SceneLoft Export project window with presets, formats and range controls

Export is selection-aware. Choose a project for one shot or a composition for a linked sequence before opening the movable, resizable Export window.

Open the export window

Select a project or composition, then press Export in the top-right. The shortcut is Shift + Cmd + E on macOS or Shift + Ctrl + E elsewhere. The button is disabled when no valid delivery target is selected.

The window title says Export project or Export composition. Drag its title bar to move it and drag any border or corner to resize it.

Floating Export project window in SceneLoft — Export remains above the editor without displacing the canvas or docks.

Start from a delivery preset

Search the preset list and choose a common landscape, portrait, square or social destination. The preset fills width, height, FPS and the intended range policy.

For PNG, choose 1x through 4x scale when the resulting dimensions remain inside the edition and renderer limits. Width and height remain directly editable.

Export presets and PNG scale controls — The export form keeps its selected format and numerical settings visible.

Choose the format

Use this matrix as the stable delivery rule. Vector formats can report compatibility warnings when a document contains effects outside their supported subset.

Format	Motion	Alpha	Best use
PNG	Still image	Full	Thumbnails, stills and frame delivery
GIF	Yes	Binary	Short loops and broad compatibility
MP4 / H.264	Yes	No	Social, review and ordinary playback
MOV / ProRes 4444	Yes	Full	Post-production and transparent overlays
WebM / VP9	Yes	Full	Web motion and transparent overlays
SVG	Static sample	Vector	Editable vector handoff
Lottie JSON	Supported subset	Vector	App and web vector animation

Export a composition

Select the composition to export the complete linked project chain. Composition delivery supports GIF, MP4, ProRes 4444 and WebM because these formats represent continuous time.

PNG still, SVG and Lottie are project targets. Select one project when you need one of those outputs.

Set time and quality

Range start and end define the delivered interval, while FPS controls how many frames are sampled each second. Check project duration and playback before starting a long render.

Projects containing 3D can enable Ray traced rendering for raster or video formats. Samples trade render time for cleaner noise; Denoise helps low-sample animation output.

Know the edition boundary

Demo export is usable but includes a SceneLoft watermark and a 1080p raster or video limit. Founder removes that watermark and unlocks the paid delivery capabilities shown by the current license.

The export window only shows formats available to the active edition, so the visible format control is the final authority for that installation.

Demo watermark notice at the top of the export window — The edition notice appears before export settings, not after a long render.
