Check that you are using the recommended version of Logger Pro

• Mac:  You should be running Logger Pro 3.10.2  which should be able to open most movies with the .mov file extension.
• Windows – You have TWO options:
  • You may use Logger Pro 3.12 Beta. Download it from this page: http://www.vernier.com/til/3754/. It should be able to open most movies with the .mp4 file extension. (Please note that the movies might not play smoothly in this version, but you will still be able to do the video analysis by placing points every frame.)
  • If you have Quicktime on your computer, you can use Logger Pro 3.10.1, and your best bet for success is the .mov file extension

Movies for Video Analysis
You will need to download the movie from the list below and then insert it into Logger Pro. (Read above to determine whether the .mp4 or the .mov file format is most likely to work with your operating system and version of Logger Pro, but if one doesn’t work, try the other one!)  To download a movie, right click or control-click on the file name and choose “Download linked file”.
