Share Video
Once an export finishes, you can paste it, drag it or send it through the macOS share sheet. By default, files are saved in the Movies folder. In the interface, sharing starts from the thumbnail shown after export and from the Export History window.
1. Export and paste
Press ⇧⌘C to export and copy to the clipboard, then switch to your chat or email and press ⌘V. This is the fastest way to send a short video.
2. Drag or use the share sheet
After export, drag the thumbnail into the target window, or click Share to open the macOS share sheet and send via AirDrop, Messages, Mail and more. See After-Export Quick Actions.
3. Find an earlier export
Open File > Export History… and click Copy File or Show in Finder on any entry.
4. Pick the right format before sending
- Chat and email: use the Web Sharing or Small File preset for smaller files.
- Docs and bug reports: use a GIF for short loops.
- Client delivery: open the file and check it before sending, and keep the local copy.
If the thumbnail or share sheet offers cloud upload, you can upload the file and copy a share link. If the upload fails, check your network and that the file is still where it was saved.
