Everyone. Exporting and downloading work the same on Free and Pro.

## Cost

Free, no credits. Exporting the file and downloading it never use credits. See [What uses credits and what is free](/docs/credits/what-is-free).

## When something goes wrong

| Message in the app | What it means | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| This motion video has no MP4 yet. Click Export MP4 on the card first, then download. | You tried **Download** before the file existed. | Click **Export MP4**, wait, then download. |
| Nothing could be downloaded. Motion videos need Export MP4 first. | A ZIP held only videos with no file. | Export the MP4, then try again. |
| Export failed | A row in the activity feed. The file could not be made. The card may keep showing **Exporting MP4...**. | Reload the project, then click **Export MP4** again. |

## Questions

### Why do I have to click Export MP4?

Not in the app. **Export MP4** makes one standard HD file in the shape you picked.

Your browser saves it to its normal downloads folder. See [Download and export](/docs/studio/download-and-export) for how other things on the canvas download.
