How to export your map animation as a video
Click Export in the top-right corner of the editor, pick a Quality (1080p is the default) and a Frame rate, and click Download. Mappi renders the video in your browser and downloads it as an MP4 file when it’s done.
Step by step
Open Export
Click Export, the filled button in the top-right corner of the editor. The export options open below it.
Choose quality and frame rate
Under Quality, pick 720p, 1080p or 4K (Pro). Under Frame rate, pick 30 fps or 60 fps. 1080p at 60 fps is a great default for most videos.
Download your video
Click Download. Progress shows on the Export button, in a notice at the bottom-right and over the preview. Keep the tab open: the video renders on your device.
Get your MP4
When the notice says MP4 Video ready, the file downloads automatically as mappi-video.mp4. If it doesn’t, click click here in the notice to download it again.
While your video renders
- Stay on the tab for the fastest export. On a computer, if you switch to another tab it still finishes, just a little slower. On a phone, switching to another app can pause it until you come back.
- Closing the notice doesn’t stop the render. To cancel, click Stop rendering in the notice, or the red X next to the Export button.
- Leaving the editor cancels the export.
- The aspect ratio comes from the editor, not the export options. Change the aspect ratio before you export.
See export settings explained for the exact video sizes, and make exports faster if rendering takes long on your computer.
