Export formats

Video

• H.264

  • The default choice for video exports. Choose VP9 instead if you need alpha transparency support.

• Pro Res

  • For video editing and post-production. Fable can export ProRes Proxy, LT, Standard, HQ, 4444, and 4444XQ.

• VP9

  • Ideal for webpage embedding. Used by YouTube for 1440p and 4K videos.

• H.265

  • Good for smaller file sizes with maintained quality. Only some browsers/devices support it.

• AV1

  • Newest codec for smaller files without sacrificing quality. Many browsers/devices don’t yet support it.

• WebM

  • Open video format for multimedia content. Stores files according to compression standards to optimize online streaming.

Vector Animation - Lottie

• Export Lottie JSON files for web pages or apps.

Image

For a GIF, a single-frame image, or an image sequence.

• GIF

  • Share clips and animations. Does not support alpha transparency/more than 256 colors per frame.

• PNG

  • Similar to animated GIFs, but does support alpha transparency/more than 256 colors per frame.

• WebP

  • Smallest animated files with full color and transparency support. Widely supported.

While GIFs support transparent backgrounds, they do not support semi-transparency. So, if your project has some layers that are not 100% opacity, use an alternate format.

FAQs

How do I export something with a transparent background?

• Turn off the canvas background in Project Settings.

• Choose a format supporting transparency: VP9, ProRes 4444, or PNG. If your canvas background is turned off, the automatic preset will export a VP9 file.

How do I export a video with alpha?

• Turn off the canvas background in Project Settings.

• Choose a format supporting alpha channel data: Prores 4444, VP9, GIF, or Lottie; Prores would be our recommendation.
