Consultations

If you are having trouble getting started, or have gotten stuck moving forward with your analysis, don’t feel bad.  The analysis of video is inherently complicated and there are multiple steps involved in preparing and making sense of video data.  In addition, Transana is a very powerful, flexible tool, so there are a lot of options in the software that you may not even be aware of. 

There are many free training tools available on the Transana web site, including the Tutorial, the ScreenCasts, and asking questions through the Contact form.  While these work well for many people a lot of the time, we occasionally hear from people who want or need something that’s a little bit more.

That’s where consultations come it.  For example, if you want help figuring out how implement a particular analytic methodology, or want guidance about how best to organize your particular data in Transana, and you can’t figure out the answer from looking at relevant parts of the Tutorial and ScreenCasts, these are probably best discussed in a one-on-one online consultation.  Or perhaps you’d like to have one of our experts come to your campus to meet with your research team to get them jump-started, then to follow up with a monthly online meeting.
