lowing illustration idx indicates the 4th occurrence of this marker and t indicates
its time in seconds:
In the Activity window, the user may also drag selected marker occurrences to
different times; this enables the user to make minor adjustments to the positioning
of marker occurrences. To drag a marker occurrence to a new time, hold down the
SHIFT key, click the marker occurrence, and drag it to a new time. For Intervaltype
markers, the user may independently adjust the start and end times; for
selection techniques, see the preceding paragraphs.
4.5.9 Entering or Editing Coordinate Markers
In the Input window (see “Input Window” on page 223), if the user chooses
Insert for the Left-Click input and the selected marker is a Coordinate marker,
the user may enter or change coordinates by clicking in the Video window. If the
Video window is in the mode where a left-click can change or add new Coordinate
marker occurrences, the mouse pointer in the Video window changes to
crosshairs and a line of text at the bottom of the window shows the current coordinates.
Because CinePlex Editor can enable only one marker occurrence for any given
time, if the user enters a new coordinate at the time of an existing marker occurrence,
the user effectively replace the existing coordinates. Thus, if the Coordinate
marker occurrences occur at the same time as the Frame marker occurrences,
the user may touch up existing coordinates with a simple click on the new location.
By default, the Click-To-Add feature (see “Left-Click Insertion” on page 178)
automatically advances a number of frames, so if the user continually clicks in
the Video window he/she can quickly enter a sequence of coordinates on subsequent
video frames.
Importing Markers
CinePlex Editor can import additional markers and marker occurrences from
additional neural data files into an existing project. The user may add neural data
files to the project and process them as during the initial import of neural data
when the project was first created (see “Setting Up a New Project” on page 165).
The user may turn their events (from PLX files) or variables (from NEX files)
into the appropriate markers and marker occurrences.
To import markers, from the File menu, click Import Markers to open a Windows
file selection dialog box for the neural data file. After selecting the file,
click OK to import the data from that file as new markers. CinePlex Editor must
have unique marker names, so if a marker name from the imported neural data
files conflicts with an existing marker, CinePlex Editor renames the file by add-
