Export items directly from the Export window
If you want to export items by adding them directly in the Export window, follow these instructions:
1. On the Playback tab, on the XProtect Smart Client toolbar, click Export > Export... to open
the Export window with an empty Item list.
2. Click Add item... to add the items, for example cameras, that you want to add to the export
list.
3. Click each export item and then specify its start and end time in the preview pane to the right
of the list. Repeat for all items in the list.
4. In the Export name field, enter a name for the export. The program automatically creates a
name with the current date and time. You can change the name.
5. Specify a path and/or media burner for the destination of the export.
6. Click the relevant tab to select a format to export to.
7. Specify the necessary settings (see "The Export window" on page 141) for the format you have
chosen. Based on these settings, the program estimates the size of the export and displays
this in the bar at the bottom of the window.
8. Click Start Export to export your evidence.
If you want to make changes or add more items later, click Cancel. When asked if you want to
remove the selected export items, click No. This ensures that your list of export items is

page 121) and then click Export > Add to export list. This adds each item to the list of
exports without opening the Export window. Repeat until you have added all items that you
need for your storyboard.

selected items are displayed in the Item list, ready for export.
