Can Flourish Export Video MP4? (Not on Standard Plans)
No. Flourish does not support direct video export on any self-serve plan.
Video export requires an enterprise contract (~$5,000+/yr). On all standard plans, the only option is screen recording. If you need native MP4 export without an enterprise contract, AECharts exports 1080p MP4 in ~5 seconds on paid plans starting at $19/month.
Bottom line: for video export, AECharts wins. For interactive web charts and embeds, Flourish is the stronger tool.

Flourish video export workarounds
Here's what people on standard plans typically do:
- Screen recording — record your screen while the chart plays. Variable quality, no 1080p, timing depends on your machine.
- Export Story as video — Flourish Stories (slideshow format) have a video export option on some plans, but this doesn't apply to individual chart visualizations.
- Enterprise export — Flourish offers direct video export as an enterprise feature (~$5,000+/yr). Not available on self-serve plans.
