Video Highlight Generation

Ovo Studios' proprietary highlights generation engine enables you to make composite highlights from any video or screen recording sources that were active at the time an observation was logged. This is especially powerful since you can have up to eight computer screens and cameras being recorded at any one time.

Highlights may be created using any combination of video sources, such as:

video (i.e., camera)
screen recordings
eye tracking output.

Furthermore, for any video source, you can control the:

size (height and width)
position (top and left)
transparency.

For example, if you conduct a standard software usability test with a face camera shot, you could generate highlights a number of different ways. For example, you could generate a traditional picture-in-picture (PIP) layout (Image 1a) or an enlarged face shot PIP, located in top-right corner of screen with transparency (Image 1b) Note: All highlights are reduced for page layout - in reality they run full-screen.

Or, if you conduct an out-of-the-box test including a software installation for drivers or supporting applications, you could generate a four-part highlight (Image 2a) or a two-part highlight (Image 2b.)

The benefit of our video highlights approach is that it preserves the independence of your original video files as separate files, combining excerpts from selected files into a stand-alone highlight file

Why make highlights?

For those users who derive benefit from highlights, we have incorporated a robust, flexible, and fast highlight generation engine into Ovo Logger -- you do not need to purchase additional software to make highlights.

However, Ovo Logger has several features that might make highlight creation something you don't need to do anymore:

1. All logged observations link directly to time-stamped marks for all video sources that were active at the time you logged your observation, whether you log in real-time or from saved video.

2. You can associate logged observations with results and recommendations so readers can interrogate video data on an as-needed basis.

3. Our Virtual PIP technology enables you to select any two sources to be played in a picture-in-picture effect from any observation time-stamp. This maintains file separation while giving readers the face PIP they like.
