Once you are finished [editing your video file](/acquia-dam/how-do-i-edit-video-video-creator "How do I edit a video in Video Creator?") in [Video Creator](/acquia-dam/what-video-creator-what-can-it-be-used "What is Video Creator? What can it be used for?"), you can export it to DAM. On the project overview page, select **Export**. 

![Project overview page](https://acquia.widen.net/content/0ab58ca1-fa45-4448-b242-faa5c158c959/web/ka0Pb0000006zjx00N6g00000WDN1a0EMPb00000819UT.png)

Then, select publish to Acquia DAM.

Choose your desired video quality and format for the file. Edit the title, which will become the filename in DAM, and description for the video. If you have a description metadata field in DAM, the description you write in Video Creator will populate that field in DAM. Under Profile, select a DAM [upload profile](/acquia-dam/how-do-i-create-upload-profiles "How do I create upload profiles?") for your file to be uploaded to once it is exported to DAM. 

![upload profile selection](https://acquia.widen.net/content/b9878bd4-b6e3-445b-a327-c7ad26caf573/web/ka0Pb0000006zjx00N6g00000WDN1a0EMPb0000081AWz.png)

  
Click **Publish video**. How this file gets uploaded to DAM depends on the settings of the upload profile you selected. If no asset has the same filename, then it will upload as a completely new asset. If it has the same filename as another asset, it could replace an asset, be added as a new version, or go into the [Conflicted Asset Uploads](/acquia-dam/what-are-conflicted-assets "What are conflicted assets?") table.
