What is an "Experiment"?
An experiment is a folder in which all videos are contained - similar to a folder on your computer.

What is a "Trial"?
Videos contain trials (or samples), each video can contain multiple trials, either one after the other, or side-by-side.

What is a "Video"?
A video file that you have uploaded into an Experiment.

What is "Transcoding"?
In order to score and track videos they have to be in our unique video format. Transcoding is the process of changing the video format from the format they are captured in to our format.

What is "Quota"?
Each subscription has a quota applied - this is the total amount of video data that can be stored at any one time. If a file is deleted a different file can easily be uploaded in its place.
