Export

Video, GIF, captions and step-by-step guides, with presets for YouTube, LinkedIn, Shorts and more.

Export a video

The ZumCast Export window: a preview with length, file size, frame size and time to export; destination presets for YouTube, YouTube 4K, X, LinkedIn, Shorts and Reels, GIF for docs and Master file; format, aspect ratio, resolution, frame rate and codec; and caption file buttons.
Pick where it’s going, or set everything yourself.

Press ⌘E or Export. Pick a destination and ZumCast sets the rest:

Or choose yourself: MP4, MOV or GIF; 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 4:3 or the source shape; 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K; 30 or 60 fps; H.264 (plays everywhere) or HEVC (about half the size). The window shows the length, file size and how long it will take.

GIFs can be 480 to 1280 px wide at 10, 15 or 24 fps, up to 60 seconds. You can keep working while it exports.

Caption files

Press Export SRT… or Export VTT… to save captions, including translated languages, as separate files for YouTube and other players.

Export all

Export all (⇧⌘E) makes one file for every version in one go, named like “Title – 9:16.mp4”. Choose the resolution, codec and frame rate, optionally a GIF of each version, and whether to brand them with your default kit.

PRO
Export all is part of Pro.

Step-by-step guides

Every click becomes a guide step with a picture. With Accessibility allowed, steps get real names like “Click Save”. Open Guide in the Studio to edit the words, reorder or hide steps, and blur a step.

  • Export as a Markdown folder, an HTML page, a PDF or an interactive demo (an HTML page viewers click through).
  • Copy as Markdown for Notion or GitHub, or Copy as rich text for Confluence or Google Docs.
