Is my export ready yet?

Claude will check the status and let you know when it’s done.

Claude will start the export and provide the URL once ready.

Before Exporting

Make sure:

✓ All chapters have been created
✓ All prompts have completed processing
✓ You’ve reviewed the content

Only completed chapters will be included in the export. Chapters without content or with failed prompts will be skipped.

Workflow Example

In Claude

User: Create a product video with intro, features, and outro chapters

Claude: [Creates project, adds chapters, submits prompts]

User: Export the project

Claude: [Starts export, waits for completion]
Claude: Your video is ready! Download it here: [URL]

Export States

The export can be in one of these states:

State	Description
`queued`	Export is queued and waiting to start
`processing`	Export is actively being rendered
`completed`	Export finished successfully, download URL available
`failed`	Export failed, error message provided

Download the Video

Once the export status is completed, you can download the video from the download_url:

The video is ready at: https://assets.babou.ai/exports/prj_abc123xyz.mp4

Download URLs are temporary. Download your video promptly after the export completes.

Troubleshooting

Export takes too long

Complex projects with multiple chapters and effects take longer to render. Wait patiently or check the status after a few minutes.

Export fails

Common causes:

No completed chapters in the project
Corrupted prompts or assets
Server issues

Try checking chapter status and retry the export.

Can't find download URL

The download URL is only available when status is completed. Keep checking the export status until it finishes.
