Q: EXPORTING
Hello,
I have had Reap for a while but only just started using it, and when I want to export, it does so on its own without telling me where the video is being saved. I have not yet connected my social media. How can I decide where to download or export the video?

Great question — happy to clarify this.
When you export a video in reap, it does not automatically download to your device or save somewhere hidden.
Here’s how it works:
• After export, your video is available inside your project/dashboard
• You’ll see a download option where you can manually download it to your device
• The file will go to your browser’s default download location (e.g., Downloads folder)
If you haven’t connected social media:
• The video will not be auto-published anywhere
• You stay fully in control of downloading and sharing manually
If you're not seeing the download option:
• Make sure the export has fully completed
• Check inside the project or clips section where the final video appears
We’re also improving this flow to make export and download locations more explicit.
Let me know if you’d like a quick walkthrough — happy to help.
