## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.rendley.com/v1`

## Request body

- TypesCreateProjectExportInput
  - `settings` TypesExportSettings
    - `codec` 'h264' | 'vp8': Optional. Video codec to render with. Defaults are applied server-side when omitted.
    - `quality` 'high' | 'medium' | 'low': Optional. Render quality (encoder bitrate). Defaults to high when omitted. Higher quality produces larger files.
    - `target_resolution` '360p' | '480p' | '720p' | '1080p' | '2K' | '4K': Optional. Output resolution. Defaults to 1080p when omitted. Applies to the canvas's short edge for standard aspect ratios (a 9:16 project exports as 1080x1920 at 1080p) and to the long edge for custom canvas sizes; the aspect ratio is always preserved.
