Today, we are surrounded by videos from various social platforms.
Since competition organizers, began broadcasting most sports events internationally and even regionally my video analysis software became the cornerstone of my work.
As an expert in video analysis, it's a fantastic source of new input for my video library or database. Naturally, videos must be edited and cut.
In figure skating, there are different programs the skater is performing with different durations. Depending on the event, there's no need to keep the whole program and the competition, or you need to get a massive amount of storage into your computer. It is better to cut the exciting part you are interested in.
I admit I keep all major international events for many years, so, yes, I invested in massive storage.
Taking the case of a jump, the air time of a triple jump is around 0.5 seconds. So, you edit and get a video clip that lasts 10s due to the jump's preparation and exit. Recording other technical elements like lifts or spins are also helpful to work for single and pair skating.
Using a clear and effective tagging system like Dartfish allows me to quickly find any videos I need to make a side-by-side comparison. This point is essential, especially when you make a lot of analysis.
