In ICE Version 1.3, it is possible to export Sessions to .iceSession files. These files can be then copied to other Igloo Immersive Media Players and imported into ICE. This process is useful for transferring content between Immersive Spaces.
Exporting a Session
In this example, we will export a session with a single video layer and another session with four WebView layers.
First select the Load Content dialog and search for a session called ‘Video Example’ by typing the word ‘video' in the search box. This will show all sessions with the word video in the session name. Next, right-click on the Video Example row and select Export.
The session export dialog will now appear and the Video Example session will be in the Sessions listbox. Select the folder to export the session to and note the Assets switch is on, indicating that any media asset files which are part of the session will be included in the export.
Press Export and a popup will display when the export has been completed.
Pressing the Open Folder button will show the folder where the exported files have been generated. Note the Assets sub-folder, which is where the video file is copied to.
For the next export, select Session > Export Sessions from the main menu bar in ICE. This will also show the Export Sessions dialog but this time with no sessions in the listbox. To add a session, press the + button below the Sessions list and then select the WebViews - 4 session. More sessions can be added to the list which will all be exported together but in separate Output files.
Press the Export button and note the png file in the exported session folder. This is included because the session has a custom thumbnail. Also note that the Assets folder is empty because there are no asset files required (all the content is provided by the URLs in the WebViews).
