user guide.
sportsense helps you better leverage video while coaching in person or remotely. In this guide, we walk through how to use the app. Select a section below to get started.
Analyze.
Everything you need to break down video. From importing media to drawing annotations and running skeleton analysis.
Adding Media to sportsense
- Record will open the sportsense recorder, which you can use to quickly take videos and add them to your sportsense media library.
- Click the top right plus button to add videos from your phone.
- The bottom menu navigates between your video library, the sportsense camera, and share.
- Filter by Type, User and Date in the top menu lets you sort videos by standard values, or tagging.
- The users you can tag come from people you're in a feed with.
- Long Press a media item to perform different actions on it.
Analyzing a Video
- Tap on a video to enter the analyzer from the library or a feed.
- Swipe left or right to move between library videos while in the analyzer.
- The bottom menu has useful tools for analysis.
- Drawing includes lines and angles.
- Pinpoint a moment with the haptic scroller.
- Adjust with frame-by-frame for precision timing.
Compare, Race Time & Ghost Mode
Compare videos by selecting the black and white square in the menu.
- Once comparing, select RaceTime (racing flags). This allows you to line up two clips, and compare the time of each clip - showing who was faster with an interval (e.g. +0.5 s).
- This works best when comparing two clips with a common point to point.
- You can also see the clip duration while cropping.
Ghost Mode is another type of comparison, and can be selected while using compare, or RaceTime.
- This method of comparison works best with fixed cameras, or head / body tracking of the athlete.
- Ghost mode is useful for super direct comparisons of technique.
Annotations, Angles & Skeleton
- Simply draw on the video to annotate.
- The annotations menu has multiple options for drawing. If you make a mistake, select the back arrow on the far left of the draw menu.
- Exit the draw menu and the annotations will disappear.
- Skeleton (ball and stick model) is an excellent tool for frame by frame and slow-mo analysis.
- Tap again for the Center of Gravity tracker.
- To identify angles use the angle draw function in the annotations menu OR tap two segments of the skeleton to quickly compare an angle around a joint.

Record Coaching Feedback

- Adding feedback allows you to make final edits to the video, and write or transcribe a description for the post.
- Actions and users are tagged with your voice or audio in the video.
- You can tag the sport of a video (automatically set if posting to a feed with a sport set already).
Creating / Editing a FeedPro
A feed is a private group where all video, feedback, messaging, and files are shared on the app. Feeds are used to share videos from an in-person coaching session, track progress over time, and coach athletes remotely with video.
- Create a feed in the share tab (top right plus button). Click on the feed title in a feed to edit.
- Anyone can create a private feed. Group feeds and reference feeds require a Pro license.
- Name the feeds, add an image to personalize.
- You can set a sport on a feed to unlock future features like suggested reels.
- Tips can be turned on if you have set up to receive payments in feed create/edit.
- You can disable posting for non-admins as well as toggle on/off the chat section of a feed.
- Your athletes/clients are always able to post to a feed, even without a license.
- Feeds will show up in the order of recent activity.
Inviting Clients
You can invite others to a feed if you are the feed admin. If you create a feed you are a feed admin. Private feeds can only have one other member. You can use QR codes, email address, or a link to add people to a feed.
Share a Link to a Post
Videos within feeds can be sent to clients/athletes via URL without them needing to download sportsense.
Reference LibrariesPro
Reference libraries are feeds that allow training associations and businesses to share videos to be used in comparisons. You must have a Pro license to create one. You can add other users to them like any other feed.
