matically advances the video by a preset number of frames. Two examples follow:
• Example 1: The user watches each frame in the Video window and assign a
Scalar value to some on-screen behavior, say a number between 1 and 10 for
a rat's activity level. To assign a range to the Scalar window, see “Scalar
Right-click Menu” on page 232. With each frame, left-click in the Scalar
window to enter a Scalar marker occurrence with a value that corresponds to
the location clicked in the Scalar window, at the time of the current video
frame. After each left-click, CinePlex Editor automatically advances to the
next frame or to the number of frames set. To set the number of frames, see
Number of Frames to Advance During Click-To-Add on page 266.
• Example 2: The user watches each frame in the Video window and mark
some position of interest, for example, the end of the rat's tail. With each
frame, left-click in the Video window to enter a Coordinate marker occurrence
with a value that corresponds to the location clicked in the Video window,
at the time of the current video frame. After each left-click, CinePlex
Editor automatically advances to the next frame or to the number of frames
set.
To insert marker occurrences with a mouse click, follow the procedure below.
1 In the Input window, next to Left-Click click Insert.
Note: This arms CinePlex Editor to insert an occurrence of a marker at the
current time when clicking (left-click) the mouse.
2 In the Markers window, click the marker for which to insert occurrences.
A >> appears in the left most column to designate the marker as the currently
selected marker.
3 Use mouse click insertion when CinePlex Editor is paused or playing. Enter
marker occurrences for each marker type as follows:
• For Time Only (T) markers – Click in the Activity window only, as follows,
otherwise CinePlex Editor ignores the click.
• If paused – Click anywhere in the window and the occurrence
appears at the time corresponding to the pointer location.
• If playing – Because the display typically moves too fast for
precise insertion, click anywhere in the window and the
occurrence appears at the current time. Keep the pointer over the
Activity window while watching the video and click to insert each
occurrence.
• For Interval (I) markers – Click in the Activity window only, as follows,
otherwise CinePlex Editor ignores the click.
• If paused – Click once to mark the start of the interval. Click a
second time to mark the end of the interval. The user may enter
the ends of the interval in either order, but CinePlex Editor always
