Assigning a path as a variable in bash file

I am new in linux and I am trying to assign a path into a variable as follows

#! /bin/bash
path=/usr/local/driveworks/tools/capture
cd path
./video_exporter ///media/uuresin/SSD3/last_record/input.lraw ~/records/output.mp4

The bash file above produces the following error:

./trial.sh: line 5: cd: path: No such file or directory
./trial.sh: line 7: ./video_exporter: No such file or directory
