Choose Movie from the Insert menu, then choose Sample Movies. The last item in the folder is called &#8220;Original Video Files.&#8221; Choose this shortcut to open the folder. The actual location of the folder is described below.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with Logger <i>Pro<\/i> 3.8, experiment files and videos are installed in the Windows-standard location for application support files.

This means that it is hard to navigate directly to it without the shortcuts. To simplify navigation, you may want to set your Folder Options in Windows Explorer, View tab, to show hidden files, folders and drives.<\/p>\n<p>see also <a href=\"\/til\/2246\/\">Where does Logger <i>Pro<\/i> store experiment files?<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This answer is for Windows and not macOS.
