Chapter 19 EXPORT
The Export feature allows broadcasters to publish clips and stills from events like
syndicated sports, entertainment or news programming to social media sites even
while the live action and capture continues. Networks, corporate users and others
with sophisticated website and distribution needs can deliver content moments after
events occur for all manner of timely applications.
SECTION 19.1 OVERVIEW
In today’s broadcasting world, a single program feed is often inadequate, inappropriate, or both. More and
more viewers ingest media from multiple sources, even simultaneously. A live (and lively) online presence
is critical for many productions with little or no traditional broadcast following. Publishing supplemental
content such as backstage feeds, locker room interviews, pre and post-game chatter, etc.), via such popular
Internet sites as Facebook
® , YouTube ® , Twitter ® , etc. provide many opportunities for brand extension and
monetization. In addition, the Export feature supports both transcoding and distribution to local or
networked storage for archival or post production purposes.
Briefly, once you create presets for your social media accounts and other publishing targets, the Export tools
in the Live Desktop make it quick and easy to distribute selected content to multiple sites even while
production and recording is still underway – just perfect for concerts, galas and sport events.
SECTION 19.2
EXPORT MENU
The Export feature’s user interface conforms in large measure
to Stream , which we just discussed. Click the Configure gear
next to the large Export button in the Dashboard at the top of
the screen to open the menu (Figure 225).
At the top (where you would see Web Browser listed in the Stream menu),
is an Export Media item. This opens the panel which allows you to manage
media files you intend to export. We’ll discuss this panel soon.
19.2.1
PRESET LIST
Below the Export Media menu item is a list of any presets you have configured as Export targets. (Before you
actually create any presets for yourself, this list shows only the default Export Media File entry, a transcoding
preset which cannot be deleted . )
Notice that each preset listed in the menu can be checked or un-checked. When you add media files to the
Export Bin (by any method), the check-marked entries determine which Export targets are automatically
assigned to them (you can also manually modify the presets for each item in the Bin at any time).
Hint: When the mouse pointer is over a preset in the Export menu, two gadgets are shown at right; the familiar
gear allows you to modify the preset, and the (x) will remove it from the list.
