Export the cut
One video out: as shot, 16:9, or 9:16 for phones, with every audio track mixed into one.
What it does
Ctrl+E opens the export sheet: keep the video as shot, make it 16:9, or make it 9:16 for phones, then export one video. Every audio track is mixed down into one, each at its own level.
Vertical fills the phone's screen, with a nudge for each clip, or frames the whole picture in a 16:9, 4:3 or 1:1 window, centred or pushed up to leave the bottom free for the app's text and buttons, over black or a blurred copy of the picture.
A cut of an MP4 or MKV with nothing drawn over the picture copies the untouched video between cuts instead of re-encoding it, so a long export goes faster.

As sharp as the video
9:16 comes out at 1080x1920 from 1080p and 2160x3840 from 4K; 16:9 at 1920x1080 or 3840x2160.

The desk keeps drawing
An export runs beside the desk, and the desk keeps drawing while it does: a desk frame takes 4.1 to 4.3 ms at the median.
