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.

Adding Clips for Exporting in the Playback View

  2. Find the recording you are interested in.
  3. Mark the start of the time range by clicking on the gray flag on the left . Play the recording until you have reached the end of the clip you want to export. Mark the end of the time range by clicking on the gray flag on the right . Both flags are now green.

    You can set the end marker first (gray flag on the right), then play the recording from the beginning so you can set the start marker (gray flag on the left) at the desired point.
  4. Click on the image of the recording and maintain the position until you see a scaled-down image.

Adding Clips for Exporting in Grid Playback

The Export bar in Grid Playback is the best way to combine sequential time ranges of different cameras. For example, you can use it to follow one person who passes by several cameras. 

  1. Drag the desired camera to the focus window in the grid and find the relevant recording.
  2. Mark the start of the time range by clicking on the gray flag on the left . Play the recording until you have reached the end of the clip you want to export. Mark the end of the time range by clicking on the gray flag on the right . Both flags are now green.
  3. Click on the image of the recording in the focus window and maintain the position until you see a scaled-down image. Drag this image to the Alarm bar (regardless of whether or not it is open). The Alarm bar automatically turns into the Export bar, allowing you to place the image there.
  4. After you have set the end marker of the time range, the recordings of all other cameras will reposition to show the same time. Drag the camera with the next recording in the sequence of events into the focus window. Mark the start and the end of the clip as described above, then drag the recording into the Export bar.
  5. Repeat these steps until you have added all recordings you want to export.
Note
that you can also add time ranges from several cameras in the Export bar.
  1. Simply drag the desired camera group from the Group bar or from the Device bar and search for the relevant recording.
  2. Mark the start and the end of the clip as described above. The recordings of the other cameras will reposition accordingly.
