# Export and share

> Choose a format, render a finished file, or publish a project for review.

For most finished videos, export an MP4 at the project’s original resolution. Choose another format only when the next tool or platform requires it.

Before delivery, watch the export itself. A project can look correct at one preview moment while still containing a late caption, missing media frame, or abrupt ending elsewhere.
