Export several languages at once and make a smaller file

First check that the languages you want to export are ready. In this screenshot the language box at the upper right is showing English, and the speech clips hold the English sentences.

1. 1Check the language box at the upper right. It switches between Japanese (source) and English.
2. 2Check that the avatar clip shows Preview generated. Switch the language box between Japanese (source) and English and look at it in both languages.
3. 3Check that Saved (auto-save) is shown at the lower right.

   Check Check the language box at the upper right. It switches between Japanese (source) and English.
2. 2
   Check Check that the avatar clip shows Preview generated. Switch the language box between Japanese (source) and English and look at it in both languages.
3. 3
   Check Check that Saved (auto-save) is shown at the lower right.

Check In this example both the Japanese and the English video were generated before going on. The next dialog states that a language with pending avatar clips is generated before its export and that this uses credits. Batch-exporting with a pending language is not demonstrated in this guide.

In a project with an added language, the Output menu lists Batch export video.

1. 1Click Output in the menu at the top.
2. 2Click Batch export video (export the language versions together).

1. 1
   Action Click Output in the menu at the top.
2. 2
   Action Click Batch export video (export the language versions together).

Check Export video at the top exports only the language currently displayed. In a Japanese-only project the menu has just Export video and Exported videos.

The Batch export video (languages) dialog opens. Here you choose the languages and start them together.

1. 1Read the note at the top: for each selected language, pending avatar clips are generated first and then the video is exported.
2. 2Check that both Japanese (source) and English are ticked. Both show Not exported yet.
3. 3Click Batch export video (2 languages) at the lower right.

   Check Read the note at the top: for each selected language, pending avatar clips are generated first and then the video is exported.
2. 2
   Check Check that both Japanese (source) and English are ticked. Both show Not exported yet.
3. 3
   Action Click Batch export video (2 languages) at the lower right.

Check Untick a language you do not want to export. Current export settings, just below the note, shows the seconds for fade-in and fade-out, which gradually brighten the start and darken the end of the video. This example was exported with both at 0.0 seconds (no fade). Open Export settings on the right first if you want to change them. Batch export with changed fade values was not demonstrated for this guide; the MP4 export guide shows how to set fades.

When the export starts, the same dialog turns into a progress display. This screenshot was taken about three seconds after the start.

1. 1Read the note at the top: the export continues in the background even if you close this dialog or the browser.
2. 2The row of each language shows which one is being exported. Here Japanese (source) says Exporting.
3. 3The Overall bar and number show the progress across all languages. It reads 35% here.

Check In this example we kept the dialog open, and both languages finished in under a minute. The wait depends on the length of the video, the number of languages and how busy the service is. Stop at the lower left cancels the export; it was not pressed in this example.

When it finishes, each language row shows Play and Download.

1. 1Check that both Japanese (source) and English say Export finished.
2. 2Click Play in a language row, starting with the Japanese (source) row. A player with the finished video opens.

2. 2
   Action Click Play in a language row, starting with the Japanese (source) row. A player with the finished video opens.

Check The right side of Overall says there are 2 videos. After closing this dialog, reopening it from Output → Batch export video showed the same finished state.

This is the finished Japanese video: the exported MP4 itself, not the editor preview. The screenshot shows it after playing to the end.

1. 1The time reads 0:13 / 0:13, which tells you the video played to the end.
2. 2When you have finished checking, click Close below the video to return to the batch export dialog.

2. 2
   Action When you have finished checking, click Close below the video to return to the batch export dialog.

Check In the same way, play the English row to the end. Both the Japanese and the English version of this example are about 13.5 seconds long. Listen to the translated pronunciation and the volume where you can play sound.

Closing the player returns you to the batch export dialog. From here, save the exported MP4 files to your computer. Finishing the export does not yet save them on your computer.

1. 1Click Download all (2) at the lower left. It is meant to save every exported video together, and the number in brackets is the number of videos. In this demonstration only the Japanese file was saved after pressing it.
2. 2For a language that was not saved, click Download at the right of its row. In this demonstration that was English.
3. 3The Japanese (source) row has the same Download button. In this demonstration the Japanese file had already been saved with Download all, so this button was not pressed.

3. 3
   Check The Japanese (source) row has the same Download button. In this demonstration the Japanese file had already been saved with Download all, so this button was not pressed.

Check Files saved from this dialog were named in the form “export date_project name_日本語.mp4” and “export date_project name_英語.mp4”. Open the download folder and check that there is one file per language. In this demonstration, after Download all, pressing Download in the English row on the same screen did not save the English file. After reloading the page in the browser and reopening Output → Batch export video (it still showed the finished state), Download in the English row saved the file. If a file is not saved in the same way, reload the page and try again. You can also save it from Exported videos, described from the next step.

Videos exported in a batch can also be played and downloaded later from Exported videos. The option for making a smaller file is in the same dialog.

1. 1Close the batch export dialog, then click Output at the top.
2. 2Click Exported videos (Play and download).

Check When we opened it here in this example, it showed the Japanese (original language) video, as in the next screenshot. You can switch to another language inside the dialog.

This is the Exported videos dialog, showing the Japanese video. When there are several languages, an Other languages row is added.

1. 1Check the playback language, the export date and the size. Here it is Japanese (the original language) and 1.4 MB.
2. 2Click English next to Other languages to switch to the English video.

Check Playback language tells you which language you are looking at. Check it before downloading so that the right file goes to the right audience.

This is the dialog after pressing English. The video and the details below it now belong to the English version.

1. 1Check that Playback language now says English and Other languages says Japanese. The export date is that of the English video.
2. 2Click the blue Download button. The MP4 of the language now displayed is saved.

2. 2
   Action Click the blue Download button. The MP4 of the language now displayed is saved.

Check The English file saved from this dialog had a name starting with “motionvox_” and ending with “_英語.mp4”. Its content was identical to the English file saved from the batch export dialog.

From here we use Also make another size, which helps when the destination has a size limit. With the Japanese video displayed, we set the limit to 1 MB.

1. 1Read the note beside Also make another size: the original video is kept, and you can make the smaller one again as often as you like.
2. 2Enter 1 in the Limit field. The unit is MB and the smallest value is 1. The field showed 5 when the dialog opened.
3. 3Click Make.

Check What happens when the limit is larger than the original file was not checked for this guide. The original of this example is 1.4 MB, so we chose the smaller limit of 1 MB.

A few seconds after pressing Make, the result appeared below the field.

1. 1Size at the top still says 1.4 MB: the original video has not been replaced.
2. 2A new row shows Under 1 MB, 967.8 KB, 360p and the time it was made. The picture was made smaller to fit under the limit.
3. 3Click Download at the right of the row to save the smaller video.

For a project with text or fine diagrams, play the smaller video to check that it is still readable. Delete, in red just to the right of Download, removes the smaller video; it was not pressed in this example. Doing the same for the English video was not checked for this guide.
