Descript Publishing Faster in the Cloud vs Local Export

Descript exports of your videos or compositions can be very slow - depending on your computer, it can take a long time to export your work from Descript. But one feature you may not know is that you can export using the cloud, powered by Descript. So instead of waiting and heating up your computer to export the finished video, you can publish to the cloud and get your video at least 10x faster.
In this video (part of my Descript course), I walk you through exporting a composition to the cloud, much faster than local exporting. I also show you how you can save the video file rendered in the cloud to keep it. We also look at unpublishing the published page if you don't want to leave it there.

Hello Cristi, what about files that are longer than 1 hour? i realized it doesn't apply and I don't know what to do about this :( help!

[@Graphicious]

Depending on your plan, you should be able to export up to 3-hour long files

[@eric10alex]

hey, how do i access the cloud?

[@Graphicious]

As shown in the video, click Publish. It will use 'the cloud' to export your video.

Your computer took 30 min for a local export? Mine took Seven HOURS overnight for a 40 min video on my 2017 Mac book air 😩

[@Graphicious]

Yes, it takes less now with my Mac Studio, but export speed depends on your computer power a lot. If you have a 2017 Macbook Air, that sounds like it's an Intel processor, which perform slower with Descript. It also depends on the source video, how big and how long the project is.
