The **Export Workspace to Video** button in the **Camera** view, **3D Perspective** and **3D Orthogonal** views lets you easily create visually rich content for presentations or for use in other third-party applications.

Nexus enables you to create video files of a selected 3D workspace.

Before you export a workspace, ensure you have:

- Loaded a trial.
- Installed the desired video compression codec.

**To export a workspace as a video:**

1. Ensure Nexus is not in Live mode.
2. In the workspace, click the **Export Workspace to Video** button.
3. In the ** ****Export Workspace to Video**** **  dialog box, enter the required information and then click OK. Note that **Image Width** and **Image Height** refer to the resolution (in pixels) of the exported image.
  A progress bar indicates the status of the export process and by default, a video file (*.*mp4*) with the same name as the current trial is created in the trial session folder. (You can change the name and location if required.)
