“What are you trying to achieve”
I am trying to create my practice tasks for an experiment and need to present a video before the actual task. The cue is acting as either a cue or no cue.
The file is a .mp4 and was created using iMovie.
I have tried putting in a video stimulus and no matter what I have tried it does not run the experiment. prior to attempting this, my text, image, and sound stimuli were running perfectly but as soon as I tried putting in a video stimulus the whole experiment now does not run.
The error that it is coming up with is as follow:
2020-08-06 21:14:57.194 python[6582:11339363] ApplePersistenceIgnoreState: Existing state will not be touched. New state will be written to (null)

Experiment ended.
I have looked around on google and the psychopy forums and nothing I’ve come across has worked. I’ve made sure (from what I can tell) that my file name and path is correct. I even tried taking out a relative path and moved the video file out of a sub-folder.
I’m very new to using psychopy so it could very well be something super simple! Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks,
Lauren
