# Export Video

> Generate final videos from your projects — choose frame rate, resolution, and manage multiple versions.

Section: Docs › Publishing

The Generate function finalizes your project into a publish-ready video. Choose frame rate and resolution, manage multiple versions, and continue working while the video renders in the background.

## Generating a video

Open the **Share** menu and configure:

![](https://www.tutorial.ai/images/help/help-9939491-Screenshot_2026-03-30_at_17_27_11.8999a40f.png)

- **Title** — shown on the share page and in social previews
- **Frame Rate** — 30 FPS (standard) or 60 FPS (smoother motion)
- **Video Quality** — 1080p (Full HD) or 4K (ultra-high-definition)

Click **Generate video** to start rendering. You'll be redirected to the dashboard where a thumbnail shows progress and estimated time remaining.

> **Tip:** You can continue working on other projects while the video generates in the background.

> **Caution:** Each video you generate counts toward your plan's generated-video minutes quota. Recording, editing, and downloading don't use minutes — only generating a video does. Regenerating the video (e.g. after editing the script) counts as fresh minutes.

## Managing versions

Once generated, a movie icon appears next to the project and it's listed under **Generated videos**.

- Use the **dropdown menu** next to the project title to switch between versions
- Click the **play button** to watch any version
- Click **Open in Editor** to return to editing (disabled while generating)

## Downloading a cover image

You can save any frame as a thumbnail for YouTube or other platforms:

1. Play the video to the frame you want

2. Pause at the exact moment

3. Right-click the video preview and select **Download frame**. To paste the frame somewhere instead, choose **Copy frame**.

This works on slides too, so a title slide can make a good cover image.

> **Tip:** Use keyboard arrow keys (← →) after pausing to move frame-by-frame for precise selection. Avoid frames with motion blur.
