How to fix video timestamps

Fixing video timestamps

NOTE: These instructions are for fixing the timestamps in an .opf after the video has already been checked (without using the snap-to feature to ensure accurate cell timestamps). Please use the current guidelines for checking video annotations!

  1. Open the file you are checking from this folder:

Fas-Phyc-PEB-Lab/Seedlings/Scripts_and_Apps/reliability/video/06/final_out

  1. Copy and paste the .opf into the appropriate folder Working_Files, creating one if necessary.

    • The directory should look like this: Working_Files/01_06/video

    • Do not change the name of the file. \

  2. Open the .opf.

    • If a message pops up that says "The following files are missing: ..." click OK, and then click "Add Data..." on the Data Viewer Controller. Navigate to the video file, following this filepath: Fas-Phyc-PEB-Lab/Seedlings/Subject_Files/.../Home_Visit/Processing/Video_Files/XX_XX_video.mp4

    • Under "Plugin," select "VLC Video."

    • Click OK.

  3. Navigate to the first cell. Use Datavyu keyboard shortcuts!

  4. Hit Ctrl + to snap to the cell. This will play just the selected cell. Fix timestamps as needed. Hit Ctrl - to unsnap the cell.

  5. Adjust the timestamps as necessary, so that the cell contains the whole utterance and only the utterance.

  6. Navigate to the next cell and repeat steps 4-6, saving often until you reach the last annotated word.

    • TIP: If your shift is over and you're in the middle of a file, insert a comment cell saying "[your initials] stopped here" so you can easily find where you left off when you come back. \

  7. Run post-annotation checks. See here under "After annotating" for instructions.

  8. Move the .opf back to the original folder (below), replacing the original version.

Fas-Phyc-PEB-Lab/Seedlings/Scripts_and_Apps/reliability/video/06/final_out

  1. After you finish a file, mark the Asana task complete.
