Export formats and sizes
Every size LimePulse exports, and which platform each one is for. Landscape, vertical and square video, Spotify Canvas loops, Apple Music motion artwork and video podcasts.
Every studio exports an MP4 with H.264 video and no watermark. What changes between them is the frame size and the frame rate, and those are decided by where the video is going.

Why is the file bigger than the frame I designed in?
You compose at a comfortable working size and the engine delivers at the full one, so a 16:9 project is designed at 1920 by 1080 and arrives as 3840 by 2160. Nothing is stretched: the scene is drawn at the larger size rather than scaled up afterwards, which is why type and edges stay sharp.
Can I make the same track in more than one shape?
Yes, and it is the cheapest promotion there is. Switch the format and render again: one song becomes a YouTube video, a vertical clip and a square post. Renders are unlimited on the Creator plan.
