    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
