Remarks

This method saves the composition as an XML file containing metadata about the composition such as the source media files, arrangement of clips, overlays, and effects applied to the composition. A new media composition can be created from the saved XML file by calling LoadAsync.

To render a media composition as a video file so that it can be played back by standard media players, use the RenderToFileAsync method.
