Tips & FAQs
- Export settings explained
- Speed controls stroke replay speed. WebM FPS controls video frame rate. GIF Max Side sets the longest edge, GIF FPS controls GIF frame rate, and Loop repeats the GIF.
- How can I reduce file size?
- Lower GIF Max Side or GIF FPS, increase Speed to shorten the recording, or lower WebM FPS.
- How can I improve detail?
- Raise GIF Max Side for a larger image. Higher FPS can make motion smoother; slower Speed produces a longer recording.
