Exporting your project

When the editing is done, the Export button in the top right corner of the editor is the way out: download the finished video with subtitles burned in, or just the transcript in the format you need. This guide walks through both paths — and what happens automatically once an export completes.

Video or transcript?

The export dialog opens with a simple choice. Video renders your full composition — footage, subtitles, styling, animations, every element on the timeline — into a finished MP4. Transcript skips rendering entirely and gives you the subtitle text as a file, instantly.

Exporting the video

Pick a Video quality: five tiers from Decent (fastest export) up to Excellent (highest fidelity, slower render). Decent is available on every plan; the higher tiers unlock with Inwista Lite and Inwista Pro. If your project has translations, a Subtitle language selector chooses which language gets burned in — the original or any completed translation.

The Save to selector decides where the finished video goes. This device is the classic path: click Render, watch the progress ring, and the download starts by itself the moment the render finishes. Pick cloud destinations instead — Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and the rest of your connected integrations — and the dialog closes immediately: the render and delivery finish server-side with no need to keep the window open. You can also combine both.

On the free plan, exports carry a small watermark — the Show watermark toggle unlocks on Inwista Lite and higher. And a time-saver worth knowing: if you re-export a version that's already been rendered, Inwista serves the existing render instantly instead of rendering again.

Exporting the transcript

The Transcript tab downloads your subtitle text without any rendering. Choose among eight formats: SRT and VTT for subtitles, TTML for broadcast workflows, TXT, HTML, CSV, DOCX and PDF for documents and data. The Include speakers toggle adds speaker labels for projects transcribed with speaker recognition, and the language selector picks the original or any translation.

The same Save to logic applies here: This device downloads the file straight away, cloud destinations deliver it into your connected storage — or both at once.

What happens automatically

Finishing an export can set more in motion than a download. If your workspace has storage integrations with automatic delivery enabled, the rendered video and current subtitle files are delivered to those destinations on every export — no selection needed in the dialog. A connected webhook receives an export.completed event, and Slack posts to your channel if you've set that up. See the Integrations section for all of it.

One more thing worth knowing: exports render whatever version of the project is currently loaded. Rolled back to an earlier revision? That's what gets rendered — which means you can export any historical state of your project (see Revisions & rollback).
