When I am viewing a camera recording in BI Viewer, how do I turn on the crop marks so that I can export a clip?
Viewing and Extracting a clip from Blue Iris
- Thread starter Chapin
- Start date
The green and the red markers at bottom when you chose 'convert/export'.
Found in BI's built-in 'Help', page 95 entitled "Trim, Convert, Export".

Yes, thanks. I know what they are. Sometimes they are not present. How do I make them visible? When they are not present, "Set Start Frame" and "Set End Frame" are grey in the right click menu. "Convert/Export" is greyed out too.
I'll spend time finding the clip I want and then it's random whether I can set the start/end and export.

Getting comfortable
maybe this will help. I've bookmarked his youtube channel. The vids are focused on BI4 as they havnt done BI5 yet but its not much different and might help.
While playing back a clip you can also directly enter a specific date/time (see screenshot), then use the right-click context menu to set the start/end frames
EDIT (5/22/2020): Forgot to mention how handy this is when using 'Test run video through motion detector' (this is much more precise/easier to use for this purpose than the slide ball, IMO).
1) Accelerate to the next or previous alert.
2) Click 'Pause"
3) Click the time tile (as shown in previous post).
4) Enter a time 3-5 seconds earlier than shown... to give the motion sensor time to “learn” the video before it can begin to actually discriminate motion.
