Multi-Format Export
Export to Any Platform, in Any Format
Different platforms have different requirements. YouTube wants MP4. Social stories want vertical WebM. Accessibility teams want SRT files. CutSnap exports to every major format from a single project, saving you from running multiple tools or maintaining separate workflows.
Video export options
When you initiate a video export, a settings drawer appears with options for: output format (MP4 or WebM), video codec (H.264, H.265, or VP9), resolution (source, 1080p, 720p, 480p, or custom), target bitrate (in Mbps), audio codec (AAC or Opus), and whether subtitles should be burned into the video or attached as a soft-coded track. Your choices are remembered as defaults for future exports.
Subtitle-only exports
If you only need the caption file — for uploading to a video platform that supports external subtitle tracks, or for providing a transcript to a client — you can export without rendering any video at all. SRT and VTT exports are generated instantly from the caption JSON, with no render queue wait. TXT export produces a clean reading transcript with paragraph breaks at natural pause points.
Batch export for multiple formats
Need the same video in three formats for different distribution channels? Add multiple export jobs from the same project in one go. Each job enters the render queue independently, and you receive a notification when all formats are ready for download. This is especially useful for content teams that post to YouTube (MP4 1080p), Instagram Reels (MP4 720p vertical), and LinkedIn (MP4 720p landscape) simultaneously.
Does CutSnap support vertical (9:16) video export?
Yes. CutSnap preserves your source video's aspect ratio in the export. If you upload a vertical video, the exported file is vertical.
What is the maximum export resolution?
Creator and Pro plans export at 1080p and 30fps, and Studio exports up to 4K. The Free plan exports at 720p and 24fps with a CutSnap watermark. You can upload source footage up to 4K — it is downscaled to the export resolution of your plan.
Can I export the video without subtitles?
Yes. You can export the clean video without any captions, which is useful if you only need the SRT file and want to keep the original video untouched.
Is there a file size limit for exports?
There is no file size limit on exports. The source video upload limit is 4GB per file.
