Tool for Coding Video

Just saw a tangential reference to this on a visual studies listserv, and wonder if anyone has tried it (or wants to try it and post their evaluation).

Transana is software for professional researchers who want to analyze digital video or audio data. Transana lets you analyze and manage your data in very sophisticated ways. Transcribe it, identify analytically interesting clips, assign keywords to clips, arrange and rearrange clips, create complex collections of interrelated clips, explore relationships between applied keywords, and share your analysis with colleagues. The result is a new way to focus on your data, and a new way to manage large collections of video and audio files and clips.

Used to be free, now $50/user/computer. (Not clear to me if it’s 2 x $50 for 1 user, 2 computers).
