Quick Start Guide Follow these steps to get up and running, perform your first Uplift Capture assessment, and review your results. Questions along the way? Email us at [support@uplift.ai](mailto:support@uplift.ai). ## Getting started Uplift Capture assesses an athlete's movement in full 3D using only 1 or 2 iOS devices, and generates biomechanical data and movement insights that empower coaches, trainers, clinicians, and organizations to evaluate player movement health, improve performance, and reduce injury risk. 1. The Uplift Capture app takes **high-speed video of an athlete's movement** using 1 or 2 iOS devices, and uploads those videos to the Uplift cloud for analysis. 2. Using Uplift's proprietary AI-powered computer vision models, the athlete's movement is **reconstructed in full 3D**. Uplift's biomechanical analysis turns this 3D data into **kinematic metrics, velocities, movement flags, and more**. 3. Uplift's web platform reports on the athlete's assessment results, surfacing **metrics, insights, and recommendations** to guide organizations and coaches to **measure athletic ability, fix movement inefficiencies, improve performance, and reduce injury risk**. Uplift Capture runs on **Apple iOS devices that support 240fps video capture**. Before getting started, confirm your devices meet our requirements. Getting solid captures and reliable results also requires **mounting your devices on tripods** with sturdy mounts. Review our list of recommended capture equipment to make your assessments as successful as possible. **Download the Uplift Capture app** and install it on all devices you'll be using for Capture. After installing the app, **log into your account on both devices**. **Very important:** make sure you **allow permissions for the app to access the camera and microphone** and **discover devices on the local network**. We also recommend enabling automatic updates so you always have the latest features.

When you run your first assessment, you'll select a movement protocol, and an athlete you'd like to assess. While you can create an athlete profile on-the-fly in the app before starting an assessment, creating them ahead of time in the web app will save you time later. Log in to the web app at [platform.uplift.ai](http://platform.uplift.ai), click **Athletes** in the menu on the left, and click the **Add Athlete** button in the upper right to create athlete profiles. ## Running your first assessment * Fully charged * Logged into the same Uplift account * Connected to the same WiFi network Then gather your tripods, mounts, and any other capture equipment. * Good lighting * No baggy clothing or all-black outfits * Space to capture the entire movement If your location does not have a solid WiFi connection, consider capturing in offline mode. Start by selecting your movement. Sports movements - like baseball swings or tennis serves - can be found under the **Sports Performance** option. General movements like squats, jumps, and functional range-of-motion tests are found under **Movement Assessments**. Some movements can also be captured with a single camera. This step is where you'll choose between 1-camera and 2-camera capture. Check out our up-to-date list of movements available in 1-camera capture. After choosing your movement, select the athlete you'll be assessing (or create a new athlete profile). For handed movements like pitching, swinging, or serves, **make sure you select the proper handedness** - it will affect your camera setup instructions in the next step. Now you'll be guided through camera setup instructions. Camera setup follows these steps: 1. Choosing your orientation (landscape vs. portrait) 2. Choosing your preferred camera positions 3. Placing your cameras so they can see the entire movement 4. Measuring and entering the distance from each camera to the athlete's position 5. Adjusting the camera's tilt to ensure a level video This video demonstrates proper camera setup - watching it before your first session will help you set up like a pro! Once your devices show **Complete**, you're ready to start recording!
