Easily synchronizing multiple videos

[kylecmsmith]

I'm coding from two different camera angles of the same experiment, but they have different start times. The only way I've found to synchronize them is to load each one individually, record the timestamps of a particular moment, calculate the number of seconds between them, and then load both media files into an observation. Is there an easier way to do this? If so, I'd appreciate any suggestions. If not, then I think a great feature would be letting the user select the same moment from multiple files and then synchronize them automatically based on that.

Thanks so much for your great program and everything you do with it!

Hi,
I do not understand very well what you have done.

However, at the moment the procedure to synchronize 2 or more videos is:

• load the video that starts first in the player 1 and keep the offset value to 0
• load the 2nd video and select player 2 and set the offset value to the timestamp difference

The 2 videos should be synchronously played.
