Export

Use OpenChatCut's export tools for delivery. An export request should call submit_export (or submit_render_job for async), then use track_export for status and final delivery when the result is not returned immediately.

Default policy:

• Prefer submit_export when the user asks to export/share/finalize the OpenChatCut timeline.
• Keep originals local by default during editing. Upload originals only when a cloud export/proof needs remote assets and the user has not forbidden upload.
• Do not wrap sandbox ffmpeg work as a OpenChatCut tool. Use sandbox ffmpeg for full video processing only when the user explicitly asks for a standalone local-file operation outside a OpenChatCut editing workflow. For OpenChatCut editing tasks, do not produce a pre-edited or flattened local render as the primary review/final deliverable; use OpenChatCut export.
