  live capture and analysis – sports

  Posted by Jon Banker on January 2, 2008 at 4:07 pm

  I don’t know if this is the best forum for this question, any suggestions are welcome.

  I’m looking into what it would take to:
  Video a student doing a gymnastics tumbling pass
  And immediately show that student the pass on a monitor (Or even laptop)
  And even be able to draw (John Madden like) lines to show proper positioning
  – I am looking to enhance the students ability to see/understand what they are doing.

  What type of equipment/software would be needed. (I am hoping to find a solution that uses consumer level equipment – high cost gear will probably make this a dream only)

  I currently have:
  G5 mac dual 2.0 / Final Cut Studio / Sony minidv

  Thank you,
  Jon Banker

  Firewire from camera to laptop, use freeware/shareware like Scenalyzer to capture the video and be able to step-frame thru it. There is a separate application that imitates what a telestrator can do, I’ll have to look it up and get back to you on that. Meanwhile, look at this and see if will help:

  Heck, I didn’t didn’t know I could go from cam to computer directly. (I thought I needed some other hardware/software.) However, I tried it with FCP in ‘uncontrollable device’ mode and it works!

  The easy way from here is to just step through it in FCP.

  Thanks,
  Jon
