​
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:
StateDescription
queuedExport is queued and waiting to start
processingExport is actively being rendered
completedExport finished successfully, download URL available
failedExport 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

Complex projects with multiple chapters and effects take longer to render. Wait patiently or check the status after a few minutes.
Common causes:
  • No completed chapters in the project
  • Corrupted prompts or assets
  • Server issues
Try checking chapter status and retry the export.
The download URL is only available when status is completed. Keep checking the export status until it finishes.
