What Current is

Current is a native video and motion editor for Windows. You edit footage, text, shapes and motion on a timeline, and an external agent can edit the same project through the same checked operations.

Who these docs are for

These docs are for people who edit with Current on Windows, and for people who connect an MCP client, such as an AI agent, to Current.

Contents

  5. Export: the MP4 export, its encoders and its fixed settings.
