On this topic I have some experience and am fairly familiar with the limitations of EPrime.<br><br>I have successfully imported .avi files into EPrime. As you will notice in either the slide/movie image or movie feature you can indicate a start and stop time. The issue there seems to be duration, too short - as in ms - and you have problems. Since I did need ms clips I edited my video files into frame sequence video clips and saved as .avi files and successfully imported them to run in sequence. Because EPrime runs on a PC you have to run universal movie files compatible with PCs - I have had the most success with .avi files. Based on my experience you can generate a movie and/or use an existing movie so long as it is saved as an .avi. A great deal of trial and error was involved in determining what kind of files would open in EPrime, might be different with your system. Essentially, I saved my footage in a number of formats and then tested what would open. The issue I have had using video is the timing. I am looking to present 100ms clips and that becomes more complicated as EPrime seems to have issues loading the files quickly enough. Working on that issue as we speak.<br>
<br>Hope this is helpful though very after the fact.<br>Lisa Levinson <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 3:36 PM, David McFarlane <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mcfarla9@msu.edu">mcfarla9@msu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I first checked in the New Features Guide, and did a cursory search through the PST Knowledge Base, the PST Forum, and the E-Prime Google Group, and did not find this addressed anywhere, so I hope I have done my homework at least as well as I expect others to :).<br>
<br>
Two related questions:<br>
<br>
1) Suppose we want to make some short clips from a larger, existing movie file for use in E-Prime. What software would you recommend for this?<br>
<br>
2) Suppose we want to record our own movie clips from scratch for use in E-Prime. What systems would you recommend for that?<br>
<br>
I might also reframe those questions as, "What did *you* use?" or, "What worked for *you*?"<br>
<br>
Note that the KB and online discussions have addressed at length how to get *existing* clips to work with E-Prime (installing codec libraries, etc.). I instead want to avoid those problems by preparing our clips in the first place in a way that plays well with E-Prime "out-of-the-box". Any advice?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
