This means that there has to be a scale that appears underneath the video and the responses don't interrupt the playing of the video.<br/><br/>Is this possible using Inquisit?<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/>--IThu, 04 Aug 2016 16:35:00 GMTimxwanghttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic19479.aspxYes, this should be possible.<br/><br/>Play back the video via a &lt;block&gt;'s /bgstim. Set the &lt;block&gt;'s /timeout to the length of the video. Then, simply run a rating trial in an infinite loop. In a nutshell:<br/><br/>&lt;block myblock&gt;<br/>/ bgstim = (myvideo)<br/>/ timeout = 30000<br/>/ trials = [1=ratingtrial]<br/>&lt;/block&gt;<br/><br/>&lt;video myvideo&gt;<br/>/ items = ("example.mpg")<br/>/ size = (50%, 50%)<br/>&lt;/video&gt;<br/><br/>&lt;likert ratingtrial&gt;<br/>/ anchors = [1="slow"; 5="fast"]<br/>/ position = (50%, 90%)<br/>/ numpoints = 5<br/>/ anchorwidth = 5%<br/>/ branch = [likert.ratingtrial]<br/>&lt;/likert&gt;<br/><br/>Thu, 04 Aug 2016 16:35:00 GMTDave
