  Hi Lola,

  I move your topic to the proper sub-forum. Then it is more likely that @Pascal will see it

  Good luck!

  Hi there,

  thanks, Eduard, for moving the question.

  @Lola: Together with colleagues, I developed the mousetrap plugins to facilitate mouse-tracking in OpenSesame. More information on the plugins including example experiments can be found here: https://github.com/pascalkieslich/mousetrap-os. A book chapter that includes a tutorial here: https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315160559-9 (free preprint: https://psyarxiv.com/zuvqa/).

  However, I think that it is not possible to use the mousetrap plugin to record mouse movements while a video is presented in OpenSesame. For presenting videos in OpenSesame, you probably should use the media_player_mpy plugin (https://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.3/manual/stimuli/video/) and I don't think that the mousetrap_response plugin could run in parallel to it. However, the media_player_mpy plugin allows you to specify custom Python code (see its help documentation), so maybe you can use this feature to record mouse movements during the video. However, this is unrelated to mousetrap so in case you have question concerning this plugin you should probably reach out to the OpenSesame team in the OpenSesame category.

  Best,

  Pascal
