To get a video file out of Focus, use Export > Export Tag Clips for selected moments or Export > Export Session for the full session. All other export options produce data files or Focus-only packages, not a video you can watch.
All exports start from the Export menu on the timeline. Use this table to pick the right one.
| I want to... | Use | You get | Who can open it |
| Share or watch specific moments (e.g. all corners) | Export Tag Clips | Video file(s) of the selected tags | Anyone with a video player |
| Share or watch the whole session | Export Session | Session video + XML tag data | Video: anyone. XML: analysis software |
| Send the session to another analyst using Focus | Export Package | Focus package containing the session video | Focus users only |
| Analyse tag data in Excel or similar | Export Session CSV | Spreadsheet of all tags | Anyone with a spreadsheet app |
| Export the filtered list I’m looking at | Export Session List CSV | Spreadsheet of the current List View | Anyone with a spreadsheet app |
| Move tags into another session | Export Session XML | Tag data file | Focus (import into a session) |
| Feed data into a wearables integration | Export Session JSON | Data file | Wearables integration |
Export video
Export tag clips
Use this to share specific moments, or to bring clips into another session when combining sessions (see add additional video to a channel).
- On the timeline, click Export > Export Tag Clips.
- In the Export Video dialog, select the tags you want to export.
- Choose the video angle: Tactical or Broadcast.
- Click Browse to set the file name and save location.
- Choose how the clips are saved:
- Single File joins all selected clips into one video. Best for sharing with players or coaches.
- Multiple Files saves each clip as its own video.
- Start the export.
Export the full session
- Click Export > Export Session.
- Choose a save location.
Focus saves the session video and an XML file together. The video file is the one to share with anyone who just wants to watch. The XML contains tag data only and won’t play in a media player; you can leave it out when sharing.
Export a package for another Focus user
A package contains the session video and is meant to be opened in Focus. Use it to hand a session to another analyst, not to share video with players or staff.
- Click Export > Export Package.
- Choose a save location and click Save.
Export data
These exports produce data files, not video. All are under the Export menu.
- Export Session CSV saves the session’s tags as a spreadsheet.
- Export Session List CSV saves a spreadsheet matching your current List View, including any filters you’ve applied.
- Export Session XML saves tag data you can import into another session, which is useful when combining sessions.
- Export Session JSON saves data for import as part of a wearables integration.
