In what way is this software useful after adding annotations and other thing&nbsp; to the video what is the next step we can do <br>

ELAN facilitates stepping through the media frame by frame and segment the media frame-based and on multiple layers. Then it includes a search engine to query the data and to find patterns. It can create some simple statistics on the annotations and allows to export to tab-delimited text (which can be opened in a spreadsheet application).
How and what to segment and annotate depends on the research question. An example of a gesture coding system can be found in the NEUROGES-ELAN article accessible via this web page: http://mpi.nl/people/sloetjes-han/publications
