You’ve started an assessments and set up your cameras; now you’re ready to record movements.

​
You have 3 options to facilitating recording:

  1. Start/stop recording by tapping the record button right on the primary device
  2. Connect a bluetooth remote to control recording
  3. Connect another iOS device and use it as a remote control to facilitate the assessment
Because tapping the primary device can cause the device to shake (and because it’s sometimes placed in an inaccessible area), Uplift recommends using option 2 or 3.

​
Uplift Capture recording screen

The Uplift Capture recording screen includes the following elements:
  1. Header: displays current movement, athlete name, the device (Primary / Secondary / Remote) and a few other controls.
  2. Video window: displays the current camera view. On remote control devices, this will be blank.
  3. Camera timer control to switch between short and long timer modes (or auto-capture, if capturing a supported movement)
  4. Record button: to start and stop recording, or indicate recording status if using a remote.
  5. Clip timer and clip count: displays recording time of the current clip, and how many clips you’ve captured in this assessment.
  6. End session button: to end the current assessment
Primary and Remote control devices will display the recording controls, while the Secondary device will just display the video and the device indicator.

​
Chosing camera timer

Every movement has 2 timer options: a short timer and a long timer. Choose whichever one is most comfortable to ensure you capture the entire movement in the video. Note: when using the long timer, it is highly recommended to manually end the recording rather than letting the timer run out.

​
Auto-capture

Auto-capture is a new feature that automatically detects and records a movement, and is currently only available for 1-camera hitting captures. Learn more about auto-capture here.

Recording a movement

When manually recording a movement - whether from a bluetooth remote or an iOS device, you tap the red record button once to start a recording. The bottom of the screen will turn red indicating the video is recording. To end a recording, you can either
  1. Let the timer run out on its own
  2. Tap again to end the recording
Uplift Capture works best when the video contains the whole movement, but not a lot of extra video after the movement, so it’s highly recommended to end the recording manually if possible.
Tips:
  • Uplift Capture works best when the video contains the whole movement, but not a lot of extra video after the movement, so it’s highly recommended to end the recording manually if possible.
  • Make sure the video catches the entire movement - if the beginning or end is cut off, it will not process successfully.
When the recording is done, there will be a short processing step, and then a chime will indicate that you’re ready to record the next movement. Once you’ve recorded the desired number of movements, you’re ready to end the assessment.
