Export settings

Export settings can make or break refinement results. The goal is to preserve quality while meeting platform constraints.

Images

  • Web: use modern formats when possible (WebP/AVIF) and keep file size reasonable.
  • Transparency: use a format that supports alpha when needed (PNG/WebP).
  • Avoid repeated JPEG saves: multiple saves compound artifacts.

Video

  • Export a high-quality upload master: platforms will compress again.
  • Avoid multiple resizes: resize once to the target aspect ratio and resolution.
  • Keep framerate consistent: mismatches can create jitter and artifacts.

Audio

  • Speech clarity: use a format/bitrate appropriate for your platform.
  • Avoid unnecessary re-encoding: repeated compression can add artifacts.

Text

  • Preserve structure: headings, lists, and code blocks should survive copy/paste.
  • Keep canonical terminology: match product names and glossary terms.

Quick guidance

  • If the destination re-compresses (social video, some podcast hosts): export higher-quality than final delivery.
  • If the destination is archival: export a master you can reuse without quality loss.
