Imported Video and Audio Projects

About Imported Video and Audio Projects

The Imported Video and Audio project allows you to import media files into Qualtrics to analyze recorded responses in the video editor. When analyzing your imported responses, you can review the response’s sentiment, assign tags based on the response content, and organize responses into highlight reels.

Imported Video and Audio projects are particularly useful for:

• Reviewing longer recordings for qualitative feedback
• Analyzing in-depth interviews
• Presenting highlighted focus group data

Clips and Analysis

The Clips and analysis tab of the video editor displays all of your uploaded files. Use this area to filter responses, create clips, read transcripts, and assign tags.

Transcript & Sentiment

Click on a response to see the automatically generated transcript. This contains sentiment data, allowing you to pinpoint how your respondent felt at different moments throughout the recording.

Click on a word to be brought to that moment in the response. As you watch the recording, the transcript will bold the word that the respondent is currently saying. You can hover over phrases to see what the associated sentiment is.

The Tools dropdown provides a number of options for viewing your response transcript.

• Hide transcript: Removes the transcript to only show the video.
• Hide sentiment highlighting: Removes sentiment highlighting.
• Download response: Downloads the response as an .mp4 file.

Creating a Clip

If you want to highlight a specific portion of your video or audio file, create a clip to separate it from the rest of the response.

1. Click on a response.
   
2. Click Create a clip.
   
3. Name the clip.
   
4. Enter a description of the clip, if you’d like.
5. Select your clip using the blue highlight tool to choose the start and end times. Alternatively, click Advanced clip tools to specify an exact start and end timestamp for your clip.
   
   Qtip: To fine-tune your recording’s length, use the Clip length field in the Advanced clip tools menu.
6. If Topic recommendations is enabled, choose the tags you’d like to assign to the clip. Sentiments will be tagged by default, but you can remove these by clicking the X next to the tag.
   
7. Type into the Add tags section to add additional tags. You can add multiple tags by separating them with a comma, or pressing Enter on your keyboard.
8. Click Save clip when finished. You will be unable to edit the timestamps after you click save, so be sure your clip is the desired length before saving.
   Qtip: It may take several minutes to process your clip.
9. If you’d like to add the clip to a highlight reel, select the desired reel and clip location in the reel.
   
10. Click Add to reel. To skip this step, click Don’t add.

Your clips will be saved to the Saved clips section of the Clips and analysis section. You can click on a clip to edit its name, description, and tags. To delete a clip, click the trash icon.
