Dear readers,
at the moment I am writing a program with following features:1. the subject is presented a string of letters/numbers, which shall be remembered 2. a video is presented that should be evaluated 3. after the video presentation, the string of letters/numbers shall be written down
What I am struggling about is following: after the video stimuli are played, I want them to to be erased. However, the videos´ durations vary. Meaning, I can´t just program a timeout. Additionaly, whileeach video scene is erased after finishing, a question about the video scene shall be shown (I do not want to present the question while the video scene is still presented).
How do I manage to erase the video frame and to present my question simultaneously?
Thank you very much in advance for your help! And best greetings!
This is what I have so far:

You'll have to separate the video-display and follow-up question into separate <trial>s. In a nutshell you do
<video myvideo>... / playthrough = true </video>
<trial showmyvideo> / stimulusframes = [1=myvideo] / timeout = 10 / validresponse = (noresponse) / branch = [trial.showquestionaboutmyvideo] ... </trial>
<trial showquestionaboutmyvideo> |

Dear Dave, thank you very much for your fast answer!

Just pointing out the key thing here: Setting /playthrough = true for your <video> elements will force the <trial> to play them to the end *despite* the shorter /timeout. This will accommodate for the videos' varying durations automatically.

Dear Dave, in regard to the experiment from above I have a question about the isntruction feature. In my experiment there are 3 instruction pages at the beginning. I programmed the button for "next page" in German. On the third instruction page my adjustments jump back to default with a "next page" button in English. I do not figure out why my program switches to default at that point of time. It would be great, if you could help me with that! Thanx a lot in advance!

The label for the 'next' button for the *last* page in a set of instruction pages must be set via the <instruct> element's /finishlabel attribute.
