Once you have set all of the attributes above, click the Export toolbar item, provide a destination directory to store your results.

Silica creates a thread that runs in the background to handle the Quartz Composition conversions. Click the Activity Monitor item on the toolbar to manage the status of any composition submitted for conversion. If unfinished exports remain active when you exit Silica, you will be asked whether to cancel any remaining exports or continue exiting the application.
