You can export your designation lists to a video file by right-clicking a selected designation list and hovering over Export. The options are shown below. NOTE: When exporting video with links - you need more than .1s before and after the link on a designation to avoid export errors.

Video options – MPEG-4 - H.264/AVC is recommended as most people can play these and they are high quality and smaller files. Great for inserting into PowerPoint or emailing.

Include scrolling text and linked documents – this allows you to export video files that include the scrolling text and any linked documents that show in Presentation during playback.


Save each clip as a separate file – with this checked OnCue will create separate video clips instead of one video file for the list.

Save closed captions file – a variety of caption file options are included here.




You can also export using highlighter colors but the player you use must be able compatible.
