Video exports in the Resource Hub

Overview​

The Video exports tab in the Resource Hub is the one place to find every MP4 and GIF your team has exported from a Walnut demo. Instead of opening the share panel on each demo to find a past render, you can browse, play, download, retry, or delete company-wide exports from the Resource Hub.

Walnut keeps each finished export for 30 days and then deletes it automatically, so the tab doubles as a short-lived shared drop for recent renders.

Before You Start​

  • Role: Admins and Editors see the Video exports tab. Presenters and Viewers don't.
  • Prerequisite: your demo must already be exported as a video — see Export a demo as a video (MP4/GIF).

Open the Video exports tab​

  1. Click Resource Hub in the main navigation.
  2. Switch to the Video exports tab in the Resource Hub tab strip.

The tab opens with every teammate's exports listed as cards, newest first, and a banner that reads "Video exports are kept for 30 days".

What each export shows​

Each export is a card with:

  • A thumbnail and the demo name it was rendered from
  • A status badge — Ready, Rendering, or Failed
  • The requester line — By you for your own exports, or By Name for a teammate's
  • The export format (MP4 or GIF) and quality (Standard, High, or Max)
  • A Deletes in N days countdown that turns yellow in the last week and red on the final day (the last day is labelled "Deletes within a day")

Switch the tab between Grid and List with the view toggle in the top bar. In List view, a playable row also offers a Play button so you can review the render in place.

  • Exported by — pick Anyone (default) to see every teammate's export or My videos to narrow the list to your own.
  • Search — type in the search box to match by demo name or requester name (case-insensitive).

If My videos is on and you haven't exported anything yet, the tab shows a "No video exports yet" empty state with a link back into the export flow.

Actions on an export​

The actions you see depend on whether the export is yours and whether it's finished:

  • Download — on any Ready export, yours or a teammate's.
  • Copy link — in the card's More actions menu, so you can paste the download link into an email or chat.
  • Retry — on your own Failed export; Walnut re-queues the render with your original settings.
  • Delete — on your own export, from More actions; a confirmation modal asks you to confirm. Only the person who exported a video can delete it.

Deleted and expired exports fall off the list immediately.

Error messages​

Walnut surfaces short, specific messages when an action can't complete:

When you see itWhat it means
This export was already deleted.The export reached its 30-day limit or someone else deleted it between loads.
You need edit access to this demo to retry it.Your demo access changed since the export was created — ask the demo owner for edit access.
Only the person who exported it can do that.Delete is restricted to the requester.
Try again in a moment.A transient server error — retry the action.
Check your connection and try again.A client-side problem reaching Walnut.

FAQs​

How long are exports kept?​

30 days from the moment the render finishes. Walnut shows the remaining days on each card and deletes the file automatically when the countdown hits zero.

Can I re-export a video that was deleted?​

Yes. Open the demo, run Export as video again with the settings you need, and the fresh export shows up in the tab as soon as the render completes.

Can I download someone else's export?​

Yes. Any Ready export is downloadable from the tab regardless of who requested it. Only the person who exported it can delete or retry it.

Why don't I see the Video exports tab?​

The tab is available to Admins and Editors. If you have the right role and still don't see it, ask a Walnut admin to confirm your account has video exports enabled.

No. The export is just a rendered file. The demo, its published link, and its Insights are untouched.
