VideoPoint® and VideoPoint® Capture

One of the most exciting features of Logger Pro 3 is the ability to incorporate digital video within the program. Two significant uses of this feature are

1. A movie can be recorded while sensor-based data are collected. The movie can then be inserted into Logger Pro, synchronized with the data, and replayed for further analysis.
2. A movie can be recorded and inserted into Logger Pro for direct video analysis. This use is independent of any data-collection equipment, with data being collected directly from the movie itself.

Both of these uses are very exciting, and lead to numerous educational opportunities. Logger Pro comes with an extensive series of videos, which we hope will inspire you and your students to collect your own videos. However, since most science and math teachers have little experience taking and importing movies into a computer, we are asked many questions about this process.

To answer these questions, we have prepared a booklet called “Video and Logger Pro—A Guide to Getting Started,” which is a free download!

Using VideoPoint® and VideoPoint® Capture
As mentioned above, video analysis is a process in which position and time data are collected from digital videos. Logger Pro software has basic video analysis, but advanced video-analysis capabilities are available in VideoPoint software, which is now available from Vernier.

VideoPoint Capture
If you decide to record and analyze your own movies, VideoPoint Capture software simplifies capturing video from digital sources and converting them into analyzable movies. VideoPoint Capture is compatible with most video-capture hardware on both the Macintosh® and Windows® platforms. With this powerful software tool, real-world movies can be captured by your students, and then analyzed using Logger Pro or VideoPoint.

VideoPoint and VideoPoint Capture can be purchased separately or in combination. The order codes and pricing for various combinations are below. For more details about VideoPoint and VideoPoint Capture, go to www.vernier.com/soft/videopoint.html.
