Exporting and sharing

Tap create and the app renders the trimmed clip with the stickers burned in. The bidon fills up as it goes. Then you get the share page.

What’s in the file

The render is a real video file, cycladat_ plus a timestamp, .mp4, at the source video’s resolution. Stickers are rendered per second at the output size, so what you placed on the preview lands at the same relative size and position in 4K as in 1080p.

Two logos are burned in and neither is optional: the Cycladat mark bottom-right on every export, and “Powered by Strava” bottom-left on any ride that came from Strava. That second one is a licence condition rather than a branding choice; there’s a page on it.

Audio is kept. Trimming decides the range; nothing outside the trim is in the file.

While it renders

Rendering a 90-second 4K clip on a phone takes a while and the app has to stay in front. Don’t switch away. Cancel asks you to confirm, then stops the render and puts you back in the editor with everything still placed.

If the render fails you’ll get an error and land back in the editor, again with the stickers intact. Try again; if it fails twice on the same clip, send us a debug report.

The share page

The finished clip loops in the preview; tap it to pause.

• Share opens the phone’s share sheet with the file.
• Instagram sends a video to Reels and a photo to the Feed.
• TikTok shares straight into TikTok on Android. On iOS it opens the system share sheet instead, from which TikTok is one tap away.
• Save writes the file into an album called Cycladat in your photos and confirms.

Underneath: edit goes back to the editor with the stickers where you left them, for another pass at the same ride. new clears everything and takes you back to media selection.

Save before you leave

The export lives in a temporary folder until you save or share it. Leaving the share page, by tapping edit or new, deletes it. So does closing the app. If you want the file, save it first. Re-exporting is only a tap away, but it is a re-render.

Limits

Clips are 3 to 90 seconds. A video shorter than three seconds won’t open in the editor at all, and a longer one has to be trimmed down; see trimming the clip. There’s no cap on how many videos you export.
