Importing over a local Wi-Fi connection:

  • Tap the menu top left
  • Tap “Maintenance”

Your device is now ready to receive the data.

  • In Movie Collector click File > Export to > CLZ mobile application
  • Select Export directly to device
  • Click on your device name in the list of available mobile devices
  • Select All Movies and choose whether you’d like to replace or update your collection
  • Click Start Export to begin exporting your database.

Depending on the size, this could take a while.
