Export of Final Video Issue

Hi Franc,

The challenge that you're experiencing could be related to the video format, display resolution, or player that you're using. For us to isolate your concern, we would like to know the following:

• How did you export the video and where did you save it?
• After you exported the video, have you checked the video details if there were any changes with the actual resolution?
  
• Does this happen to all the videos that you exported regardless of the format and resolution?
• Have you tried using a different video player and see if the issue persists?
  

Regards.
