To create video files that can be played in media players such as Windows Media
Player, you can export video recordings when watching playback video, and then store them in
Stratocast™ or download them to your local drive.
What you should know
Important: This legacy Silverlight video player process is deprecated
and no longer officially supported.
This procedure describes how to export
video from a tile in the View page while viewing playback video in
the legacy Silverlight video player. Video is exported in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF). The maximum length of video that you can export
is 60 minutes.
Important: Provided that your portal
account remains active, exported video files are stored in the Stratocast™ vault until you delete them.
If you export video
from your client's Stratocast™ portal, the exported video is stored in your
vault, not theirs. As a result, your client cannot see your exported videos and you cannot
see theirs.
Procedure
On the View page, do one of the following:
Select a tile whose camera is streaming live video and click .
To go to a specific time and date in a video recording, click
Seek (), and enter a range or a specific time and date for that
video recording.
The selected tile is maximized and the timeline is displayed at the
bottom of the tile.
Click Export ().
In the Save as video clip dialog box, set the following
to define the duration of your exported video:
Minutes before
The number of minutes to include before the time indicated in the
dialog box.
Minutes after
The number of minutes to include after the time indicated in the
dialog box.
Enter a Description for the exported video.
The maximum is 2000 characters. If the Description is
left blank, the camera name is used as the description.
Click Save.
On the Vault page, a progress bar for the exporting process
appears in the list of exported video files.
Note: Only two video exporting processes can be in progress at the same
time, per user. Also, the exporting status is refreshed every five
seconds.
Click Vault to confirm whether the bookmark was exported
successfully.
Note: After the clip has finished converting, a blue play button is displayed
next to the description in the list. Click the button to save the clip
locally to your computer
(Optional) To cancel the exporting process or delete the video after it
has been exported, select the video from the list of exported video
files and click Delete ().
(Optional) To edit the Description of your exported
video:
Hover your mouse over the Description you want
to modify, and click it when the underline appears.
In the Edit dialog box, modify the
Description text.
Click Save.
Example
The video sequence that you want to export was recorded on 4/22/2014 (April 22, 2014) at 4:26:45 p.m. EDT, and you have chosen a buffer of one minute before and one minute after for the exported video. As a result, the duration of the exported video is two minutes, starting at 4:25:45 and ending at 4:27:45.
After you finish
Download the exported video so that you can view it offline.
Important: Each user is given a maximum of 1 GB of storage space in
the Stratocast™ vault. As a result, it is
recommended that you download your exported video files regularly.
