FAQ
Can I create and export without signing up?
Yes. Open the ready demo, create a design using free styles, cameras and sounds and export watermarked Full HD at 30 fps without an account or card. Account saving and Pro purchases are separate.
Does RouteFlick export up to 4K at 60 fps?
Pro offers up to 4K at 60 fps when your browser and device support the output. Preview FPS and export speed vary. Other tools also offer 60 fps; this is a RouteFlick capability, not an exclusivity claim.
Do I wait for a server to render my RouteFlick video?
Video rendering runs on your own device. Initial assets and route lookup can need a connection; saving to an account can upload media. There is no server rendering queue, but preparation and export still take time.
Can I use the MP4 in my desktop video editor?
Yes. Download the MP4 on the computer you work on, then import it into your video editor. No dedicated editor plugin is required. Review the licenses for any music, photos or footage you include.
