This is really an aesthetic thing, but also a function as its tripped me up a few times.
Once you begin an animation export, would it be possible to hide the interface, or minimize it to the system tray with a 'hover over' update for the export completion? This could be a toggle in Options perhaps.
When still working on the machine, having the SYNCHRO interface live, I hate running the risk of miss-clicking and causing (in the past) the occasional crash etc.
It also makes managing other software windows harder when it doesn't minimize.
Its locked out and doesn't serve any purpose when the export is running, so would just help to tidy up the experience.
Just an idea! :D
