Behavioral logging from video

Hi everyone.  I wanted to ask if anyone has found a tool that they'd recommend for logging/coding behavior from video.  I've used BORIS and do like that (and it's free), but I wanted to see if there was anything else that might offer some more capability without getting too expensive or complicated to learn.  Not necessarily looking for automated analysis, just something to allow a human to translate the information in video data into a quantitative and analyzable format.

Hi @KylerA long time no speak! I've used BORIS mostly too, but I've also heard good things about CowLog, so could be worth a look. I also found this (now 4-year-old) paper that discusses a few different options, in case you hadn't seen it before. 

All the best,

Rob
