Are you working with NWB files?

NWB (.nwb) files are self-contained — EthoGraph loads them directly without any extra setup.

Yes — I have .nwb filesFrom DANDI, NeuroConv, or another NWB pipeline

No — I have raw files (video, audio, pose, ephys, ...)

Please select an option to continue.

What do you want to visualise in EthoGraph?

Select everything that applies. More questions may appear below based on your selection.

Videos.mp4 camera recordings

Pose estimationDeepLabCut, SLEAP, LightningPose — .h5/.csv/... files

Did you record from multiple cameras?

i.e. do you have multiple video files or multiple pose files.

No — single cameraOne video file and/or one pose file

Yes — multiple camerasMultiple video or pose files

Please answer this question.

How are your audio files organised?

This determines whether the Create dialog is sufficient or if a script is needed.

Single microphoneOne .wav (or .mp3) file

Multiple microphones in one multichannel fileE.g. all mics stored in a single .wav file with multiple channels

Multiple sound filesOne separate file per microphone

Please answer this question.

Please select at least one data type.

Does your data have a trial structure?

Choose Yes if either: (a) you have multiple separate files per stream (e.g. 20 video clips, one per trial), or (b) you have one continuous recording but want to define discrete trial windows within it (e.g. "trial 1 starts at t=45 s, trial 2 at t=2:30 min").

No — treat the whole recording as one sessionOne continuous video, audio, and/or ephys file with no defined trial boundaries

Yes — I have trials or epochsMultiple files per stream, or one continuous file with defined trial start/stop times
