The Transana main screen looks like this:

Note:
The Transana main screen is made up of five components: the menu bar, the Video window, the Visualization window, the Transcript window, and the Data window.

• The menu bar provides basic Transana program controls.

• The Video window displays the video you are analyzing.

• The Visualization window displays a waveform of the video in the Video window.

• The Transcript window provides tools for transcribing the video in the Video window.

• The Data window provides an overview of the structure of your data. Data is arranged in a tree structure, with your database name at the top. Each item under the database name is called a "node." When you right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) on a node, Transana opens up a submenu that provides options specific to that node. The information in the Data window is the" database tree."
