When you start VideoSyncPro Studio, the currently selected Coding System and Subjects appear in the upper right corner:
On start-up, the first folder for both Subjects and Markers are selected automatically.
Additional Teams and Coding Systems may be listed here, always using the first icon found within the sub-folder to graphically represent the Team or Coding System:
| TIP: | There are two ways to specify such a custom icon: |
 | Rename an icon in your sub-folder to sort it in front - which affects the tag entered by that icon. |
| Add an icon to represent your sub-tags to the top-level folder (the one holding the sub-folder) AND name it precisely like the folder holding your sub-tags. |
Markers only
If NO Subjects folder is present in your VideosSyncPro Studio Data folder, the Subjects drop-down disappears.
The first Coding System inside your Marker folder is automatically selected. Thus, the icons available inside your just created Coding System folder appear in the marker section, like this:
▪To enter a specific term into your log file, click the corresponding Marker icon.

Note: Each top-level folder inside the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Mangold VideoSyncPro Studio Data\Marker folder represents a standalone coding system, which can be selected from the drop-down list above the Marker section.
Subjects and Markers
