Qualitative analysis of Video
Four analytic issues to touch upon today
• Transcription as analysis
• Staying close to the data
• Data-mining and hypothesis-testing
• Collaboration in the analysis of video
Transcription as Analysis
• Video is more powerful than text
• Text is more accessible for most researchers
• Transana links the video and the transcript
• Transcript is displayed along with video
• Selecting in transcript positions the video
Transcription As Analysis
• Jeffersonian

Staying Close to the data
• Coded Clips in Context
• N*Vivo requires short video clips created
outside the analytic software, coded as a whole
• Transana handles raw video, allows the easy
creation and coding of virtual clips.
• This allows a smaller unit of analysis, more precise
coding.
• This allows looking at the context of the clip
• This allows looking at coding over time
Examing Coding over time
Keyword Searching
• Complex boolean searches
• Data mining
• Simple searches
• Hypothesis testing
• Multiple complex searches
• Search results converted to collections
Collaboration in real time
• Sharing analytic data with collaborators in real time
Collaboration with Transana
• Sharing Analytic Data (Lyn’s plenary)
• Sharing of Video Data – transferring large
files without Human Subject risk (Sandra’s
presentation)
• Communication tools inside and outside the
software
• Future directions – Remote control? VOIP?
Data Sharing Bundles? Other ideas?
•Transana is FREE.
•It’s open source.
•It’s available for Windows and Mac OS X.
