When coding video, two screens are displayed, shown below. One screen has the video playing. The other main screen has the controls and a button to begin and end a coded segment. The controls window shows the codes in the bottom left pane and the .transcribed file text is shown in the bottom right pane. When coding audio, only the main screen is shown.

The transcription text can also be coded and annotated in this window. Right-clicking on a timestamp in the transcription will give you a menu option to go to that section of the video. If a video has multiple audio tracks, you can change the audio track too. Checking the scroll checkbox allows the transcript to scroll in time with the video, based on detected timestamps, however, you need to uncheck the scroll to be able to code the transcript.

Coding stripes for the coded segments are shown in the upper pane. Hovering the mouse over each stripe shows the code name, time segment and any memo attached to that coded segment. Right clicking on a coded segment stripe shows a menu that can be used to edit the memo, flag as an Important segment or delete the coded segment. Coded stripes are shown on various lines so that they do not overlap.

Important coded texts, such as exemplars for a report, can be flagged Important by using the right-click menu when on the coded text and selecting Important. Similarly, code segments can be flagged Important. At the top of the screen is a button with a star symbol. This toggles between showing all coded text and segments or Important coded text and segments.

You do need to have a current 64-bit version of VLC installed, as QualCoder looks for this and uses VLC for audio and video display.

# Categories and codes

Categories are used to organise codes. Categories are organised hierarchically in a tree structure. You can move codes into categories and move categories into larger categories. You can move categories and codes out of their current position. Codes and categories can be merged by dropping a code onto a code or a category onto a category. Categories and codes can be assigned memos. Right-click on a category or code to rename. Right click on a code to change the color.

Then enter text in the text box. This will then only show codes that contain that text. Enter nothing into the text box and press OK to show all codes again.

You can apply a range of colours to a range of selected codes, rather than rely in the random generated colours or a one at a time change of colours for each code. In this area you can also view how the code colours may appear to someone who has a variety of colour blindness: red-weak, red blind, green-weak or green blind.
