Export your video

Once a workflow has built your project (and any remix actions have finished), export it to an MP4. The export runs asynchronously: start it, poll until it finishes, then download from the returned URL.

Export and download

Start the export, then poll until status is succeeded. The SDK helpers pollProjectExport (TS) and poll_project_export (Python) loop for you and return the downloadUrl.

1
import { VideoGenClient, pollProjectExport } from "@videogen/sdk";
2
3
const client = new VideoGenClient({ token: process.env.VIDEOGEN_API_KEY });
4
5
const { exportId } = await client.projects.exportProject({ projectId });
6
7
const projectExport = await pollProjectExport(client, projectId, exportId);
8
console.log(projectExport.status, projectExport.downloadUrl);

Each poll response includes progressPercentage (0-100) for the current attempt, so you can render a live progress bar. The downloadUrl is present once status is succeeded.

Managing projects

The Projects API also lets you list and inspect projects:

• Embedding videos: Make a file publicly streamable and embed it with the VideoGen player.
• Handling async tasks: Poll or use webhooks for export completion.
