Using the vuo-export command, you can turn a composition into a movie or an application:

    vuo-export movie --output GenerateCheckerboardImage.mov GenerateCheckerboardImage.vuo
    

    vuo-export macosx --output RenderTextLayer.app RenderTextLayer.vuo
    

If you run into trouble exporting a composition, you can get more information by running vuo-export with the --verbose flag.

This command is equivalent to the File > Export > Mac App... menu item in Vuo Editor. See the section Exporting an application for more information.
