Once the AI breaks down your video, a few setup steps help ensure everything processes correctly.
We automatically break down the video once it’s uploaded. We’ll use AI to identify the vast majority of actions and players in your game footage. This also allows us to get more insights like ball trajectory and attack speed. After the AI processes the video our analysts will review the game to complete the breakdown. Like before, there may be some players we cannot identify. Rather than guess, we’ll flag these to you for review. At any point, the icons shown below will appear on your video in the library to let you know what’s happening.
