I'll switch back to the YouTube 1080p HD preset. You can also select a preset by clicking on the preset menu in the item's information. So if I want to export a video that is perfect for uploading to Vimeo, I'll just drag the Vimeo preset from here over to here. To assign a present to an item in the export list, all you do is drag the preset from the right column over to the item in the list. You can create your own presets, as well, but the default ones will probably do the job in most cases. You can use these to export your timeline to a variety of common formats. On the right you can see a list of presets. The thing to realize is that this hasn't exported yet. If this is the first time you've exported anything, there'll just be the one item on the list. On the left, you can see your list of timelines to export. The export screen is split into two columns. Note that at the top of the HitFilm interface, there are several buttons which you can use to switch back and forth between the home, project, edit, and export screens whenever you want. You'll be taken to HitFilm's export screen. Because we want to export right away, click the Go to Export option. You'll see a message pop up that your timeline has been added to the export list. This time around, I'm going to export the entire timeline, so I'll click the Export Content button. It's just like using the trimmer, which we covered earlier in the course. This then defines the section to be exported. Move the play head to the end of the area and click the Set Out Point button. To define the section, you can move the play head to the start of the area you want, then press the Set In Point button on the viewer. The other button is for exporting a specific section of the timeline, which can be useful if you want to just do a small test. This will simply export everything that is on your timeline. Most of the time we'll use the top one, which is called Export Content. On the timeline, you'll find a couple of small film reel icons down at the bottom left. Hopefully you've got some projects of your own by this point to test out the export features of HitFilm. Here I have a sample project to use as an example.

So this chapter is all about how to export your project to a new video file that anybody can watch on any computer. It's not much use if you want to show it to other people. Thus far we've covered how to save your projects, but that means that it only exists inside HitFilm.
