Quality presets, encoding, and queue

Tune output size and clarity, monitor the encode queue, and manage GIF versions per project.

Overview

GIF export is split into two parts: choosing output quality, then monitoring the asynchronous encode process.

Included presets

Preset	FPS	Width	Colour matrix
Low	8	480	Colours64
Medium	12	640	Colours128
High	18	800	Full
Best	24	1080	Full

Why presets matter

These presets simplify a notoriously finicky format. Most users can start with Medium or High and get a strong result without manually balancing size and fidelity.

Queue behavior

Encoded GIFs are processed asynchronously. The queue page shows:

Queued jobs
Active jobs with progress and step name
Completed jobs with timing
Failed jobs with the error text

Encode queue page with an active encoding job and progress bar — The queue page streams active encode progress with a live percentage and progress bar, so you can monitor jobs without staying in the editor.

Immediate result in the editor

When the encoder finishes, the editor opens a post-encode modal with the newly generated GIF so you can confirm the result right away.

Editor showing the completed GIF in the post-encode modal — As soon as encoding completes, the editor shows the new GIF in a modal with direct actions to download it or jump to the full version history.

Version management

Every encoded output becomes a version attached to the project. That lets you compare, play back, and download multiple exports from the same editing session.

Project details version list — Project details keeps each GIF version attached to the same project so you can compare and download outputs.

From the project details page you can:

play a GIF inline before you commit to it
download a specific version directly
remove versions you no longer want to keep
