See: [Data Export](/v3.2/motive/data-export.md). #### **Export Video...** Exports reference video to an AVI file. To play this file in Windows Media Player, a codec needs to be installed. #### **Export Audio...** **E**xports audio to into a WAV file. See: [Audio Recording in Motive](/v3.2/motive/audio-recording.md). #### **Export Calibration...** Exports the current system calibration file(.cal) to a desired location. #### **Export Profile As...** Exports the current software configurations into an application profile (MOTIVE). {% hint style="info" %} **Profile (MOTIVE) files:** MOTIVE profile stores software configurations. Software setting such as applications settings, streaming setting, trackable assets, synchronization configurations, and/or device configurations can be saved into this file. This file can be exported and imported to configurations in Motive. {% endhint %} #### **Export Assets...** Export just the [assets](/v3.2/motive/assets.md) (Rigid Bodies, Skeletons, Marker Sets) to a MOTIVE file. #### **Export Device Info...** Exports the devices currently connected to Motive into a CSV file (ie. Cameras and their serial numbers). #### **Update Default Profile** Manually update the current software configurations onto the [default system profile](/v3.2/motive/motive-basics.md).
