How to Improve the Precision of Syncing a Video in the OpenField Console
In OpenField you can trim video off the start and end time of an imported video by using the embedded crop feature of a Synced Video widget.
By default you are able to crop 1 second increments off of the start and end of the imported video. To improve the precision of syncing a Video to data in the OpenField console, you can reduce the 1 second increment to milliseconds via a simple command in the OpenField console.
- Import and sync video into an OpenField activity. For more information on this process, please see our Integrate Video in the OpenField Console article.
- With the Activity loaded in OpenField, press the tilde '~' key on your keyboard to open the command window.
- Type in 'set Video.NudgeSmall=50' and press Enter.Note: The number entered in after the = sign is divided into 1000 ms to create a specific amount of increments within a second. (i.e. 1000/50 = 20 increments within a second or 1000/500 = 2 increments within a second). Change the 50 for a smaller number for more precision.
- Press the tilde key '~' to close the command window.
