Number of simultaneously exportable streams

In some cases, it is necessary to export a large number of streams into a single video clip. The number of streams that can be exported into a single clip goes up to 32 in Spotter. The maximum number of exportable streams depends on the export format:

  • SEF/SEF2: 32 streams

  • ASF/Matroska: 8 streams

  • MP4/AVI: 1 stream

Streams added to the export list can be viewed in the export panel. If the number of streams is greater than eight, the streams can be viewed by scrolling vertically. If the number of exportable streams exceeds the upper limit for the export format, a warning message is displayed.
