Exporting time in Minvo depends on several factors. Here’s what you need to know about the typical time it takes to export a video.


Factors That Affect Export Time

1️⃣ Video Length

  • Shorter videos (under 1 minute) typically export in a few seconds to 1-2 minutes.

  • Longer videos (5+ minutes) may take several minutes to process.

2️⃣ Editing Complexity

  • Videos with multiple effects, B-rolls, animations, and transitions may take longer due to rendering.

3️⃣ Export Resolution

  • Higher resolutions like 1080p or 4K take more time compared to 720p or lower.

  • Remember: Minvo will only export up to the original resolution of your video.

4️⃣ Server Load

  • During peak times, exports might take a little longer due to high demand.


Typical Export Duration

  • Basic shorts (under 1 min, minimal edits): 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

  • Medium-length edits (1–5 min, moderate edits): 2–5 minutes.

  • Longer, complex projects (5+ min, heavy edits): 5–10+ minutes.


Tips to Speed Up Exporting

  • Keep your video length and resolution in mind.

  • Minimize unnecessary effects if you're in a rush.

  • Ensure your media files are valid—invalid media can delay exports.


Still Waiting Too Long?

If your export seems stuck or is taking longer than expected, try the following:

  • Refresh the page.

  • Clear your browser cache.

  • Re-export the project.

And if the issue persists, reach out to Minvo Support for help.
