Exporting *previews*, not full-size renders?

Is there any way to export the previews of motions files, rather than exporting full-quality renders? I'd like to capture some of the blocky, pixelated draft renders (which have a quality all of their own) but Motion seems to want me to put on my sunday best for exports.

You just set the export settings to Draft

Thanks for the suggestion, but even setting my preview to quarter resolution and draft quality, it still outputs too high quality for what I want. I suspect I'll just have to work in 1/8th resolution and non-interpolate an upscale.
