Export

The Export tab turns your project into a finished result. It offers five export types:

• Video — render the whole video or a selected range.
• Subtitles — generate a .srt or .vtt caption file.
• YouTube Chapters — a timestamped chapter list for YouTube.
• Project Data — export the project as JSON or a .qc package.
• Thumbnail — open the Quran Thumbnails website with your project details pre-filled.

Video export

For the video export you can configure:

• Export range — by time, by verse, or by meaning (where the AI groups verses into semantic ranges).
• Skip ranges — exclude parts of the timeline from the export.
• Orientation and quality — change the project’s video dimensions, shared with the Style editor. Apply the selected dimensions before exporting.
• Video & audio fade — smooth fade-in and fade-out.
• Quran Caption promotion — a 3-second card at the start or end.
• Performance — frame rate (5–60 FPS); advanced settings also control parallel capture workers and the quality profile.

Export only recitation removes takbirs, taslim, other non-Quran passages, and long silences while keeping the basmala, isti‘adhah, and Amin. The advanced settings let you add a random background when the video track is empty, export with transparency, choose H.264 or H.265 for a regular video, and select Balanced or Max Quality. For a transparent export, choose one of the offered alpha-capable formats instead of H.264/H.265.

By meaning uses your configured text AI provider to suggest ranges of consecutive verses within a maximum duration. Review the proposed ranges before exporting; this mode requires the AI settings described in Settings.

Before starting, Quran Caption warns you about low-confidence subtitles, missing words, or translations needing review. Resolve those issues, or explicitly acknowledge the warning to enable the export button. Set the output file name and folder before launching the export.

Subtitle export

Choose the subtitle format and content:

• Format — SRT or VTT.
• Content — include the Arabic text and any translation edition, each with optional verse numbers (at the end for Arabic, at the start for translations).
• Arabic text format — Plain, QPC V1 (1405H), or QPC V2 (1423H).

YouTube chapters

Generate chapters per surah, verse, hizb, juz, or rubʿ. You can customize the chapter text with placeholders (e.g. <timestamp>, <surah-translation>), optionally include a translation, and paste the result into your YouTube description.

Project data

Export the project as a JSON file (configuration only), or enable Include project assets to package it as a .qc file that bundles your local media. The JSON export stores the timeline, subtitles, translations, styles, and media references, but not the media files themselves. Use a .qc package to move a project to another computer with its media.

Export monitor

Open the Exports Monitor from the download icon in the title bar to see the progress, status, and logs of each export. After a successful video export, Quran Caption offers a short reflection prompt to write down what the passage means to you.
