Exporting (GDL)
Running an Export

Running an Export

Exporting packages your design into a ZIP file ready for broadcast playout. The process runs in the background — you can keep working while it completes.

Steps

Configure GDL settings (if needed)

Before exporting, open the GDL Settings panel in the toolbar and fill in any required fields for your playout workflow. See Configuring GDL Settings.

If your playout system doesn't require these fields, skip this step.

Click Export in the toolbar

The Export button is in the editor toolbar. Click it to open the export panel.

Click Start Export

Confirm the export. CloudMonet sends the job to be processed.

Wait for processing

A status indicator shows the current state:

  • Queued — the job is waiting to start
  • Processing — the package is being built
  • Complete — the ZIP is ready to download

You don't need to stay on this screen. The status updates automatically when the job finishes.

Exports typically complete within a few minutes. Complex designs with many high-resolution images may take longer. The maximum processing time before a timeout is 15 minutes.
