## Overview

When Reap generates clips, you see a fast, low-resolution preview first. **Exporting** renders the final video file at your chosen resolution. Once a clip is exported, you can download it or publish it right away.

## Export A Single Clip

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the clips page">
    Open the project that contains your clips.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Export">
    Click **Export** under the clip. Its status changes to **Exporting…**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download when it's ready">
    When the export finishes, the clip shows **Ready to download** and the button changes to **Download**. Click it to save the video.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can also export from the editor: click **Export** in the top right corner. If you've made changes, save them first. Reap reminds you with **Export started. Save your latest changes before leaving.**

## Export Or Download Several Clips At Once

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the clips">
    Tick the checkbox on each clip you want, or click **Select all** to pick every clip.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an action">
    * **Export** renders every selected clip.
    * **Download** saves the selected exported clips as a single **zip archive**.
    * **Publish** opens publishing for all selected clips.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## About The 480p Preview

Clips play as a **480p preview** before they're exported, so you can review them quickly. This preview is not the final quality. The exported file uses the resolution set for the project (720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K, depending on your plan). You can change the export resolution in the editor from **Timeline settings**. See [Timeline Settings](/help-center/timeline-settings).

## What To Know

* You don't have to export a clip before you schedule it. Reap exports scheduled clips automatically before they post. See [Why the "Publish" Button Is Disabled for Un Exported Clips](/help-center/why-the-publish-button-is-disabled-for-un-exported-clips).
* While a clip is exporting, you can't duplicate or delete it. Wait for the export to finish.
* If you edit a clip after exporting it, export it again so the download and any published posts use your latest version.
