Export films to a folder
Copy a finished film and its extras out of the project to any folder, or open them where they are.
A built film lives in its project, in films/<film>/out/. To hand it to someone or drop it into another tool, copy it out to a folder.
Before you start
- A built film: Build a film.
In the terminal
Copy the film to a folder:
showreel publish compose --to ~/Desktop/filmsThis copies whichever of these exist:
- the wide film (
.mp4); - the silent capture (
-capture.mp4); - the GIF;
- the contact sheet, renamed with the film's name.
The folder is made if it does not exist. The command lists every file it copied.
In the app
The Files panel on a film's page lists every output under Outputs, including the square, vertical and portrait cuts, the subtitles, the transcript and the walkthrough. Click Open beside any of them to view or save it.
The films list also has Play on each built film.
Everything else in the out folder
Anything publish does not copy is still in the film's out folder. Below, <name> is the film's Output name from the Film panel.
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
<name>-square.mp4, -vertical.mp4, -portrait.mp4 | The other shapes. |
<name>.vtt, .srt | Subtitles. |
<name>.txt | The transcript. |
<name>-walkthrough.html | The walkthrough page. |
verify.json | The checks' report. |
frames/ | The start and end frame of each shot. |
A cut for an audience has its own folder inside out, named after the audience. See Make a cut for an audience.
