Output
One document, two ways to use it
Neonix JSON V2 is the authoring document for both interactive preview and video export. Create one composition, inspect it, make revisions, then choose the result you need.
The public workflow is:
- Create a valid Neonix JSON V2 document.
- Inspect the composition in preview.
- Correct content, timing, typography or media references.
- Export the approved composition as a video file.
The document remains the source of truth throughout this workflow.
Preview
Preview is an interactive way to review the meaning of a project before export. Check:
- composition width, height, frame rate and background;
- layer order, visibility, groups and transforms;
- text content, font family, weight, size, alignment and paint;
- images, videos, audio and fonts loaded from their declared asset references;
- shapes, paths, masks, clipping, gradients, filters and other documented effects;
- animation timing, interpolation, trimming and transitions between states.
Preview is also the fastest place to find a missing asset, an incorrect reference or a timing value outside the intended composition.
Export
Export creates a video file from the same valid JSON V2 document. The result follows:
- the composition width and height;
- the declared frame rate;
- the visible layer hierarchy and timing;
- the declared colors, text, shapes, images, video clips and effects;
- the audio tracks and clip ranges, when the document contains audio.
The export duration is determined by the timed content in the composition. Make sure every video trim, animation range, audio clip and fade fits inside the intended timeline.
Before exporting
Use this checklist when preparing a project:
- the root object has the required Neonix JSON V2 fields;
- composition dimensions and frame rate are positive and intentional;
- every referenced asset exists and has the expected kind;
- every layer and definition has a unique id;
- text uses a documented font or an available project font asset;
- video and audio ranges are within their source duration;
- animations have valid start, end and keyframe values;
- the preview shows the expected final frame and audio arrangement.
Preview and export consistency
Both results read the same authoring values. A change to the JSON document should therefore be reviewed in preview before exporting again. Differences caused by an invalid reference, unavailable asset, unsupported value or incomplete timing should be fixed in the document rather than worked around in the output.
What belongs in an output-ready document
Keep output-related meaning in documented JSON V2 fields: composition settings, layers, assets, paints, transforms, effects, animation and audio. Do not add browser state, temporary editor values or provider-specific metadata to an authoring document.
