Before you can do anything with the analyzer, you need to add a video to the media container.

Loading a video from your catalog

Importing a video from YouTube
You can import a video from 3rd party hosting companies like YouTube and Vimeo, however there are cosmetic issues that are out of our control and may effect the way you perform analysis.
The biggest problem is 3rd part hosting companies like "YouTube" and "Vimeo" add their own overlays over every single video on their platform. So when videos are paused, you would get a big overlay like the one below:

Which blocks you doing any real analysis, and at the end of the video they embed adverts to other unrelated videos.

Saying that, we still allow youtube videos to be added.
To import a video from a 3rd party, its very simple.
1. First, you need to copy the url address of the video you want to add.
(Here, I am copying the youtube url link to the video)

Loading videos from your local device
1. Click the "load local video" button, or click "video" on the dropdown menu and select "Load Local Video"Due to browser limitations, you cannot automatically load locally stored files because of security implications.
So when you are working with projects, you need to remember that in order to save the project without any issues. You need to load a video from your catalog, or import it from a 3rd party.
Loading a video from your local device is actually recommended when using the "chalk and talk" feature.

Whichever way you use to add a video to the analyzer, when the video is loaded you will see the video length on the bottom right hand corner of the media container.
