Exporting and sharing
Resolutions, frame rates, and formats — including the transparent export that lets a chart sit over footage in an editor.
Resolution and frame rate
Match resolution to where the video is going. 1080p is right for almost everything; higher resolutions cost render time and produce larger files without helping on the phone screens where most viewers watch.
Frame rate matters more than resolution for how the result feels. 30 fps is fine for a slow race; 60 fps is noticeably smoother for fast motion and zoom, and is available on paid plans.
Formats
MP4 is the general-purpose choice and plays everywhere.
WebM is smaller at equivalent quality and suits embedding on the web.
Transparent WebP is the one worth knowing about: it exports with an alpha channel, so the chart can be dropped straight onto other footage in a video editor with no background. If your team produces edited video rather than standalone clips, this is the export they want, and it is easy to miss.
Plan limits
The limits are worth knowing before planning a series, because two of them constrain what you can produce rather than just how it looks.
Free — videos up to 3 minutes at 30 fps, a 30-minute monthly export budget, MP4 only, and a small watermark.
Pro — videos up to 20 minutes, 60 fps, unlimited monthly exports, MP4 / WebM / transparent WebP, no watermark, live collaboration, and 100 GB of storage.
The monthly export budget is the one teams hit first. Every render counts against it, including the ones you discard — which is another reason to check a project in preview before committing to it.
For a team evaluating the product, render one real project on the free plan first. It is the fastest way to confirm the output meets your standard before committing to seats.
Sharing and embedding
Besides downloading the file, a project can be shared by link or embedded in a page — useful for circulating a draft internally without moving a large video around.
Rendering happens on our servers, so a long export continues if you close the tab. You do not need to leave the browser open waiting for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does our export look different from the preview?
The preview is optimised for responsiveness and may simplify some effects; the render is authoritative. If something looks wrong in the final file that looked right in preview, re-check it in a short test render rather than the timeline.
How long should a chart video be?
Between thirty seconds and three minutes for most purposes — longer races tend to lose viewers before the interesting overtakes happen. Three minutes is also the free plan's hard cap; Pro raises it to twenty. If your data spans decades, shortening the per-period duration usually beats letting the video run long.
Can we render the same project at several sizes?
Changing the canvas size means repositioning layers, so the practical approach for landscape plus vertical versions is to build one, clone it, and adapt the clone's layout.
