Export

Luffy Editor exports your project as a video (MP4) or as still images (PNG or WebP). Click Export in the left sidebar to open the export panel.

Video Export — MP4

Renders every scene in sequence, bakes all animations and transitions, and produces a single MP4 file.

Steps

  1. Click Export → select Video (MP4)
  2. Review the summary: dimensions, FPS, duration, total frames, estimated size
  3. Choose a quality preset (720p / 1080p)
  4. Click Export Video
  5. A save dialog opens — choose a location and filename
  6. A progress bar shows percentage + current status
  7. When complete, the file is ready at the chosen path

Quality Presets

Preset Output Resolution Notes
720p 1280 × 720 (scaled) Smaller file, faster export
1080p 1920 × 1080 (scaled) Full HD; recommended for final delivery

The canvas is scaled proportionally to the chosen resolution regardless of the original canvas size preset.

Cancelling

Click Cancel during export to stop rendering. Partial output is discarded.

Requirements

Luffy Editor uses FFmpeg bundled with the app. No additional software needs to be installed.

Image Export — PNG / WebP

Exports a single scene as a still image at the canvas’s native resolution.

Steps

  1. Click Export → select Image (PNG) or Image (WebP)
  2. Use the scene dropdown to select which scene to capture
  3. Click Export Image
  4. A save dialog opens — the default filename includes the project and scene name
  5. After saving, an Open Folder button appears to reveal the file in Explorer

Capture time

The snapshot is taken at the point when all On Enter animations have finished — so the scene appears fully revealed, not mid-animation.

Export Metadata Panel

Before exporting you can review:

Field Value
Canvas Size original project dimensions (e.g. 1080 × 1920)
Export Resolution scaled output dimensions
FPS frames per second
Duration total scene duration in seconds
Total Frames FPS × duration
Estimated Size rough file size estimate

Tips

Keep scenes short for faster iteration — a 10 s scene at 30 FPS = 300 frames. Export 1 scene at a time to check output before rendering the full project.

Use 1080p for final delivery — most platforms (YouTube, LinkedIn, educational sites) accept 1920×1080. Use 720p for quick drafts or sharing in chat.

PNG vs WebP for images — WebP produces smaller files with equivalent quality. Use PNG when lossless fidelity is required (e.g. for print or further editing).

Check the FPS setting — the project FPS (set on the project) affects how smoothly animations render. 30 FPS is standard; 60 FPS produces smoother motion at the cost of double the frame count.
