How-to guide for the Mental Edge Essentials tier ($24.99/month). Set up single-face facial movement analysis and review model-scored signals alongside source video.
Sign in to the Mental Edge portal. Select the Essentials subscription plan, complete the required fields, and start your 7-day free trial — no credit card required. Once setup is complete you will land on your workspace dashboard.
From the dashboard, add a new project, give it a descriptive title, and open it. Projects organize related videos and their analysis results in one place.
Upload your video file, give it a name, select the context, confirm consent, and start analysis. Mental Edge processes the video and tracks observable facial movement frame by frame for the single face in view.
Play the source video alongside time-coded model scores. The results panel presents expression-signal labels, distributions, comparisons, and downloadable data. Treat these as model outputs describing visible patterns, not verified thoughts, feelings, or intent.
The workspace overview shows billing status, remaining analysis time, and storage usage. Access the Help Center and support chat popup from within the workspace. Switch between workspaces from the top navigation bar.
Use the notification icon to review alerts and updates. Use the username dropdown to manage your profile, account settings, and password.
