Export

Export Formats Overview

Linearity Move supports three primary export formats

  • MP4: Ideal for high-quality video content.
  • MOV: A great choice for Apple ecosystems and professional workflows.
  • GIF: Perfect for quick, shareable animations with smaller file sizes.

  • Transparent Background: Enable or disable transparency depending on your project’s requirements.
    If your transparent background isn’t showing correctly after export, it's often has to do with the program you are importing into vs the file. Some workarounds:
    ‎
    ‎For Adobe After Effects:
    1. Export your video with the transparent background option enabled.
    2. Locate the exported file, then right-click on it and choose "Encode Selected Video Files".
    3. In the pop-up dialog, change the "Setting" to Apple ProRes.
    4. Ensure "Preserve Transparency" is checked
    5. Click Continue. A new version of the file will be created.
    6. This new file should retain the transparent background when opened in supported software.

    For other programs exporting as .GIF transparency background also works.

  • Video Codec Options: By default, Linearity Move uses AVC/H.264, but you can switch to HEVC/H.265 for better compression and quality balance.
