      When you export in the PDF format, the settings from the domain options are used (see Export template). The date, time, and comment overlay a frame regardless of the main titles. If you add main titles, they are repeated on the exported frame

      Note
      titleAttention!

      Frames are exported only from cameras with archive recording. If a camera has no archive recording, a frame isn't exported regardless of the camera position on the layout.

      PDF
      MP4

      Export of videos in the AVI or MP4 format is performed with recompression by the codec selected in the settings. Due to the recompression, the export can take much longer than other formats. Also, it increases the load on the CPU, especially when you export several files at a time

      Note
      titleAttention!

      Exported videos in the MP4 format with the MJPEG codec aren't supported in the MPC-HC player.

      AVI
      EXE

      When you export videos in the EXE format, the compilation of the executable file is performed. The executable file contains a video, the tools for its playback, and necessary codecs. When you export in the EXE format, note the Windows OS limitation due to which you cannot run executable files larger than 4 GB. When you export videos from a fisheye camera, the entire panoramic view, which you can rotate to the required viewing angle in the player, is exported

      Note
      titleAttention!

      If you export videos from a fisheye camera in the MKV, MP4,or AVI formats, the selected area on a camera in the layout interface is exported.

      Export as single file

      Video quality
      Video codec
      Select the required format of the video codec from the drop-down list




      DefaultWhen you export a video, the source codec that was used during the initial recording to the archive is saved
      MPEG4It provides good image quality at a relatively low bit rate. It is widely used for videos and video stream
      MJPEG

      It is a sequence of JPEG images that are transmitted as a video stream. Each frame is encoded separately. It has a large file size compared to other codecs, which leads to high network bandwidth requirements

      Note
      titleAttention!

      Exported videos in the MP4 format with the MJPEG codec aren't supported in the MPC-HC player.

      h264It provides high image quality at a relatively small file size in comparison with MPEG4 and MJPEG
      Compression level
      Select the required compression level for the exported video from the drop-down list








      DefaultWhen you export a video, the source compression level that was used during the initial recording to the archive is saved
      Minimum levelThe higher the compression level, the lower the detailing and image quality, which reduces the amount of data during transmission and storage

      Original frame rate

      The value is set by default. When you export a video, its original frame rate is saved, providing the maximum quality and accuracy of playback

      Note

      Frames skipping, fps0Set the required value of the FPS skipping. The value must be in the range [0, 300]
      Video speed0If you need to change the speed of the exported video, set the speed rate. The value must be in the range [0, 128]

      Info
      titleNote

      When you select the Hide or the Invert and hide value, the export process can take a long time, regardless of the format. This is due to the necessity of video reencoding for face masking, which requires additional computational resources and time.

      If you need to export a frame or video to the encrypted ZIP archive, set the archive password

      Note
      titleAttention!
