Why does the preview look or sound different from the export?

The preview is a fast browser version; some details only appear in the render.

1 min read · Updated Sep 14, 2026

The editor preview plays your clips live in the browser so you can edit instantly. The export is rendered on our servers.

Small differences are normal:

  • Sound fade-out at the end is only in the rendered video.
  • Transitions can look slightly smoother in the render.
  • Playback of large original files may stutter in the preview but not in the export.

Text position, size, font and outline match the render.
