# Export and share

> Check a project, render it through Studio, an agent, or the CLI, and review the finished file before sharing.

Finish the same project through Studio, your agent, or the command line. Choose the surface that fits how you are already working.

## 1. Watch and check the project

Watch the complete video once before rendering. Check the opening, every scene boundary, captions, important media, and the audio ending.

Run the project checks from Studio, ask the agent to run them, or use:

```bash theme={null}
npx hyperframes lint
npx hyperframes check
```

`lint` checks the composition structure. `check` opens the project in a browser and catches runtime, layout, motion, and contrast problems.

## 2. Render the version

### Ask the agent

```text theme={null}
Run the HyperFrames checks, fix any failures, and render an MP4 to video.mp4.
```

This is useful when a failure requires a source change or you want the agent to manage the complete finish.

### Use Studio

Open **Export**, choose the required format and resolution, then start the render. The Renders panel shows progress and keeps completed versions available to download.

### Use the CLI

```bash theme={null}
npx hyperframes render --output video.mp4
```

Use the CLI for a direct local render, scripts, CI, or repeatable batches.

## 3. Choose the file the destination needs

MP4 at the authored resolution is the normal finished-video choice. Use another format only when the next tool or platform requires it.

| Need                                    | Good starting choice                                  |
| --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Upload or share a normal finished video | MP4                                                   |
| Keep transparency for an overlay        | WebM or MOV with a compatible alpha workflow          |
| Continue editing in another video tool  | High-quality MOV or the format requested by that tool |
| Deliver a high-resolution master        | 4K preset                                             |

Increasing the output resolution does not repair low-resolution source media. Changing frame rate does not improve motion that was authored for a different cadence.

## 4. Review the exported file

Open the rendered file itself rather than relying on the Studio preview.

* Watch the first and final seconds.
* Check captions, cuts, and the most complex transition.
* Listen for clipped narration, late sound effects, or an abrupt music ending.
* Confirm the duration, dimensions, and file format.
* Use a filename that identifies the project and version.

## 5. Share the right thing

Send the finished file when someone only needs to watch or publish it.

Publish the project when someone needs a stable browser link to the current version:

```bash theme={null}
npx hyperframes publish
```

Keep the source project when another agent, developer, or editor must continue the work.
