Export video clips with Alta Video Download Manager

Last modified: Monday February 10, 2025.

For exporting longer video clips, you can use the Alta Video Download Manager. Exporting via the download manager is useful for less reliable internet connections as you can pause and resume without loss of progress. You can choose to export clips ranging from 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours.

For information on exporting shorter video clips, see Export video clips from Alta Video.

Video playback can be prioritized from either the device itself, or from the backup information in the cloud. When local internet bandwidth is low, prioritize cloud storage for the best playback experience.
