Log Ad-Hoc Events

Although the Post-hoc way of coding is rather laid back and simple, because you can only use the SPACEBAR to log all Events, you still might prefer the Standard (ad-hoc) mode.

Especially for longer lasting behaviors, or if you want to simultaneously log different types of behavior that are easy to observe and setup as mutually exclusive Codes per behavior type:

Position the video at the beginning of your session.

Click on one or more Codes to log the start time for the behaviors you observe right from the beginning.

Active Code do not only have a line in the document with only an start time value, they also are highlighted in the Coding Panel:

CodingPanel_Highllights

Reduce the playback speed of your video to give you a bit more time to react with these little arrows Btn_Control_Speed

Click btn_control_play Play to start the video.

The moment a behavior changes, hit the next behavior (in case you defined mutually exclusive Codes) or click on the currently active Code to end it.
