Creating Audio and Video Sources

When you import an audio or video file, NVivo automatically creates an audio or video source in the selected Internals folder. Refer to Importing Media Files into Sources for more information.

You can also create an audio or video source without a media file—this is useful if your media file is not ready to be imported and you want to prepare the transcript now but add the associated file later.

To create an audio or video source

  1. In Navigation View, click on the Internals folder.

  2. On the Main toolbar, click the New button:

       |

  1. Click the Audio or Video in this folder option.

The New Audio/Video dialog box is displayed.

  1. Enter a name for the audio/video source.

  2. If required, enter a description.

  3. Click OK.

The source is created without a media file. It also contains an 'empty' transcript —you can enter or import transcript content as required.  You can add the media file at a later stage, refer to Importing Media Files into Sources for more information.
