Exports and downloads
Export an MP4 or download your project's script, images, clips, and references.
Choose the download that matches what you need.
| You need | Where to go |
|---|---|
| A finished MP4 of the timeline | Export in the Editor. |
| The project's source files in a ZIP archive | Download project assets in the project navigation. |
Export the finished film
- Open the Editor and click Export.
- Check the output dimensions, duration, and any in/out range.
- Resolve errors listed under Export check.
- Click Export to start rendering.
The render runs on Sundream's servers. The panel shows progress and lets you cancel. When the render finishes, the MP4 downloads automatically while the page is open; use the download button if it doesn't start.
You can leave the page during the render and return to the Editor to check its status. The timeline needs visual media to export. If the export queue is full, wait for an existing job to finish or cancel one you no longer need.
Download the source files
Click the download icon labeled Download project assets in the project navigation. Choose the categories to include, then click Download. Available categories are selected by default.
| Category | Files included |
|---|---|
| Video clips | Generated scene clips. |
| Storyboard frames | Scene images. |
| Character references | Character reference images and attachments. |
| Location references | Location reference images and attachments. |
| Product references | Prop and product reference images and attachments. |
| Style references | Images attached as project style references. |
| Script | The screenplay as plain text. |
| Project data | Scene, cast, and project settings as JSON. |
The ZIP uses your project's name and groups files into folders. For example:
night-train/
clips/01-arrival.mp4
frames/01-arrival.png
characters/june.png
locations/station.png
products/letter.png
style/style-ref-1.jpg
night-train-script.txt
night-train-project.jsonThe script includes scene headings, action, and attributed dialogue. Project JSON contains structured data for backup or use in another tool. Review the contents before sharing; the files still include your story and media references even though workspace and account identifiers are removed.
If a download fails
The source archive is built in your browser. Keep the page open until it finishes. For a large project, download clips separately from images and text to reduce memory use.
If some files can't be fetched, Sundream downloads the rest and reports how many were missed. Retry the affected categories after checking your connection.
