Video Analysis Software by AllSportSystems

• After taping the ball, record the shot from a position where you can see the ball rolling down the lane
• On the Analyze screen, advance the video to a point where the tape is horizontal, or as close to horizontal as you can get.
• Press the RPMs button. You will be instructed to “draw a line” through the bottom portion of the tape.
• After drawing the line, you will be instructed to “advance the video through one complete revolution of the ball.
• After advancing the video draw a second line through the top portion of the tape.
• The RPMs will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

In split-screen mode, the drawing tools will work on both the left and right videos only if they are the same dimensions. Both videos must match in terms of their resolution (720×480, or 640×480, etc). If the two video files are not the same resolution then the drawing tools will work only on the left video.

NOTE: MotionView 7.2 and above removes the above limitation and permits drawings on all videos, regardless of their dimensions.

The scissors buttons allow you to trim the contents of one or optionally two video files. After the trimming is complete the video file(s) will contain only the contents that were selected using the BEGIN and END function. Be very careful when trimming video files, since this cannot be undone! Here’s how to use the scissors:

• Position the left video to the beginning point of the action you wish to ‘keep’. If you are working in Split Screen mode and intend to trim both videos simultaneously then position the RIGHT video to the beginning point as well.
• Press the BEGIN button to identify the starting point from which to trim.
• Position the left (and optionally the right) video to the end point and press END.

Once you’ve identified a range of video you may use the LEFT scissors icon to trim the left file, or the RIGHT scissors icon to trim the right file, or the DOUBLE SCISSORS icon to trim both files.

Yes you can! Notice the small grey bar that shows up underneath your videos when you have two files open. Click your mouse anywhere inside that grey bar underneath the left video, and you will find that the RIGHT video will ’slide over’ to that position. Use this feature to position the right hand video as far over on top of the left as you can, without overlapping the athlete in the left video.

Now you can ZOOM out (use the + key) and you will find that both videos can make fuller use of the available screen space.

Yes it can! We have customers with cameras that shoot 1,000 frames per second using MotionView to analyze the video. These cameras store the footage internally during capture, so the video is first transferred to the computer outside of MotionView, where it can then be opened and analyzed.

Conversion to 60FPS takes place on the “Export Video Options” panel. To convert a video file from 30FPS to 60FPS take the following steps:

. Open the 30FPS video in MotionView, and trim any excess.
. Click the Export Video icon.
. On the Export Video Options panel select “Convert raw video into 60FPS”.
. Click OK and choose a filename for your new video.

This will produce a new video file in 60FPS. Your 30 FPS video will not be affected. Note that 60FPS conversion only works on video files that are “interlaced”, such as AVI files that were captured over firewire or over our USB Video Capture cable. You cannot convert WMV, MOV, MPEG, or other formats into 60FPS.

We are pleased to announce that as of today, Feb 6, 2008, both MotionView and MotionClip no longer require administrator priveleges to run under Vista!
