Exporting video files

You can export files from up to 16 cameras with a Professional or Enterprise license. With a Start license, you can export files from a single camera.

To export a video file, complete the following steps:

1. In the Search window, perform a search. For information on how to perform a video search, see Search window overview.
2. In the Timeline pane, locate the start of the video clip on the timeline, then right-click the timeline and select Mark Start.
3. Adjust the cursor lines to mark the start and end of the video clip.
   Note: The green cursor marks the beginning of the video and the red cursor clip marks the end of the video.
4. Optional: To select a specific area of video to export, click the Crop Export icon, and then select an area of video to export.
   Note: This option is only available if you select a single camera for video playback.
5. Click the Export Video icon from the toolbar.
6. In the Export Video window, enter a file name.
7. Select a file location and file type, and then click Save.
   Note: The default file type is .exe (a standalone executable file). You can launch an .exe file in a player, which can be run by a user who does not have access to the exacqVision client. You can also select a .psx, a packaged .ps, a .avi, a .avi, a .mov, and a mp4 file format.

   If the system disconnects during an export process, the export process automatically resumes after the system reconnects.

8. When generating .exe and .psx files, you are prompted to select an encryption method. In the Encryption window, select one of three encryption methods:
   • None: The files will be saved without encryption and will be readable by current and legacy versions of ePlayer.
   • Default: Default encryption is not password protected. A hard-coded key is used to encrypt or decrypt the ps/psi data.
   • AES256GCM: AES256GCM encryption uses a user password to encrypt or decrypt the ps/psi data.
9. Enter and confirm your password.
10. Click Select to confirm, or Cancel to exit.
