Video resources

The collection of instructional videos linked below guides researchers and students through essential technical skills needed for multimodal conversation analysis. Designed especially for newcomers to the field, these concise tutorials break down complex processes into clear, manageable steps – from basic video preparation through to detailed multimodal transcription.

Following a natural research workflow, the series demonstrates practical techniques using tools like ELAN, LosslessCut, and VLC, making technical aspects of multimodal research more accessible to researchers at all levels of technical proficiency.
