video or photo clip to export.

Choosing Resolution

In the Export panel, you can choose the output quality:

  • Higher resolution means sharper, more detailed video — but also a larger file size
  • Lower resolution produces a smaller file that downloads faster and takes up less storage
Tip: For listings you will share on social media, mid-range resolution is usually sufficient. For MLS or website use, choose the highest available resolution.

Starting the Export

  1. Open the Export panel from the left sidebar
  2. Configure your resolution settings
  3. Click the Export (or Merge) button to begin
  4. The editor starts combining all your clips, overlays, music, and effects into a single video file
  5. A progress indicator shows how far along the rendering is (as a percentage)
Note: Exporting can take several minutes depending on the length of your video and the resolution you chose. You can continue editing while it processes.

Downloading Your Video

Once the export is complete, a Download button appears. Click it to save the finished video to your device.

Sharing via SMS

ReelVids includes a built-in sharing feature:

  1. After exporting, look for the Share or SMS option
  2. Enter your client's phone number
  3. Send the video link directly to their phone
  4. They can watch the video from any device

Previous Exports

The Export panel keeps a history of your previous exports. You can re-download any earlier version of your video without re-exporting.

Token Cost

Some export features may use tokens from your balance. The token cost is displayed before you start so there are no surprises. If you need more tokens, you can purchase them directly from the editor.
