We are currently arranging site visits in the San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego County to gather feedback from people who edit video with their computers. The site visits would be at your convenience in the place where you edit your videos, and would take 2 hours of your time. You would be asked to show and describe various aspects of your work with videos — we’ll be learning from you about the kinds of things you do and the issues you encounter. As thanks for your participation, you will receive $75 if you are chosen and are able to participate in the visits.

We are especially interested in interviewing participants who are younger (high school or college student) or older (retired).

If you are interested, please copy the questionnaire (below) into email and send your response to . We will contact you, if you are selected for the study.
