Edits
Export a video edit
Renders the edit to an MP4 (when it is ready or completed; otherwise 409, also while another export runs). Billed per output minute, rounded up, before the render starts; a failed render is refunded and the edit goes back to ready. The result arrives as output_url on GET /v1/edits/ and in the job.completed webhook (stage exported). Requires scope videos:write. Each export is also saved to your workspace Media Library. After 30 days the edit’s working files are deleted and it can no longer be exported again (410 EDIT_EXPIRED); earlier exports stay.
