PressCut never adds a watermark, at any resolution. Here is how to choose the right export settings.

Export a video

  1. Tap Export in the editor.
  2. Choose a Preset, or set the options yourself:
    • Resolution: from 480p to 1080p for free; 2K and 4K with Pro.
    • Frame rate: 30 fps for free; 60 fps with Pro.
    • Quality and Format (H.264 or HEVC).
    • File size goal: enter a size in MB to compress the video for messaging apps.
  3. Check the Estimated size and tap Export video.

You can leave the app while it exports. A notification shows the progress. When it is done, find the video in your gallery under PressCut.

If you see "2K, 4K and 60 fps need Pro", tap Use free settings. 1080p at 30 fps always exports free, with no watermark.

Other export options

  • Audio only (M4A): saves the sound track without the picture.
  • Export as GIF: an animated image without sound, up to 30 seconds at 480 px. For a longer video it uses the first 30 seconds unless you mark In and Out points.
  • Only In to Out: exports just the part between your In and Out marks. The project stays as it is.
  • Lossless fast export: copies the cut clips without re-encoding, so the quality stays the same and it finishes in seconds. It is not available when captions are drawn into the picture.
  • Timeline for desktop editors (.otio): an OpenTimelineIO file for DaVinci Resolve and other editors.
  • Save as template: saves the clip lengths, effects, transitions, titles and music settings (no media) so you can reuse them.
