Alternative media location

When visualizing and animating tracks, EthoVision XT needs the corresponding video files. If EthoVision XT does not find the video files in the Media Files folder of the experiment, it looks in the folder specified under Alternative media location.

This can happen, for example, when you copy an experiment to another computer and the video files are not stored in the Media Files folder of the experiment, but on a different folder external to the experiment, or even a different drive. When you open the experiment on the second computer, EthoVision does not find the video files.

To have EthoVision XT look for videos in an additional location, click Browse and select the correct location.
