Dynamic Code Matrix Hot Tips
Use the dynamic code matrix to compare two time ranges in a timeline. For example the first 10 minutes versus the last 10 minutes of play.
- Set the dynamic matrix ranges to the first 10 minutes of play.
- The data in the dynamic matrix can be copied and pasted into an Excel spreadsheet. See the Copy The Code Matrix as Table explanation.
- Set the ranges for the last 10 minutes of play and repeat the above procedure.
Note: To highlight the associated Instances within the timeline, hold down OPTION and click on the matrix. The Instances that fall in the time range in the matrix will now be selected in the timeline.

Customize a Matrix
The code matrix can be easily customized to display specific in depth analysis. Rows and columns can be deleted or added, labels can be put together using boolean operators: and, or, or not. After customizing and saving a code matrix it will be linked to the Timeline it was created from. It can be opened at another time to use to analyze another timeline or it may be selected directly and recalled from the Matrix icon in the toolbar of the Timeline it was created from.
