Timestamps Support for Codifier

[Juan E. Sandoval]

Hello,
I'd like to introduce a pretty major update to the codifier ( https://cognitivetype.com/codifier/ ) - it now has integrated timestamping support. You'll notice now that when you go to the codifier page, the signals look like this:

And when you export a Report, the output will look like this:

How it works:

The codifier automatically adds the timestamp at the instance that you click on a signal's name. This makes it important that you be on the right still frame of the video when selecting the signal. If for whatever reason you made a mistake and need to delete the timestamp, click on the "X" button next to the timestamp and it will remove it.
(For now only one timestamp is saved at a time, but this can easily expand to more in a future update.)
Timestamps have always been part of the original vision of the codifier, and it's been a much requested feature. There are lots of reasons for why this is important, such as experimental control, repeatability, standardization and faster model improvements (by the quicker identification of signal inconsistencies). I hope this also makes the model easier to teach and to learn.
Let me know if you find any issues/bugs, I've been coding this all day and night, and am a bit tired so I wouldn't be surprised if there were! 🙂
Thank you all!

Great implementation, Auburn 🙂
In future updates will one be able to write a timestamp manually?

[Juan E. Sandoval]

Sure that should already be possible, I think? 🙂
You can manually insert text in the timestamps fields or modify them.

Oh you have to click on directly on the signal's titled text. I was only clicking the manually entry at first. Now I've found that out this feels awesome.
PS: It only seems to be able to support one video per export. Is it best practice to only watch one video then export that before moving to the next one? I remember Auburn when mention the importance of evaluating clips form difference ages of the elderly. Can you do something like putting a clicker mechanism the side of each signal? So the person verifying can click in the timestamp and then click the side clicker once for representing video 1 or twice for video 2 and so on...?
