App Overview
Features:
- Frame-by-frame analysis with ability to zoom, draw lines to focus on particular areas, discover angles, and play back in slow motion
- Analyze two separate videos side by side, with flexibility to play back/comment on only one or both at the same time
- Access images and videos directly from your camera roll
- Share images in HD
Tip: Watch demo videos and sample reviews of other coaches by tapping on the settings icon or checking out the developer's website.
Instructional Ideas
- Use as an assessment tool by recording a base video for each of your young athletes, and then after practicing and developing a targeted skill for a period of time, take a final video and review progress together
- Have learners try a skill three consecutive times, each time making a small adjustment, and then analyze movements side by side
- After illustrating how to analyze a movement with the app, partner-up students and have them practice giving each other feedback
Classroom Considerations
There is no side-by-side viewing capacity if you are using the app on a mobile device rather than on a tablet.
If allowing class members to use the app on their own, be aware of social media and sharing capacities. For example, Request a Video Lesson allows users to e-mail the developer for a tutorial on their video.
Pros
- Opportunity to provide visual, immediate feedback
- Personalized coaching and instruction
Cons
- Since app is best used for individual feedback, projection of images and feedback may be needed for larger class sizes
