Export Studio

Record your piano as a video made for TikTok

Falling notes on screen, you on keys — export MP4s made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Rendered, not screen-recorded

Export Studio draws every frame itself instead of recording your screen, so a slow phone and a fast phone produce the same video and no frames are dropped. The sound is rendered from the same grand piano as playback.

Made for social platforms

  • Separate landscape and portrait profiles, each with its own resolution, frame rate and quality.
  • Trim the song to just the part you want to show.
  • Your Visualizer colors, effects and background carry into the video.
  • Encoding is tuned toward YouTube's recommended upload settings, so platforms re-compress it less harshly.
  • Export keeps running if you switch to another app.

Export Studio: choose landscape or portrait, a quality, the frame rate and the bitrate.

Watermark

Free exports carry a small Papiano watermark. Free players can turn it off by watching a short video before exporting.

Frequently asked questions

What format is the video?

MP4, with H.264 video and AAC audio.

Can I export in portrait for Reels or Shorts?

Yes. Portrait and landscape are separate profiles, so changing one never changes the other.

Do I need Premium to export?

No. Free exports include a watermark that you can remove by watching a short video.
