Export video in advanced mode

When working in advanced mode, not only can you export a video clip. You can also export audio, XProtect data, and still images.

On the Playback tab, in the timeline, click the Time Selection Mode button to select the start and end time of the sequence you want to export.
For each view item you want to export, select the check box associated with it.
To the right of the timeline, click Export > Export to open the Export window.
To include additional view items, click Add item button to select them.
In the Export name field, enter a name for the export. The system automatically creates a name with the current date and time. You can change the name.
Specify a path, a media burner, or both, for the destination of the export.
Click the relevant tab to select one or more of the following formats to export to:
- XProtect format - use the XProtect database format, with the option to include the XProtect Smart Client – Player along with the export. If you choose this option, other media players will not work.
- Media player format - use a format that most media players can play. This requires that a media player is installed on the computer that will play the video.
- Still images - export a still image file for each frame for the selected period.
If you want the receiver to be able to verify that the exported evidence has not been tampered with, select the XProtect format and Include digital signature check boxes. This will enable the Verify Signatures button in the XProtect Smart Client – Player.
Click Start Export to export your evidence.

If you want to cover specific areas of a video in the export, you can add privacy masks. The privacy masks that you add here only apply to the current export and for the selected video. The export may already include video with privacy masks configured by your system administrator. For more information, see Mask areas in a recording during export.

For information about the settings for the format you selected, see Settings in the Export window (explained).
