   NOTE: G64x files can’t be re-exported to the G64 format.
7. In the Description field, enter a description for the exported video if necessary.
   The description is shown in the Audit trails and file properties in the Vault.

   NOTE: A description is mandatory for users without the Single user export privilege.

   For all other users, the field is only available if the G64x format is selected, and the Include additional properties on export/snapshot option is enabled in the user configuration.

8. If you’re re-exporting in G64x format, click Show advanced settings and configure as needed:
   
   1. Select Add password protection and enter a password to encrypt the video file. The password must be entered to open the video.
      NOTE: The metadata and headers for password-protected G64x files remain hidden until the file is decrypted.
   2. Select Allow the exported video file to be re-exported to enable all or part of the video to be re-exported again in the same or a different format.
      NOTE: Password protected video files can’t be re-exported.
9. Click Save.
   The export progress is shown in the notification tray (). To view the current progress or troubleshoot exporting errors, click More or Show details to open the Export dialog box.

   If another export process is running, your export is queued and starts when the previous export has finished. When your export is complete, the video files are created in the export folder that you specified, and the files are available in the Vault.

   NOTE: Files re-exported from the Genetec Video Player are only available in the Vault if they are saved to that folder location.
