Recording your matches correctly is the most important step in getting accurate, reliable AI breakdowns. Following these tips helps ensure your film processes smoothly and delivers the best results.
Recording Requirements
Following these requirements helps ensure accurate AI tracking and smooth processing.
Record from the middle of the back baseline on your team’s side (or as close as possible)
Avoid obstacles such as line judges, spectators, or equipment*
Frame the court correctly:
All four corners of the opposite court should be visible
Include the two far endline corners and the two corners under the antennae
Use a tripod:
Minimum height: 5 ft
Recommended height: 8–10 ft
Record in 1080p resolution at 30 or 60 fps
Most newer devices default to these settings
If unsure, search how to adjust recording settings for your device
Maintain one continuous recording per set
If using the mobile app, you may pause between sets
Do not tap Save and Exit until the entire match is finished
Record horizontally using a standard lens
Do not zoom out
Avoid wide-angle, fish-eye, or .5x lenses
