## Export Bar

The Export bar provides a quick and easy way to take camera recordings and MXG clips by dragging and dropping and create a list of recordings for subsequent exporting. From the bar, you can export recording time ranges as combined clips. You can add the clips in the Playback view, in Grid Playback, in the Research view and in the Smart Data View. The Export bar is not automatically deleted after an export. It is deleted when the program is closed.
