Video recording in Open Sesame
In my experiment I will show 40 pictures to each participant. There are 3 conditions, each condition shows 40 different pictures. While they view the pictures, they will describe what they see out loud. I will record their speech per picture, like so (see picture). So I will get 40 audio files per participant.
This seems to work fine, but now, in the same fashion, I also want to make video recordings of their faces during each picture. I installed VirtualDub and I got a Logitech webcam, so I thought that would be not too hard to program. But alas. I read that the video plug in of Open Sesame doesn't work properly, so I thought I would have to use Python programming to find a way around it. Anyone who can help me?
Kind regards,
Charlotte.
Note that the audio recordings are now set on 1sec, it probably will be around 5-10 when I start testing. The video recordings will have the same time frame.

Hi Charlotte,
Check this out:

I have never tried it and have no experience doing it, but from the quick look I had on their website, it looks like it might be useful to you.
Good luck,

Thank you. I tried it. It did not crash, but it did not do anything either.
My supervisor is working on it. If we find a way, I will post it here.
