Import, export & formats
How import and export work in Horoptic, including formats and Content Credentials.
Import is local-decode first: common formats decode on your machine with no upload.
Export happens where your project lives.
- A Local project exports on your own computer — free, with no account and no connection. The Mac app makes H.264, HEVC or ProRes; the Windows app makes H.264 on the editions of Windows that include Microsoft’s media codecs (not the “N” editions). A Local project cannot hold AI-generated media, so no provenance manifest is made for its export.
- A Cloud project’s master renders on the server, with per-platform presets — and every master records a C2PA
provenance manifest by default, kept alongside your master rather than embedded in it today. A Cloud master can
also export your cut to OTIO (
.otioz) — native in DaVinci Resolve today, in both the free and Studio editions; in Adobe Premiere Pro it opens via Adobe’s OTIO support, which is currently in beta.
