How to Export TrackMan Data with Swing Video

To keep swing video with your TrackMan numbers, export a stroke file (.tms) from TrackMan Performance Studio, or ask the studio for a shared report with videos. The stroke file is the better file because the video is embedded with the numbers. A CSV is a spreadsheet of those numbers. MotionEdge does not import CSV, because the video never comes with it.

Looking for a download button in the phone app? Start with exporting from TrackMan Golf or Golf Pro. Those apps have different workflows from Performance Studio.

Choose the export you need.

  • Stroke file (.tms): transfer a file containing the selected shot data and available recorded videos. Follow the steps below.
  • Shared report link: receive an emailed report and import a supported dynamic URL. See create and import a report.
  • Live connection: pair your own camera recording with incoming shot data while you hit. See connect TrackMan live.

MotionEdge Pro is required for TrackMan import and live connection. Export availability in TrackMan depends on the software and session you used.

How do I export a TrackMan stroke file?

At the Windows computer running TrackMan Performance Studio (TPS):

  1. Open the session you want in Shot Analysis. For a saved session, find it in Shot Library and load it using Upload.
  2. Open the view selector and choose Table View. Older TPS versions may place this under Analytics.
  3. Select the strokes you want to keep and open the export control.
  4. Choose Stroke File (.tms) where that option is available in your version, then save the file. Do not choose CSV if you want a MotionEdge stroke-file import.
  5. Copy the file to a USB drive or cloud storage the facility permits you to use.

TrackMan's current public TPS export guide illustrates the table/export area for CSV. File choices and labels differ across TPS versions. If your installation offers only CSV, ask the operator for a stroke-file export or use a shared report; renaming a CSV to .tms will not convert it.

Before leaving, confirm that the selected shots include the camera recordings you want. An export cannot supply videos that were never recorded.

How do I get the file onto my device?

Stroke files with video can be hundreds of megabytes. USB or cloud storage usually works better than an email attachment.

  • Mac: copy the file into a folder you can find in Finder, such as Downloads.
  • iPhone or iPad: save the file in Files, using iCloud Drive, supported external storage, or a cloud provider you have enabled there.
  • AirDrop: transfer from your Mac to your iPhone or iPad after you have copied the file off the Windows TPS computer.

Wait for a cloud file to finish downloading before importing. Keep the original until you have checked the imported session.

How do I import the file into MotionEdge?

  1. On iPhone or iPad, open Home → Import → TrackMan (.tms). Choose the file in Files. The same command is in the More menu on Sessions and on All Swings. On Mac, use Home → Import → TrackMan (.tms).
  2. Select your .tms file in the file picker.
  3. Check the preview: player, facility, date, destination, strokes, and available videos.
  4. Leave the desired swings selected. Use Change if you want a different destination.
  5. Choose Import and wait for the selected swings to finish.
  6. Open an imported swing and choose TrackMan Data from a review panel's content menu.

This file was imported on Mac on October 5, 2026. It contains seven strokes from a September 2021 studio session; the preview labels them as 7-irons.

What can I review after import?

Use the available videos for scrubbing, slow motion, and frame-by-frame review. Put TrackMan Data beside the video to read the imported ball and club numbers. The values present depend on the original session; not every shot includes every parameter or camera angle.

The tiles describe impact even when the video is paused at another point. See TrackMan numbers explained for a reading of this capture.

MotionEdge can analyze a usable full-body video and include imported TrackMan data in AI Coach review. An impact-camera close-up is useful for inspecting contact, but does not provide the full-body view needed for pose analysis.

A .tms import does not provide MotionEdge's Shot Trajectory panel. Your numbers remain in TrackMan Data. A supported report or live shot may include a flight path; see when Shot Trajectory appears.

What if the file will not import?

  • Check the format: MotionEdge's TrackMan file importer expects .tms, not CSV, PDF, or a renamed file.
  • Check the transfer: compare the copied file with the original and make sure it downloaded completely.
  • Check the source: if the preview has no usable shots or videos, ask the studio to export the selected session again.
  • Check access: TrackMan importing requires MotionEdge Pro.

Can I share the imported session?

Yes. Export the session as a MotionEdge .mef file to transfer its saved swing content. Include a note about the club, target, and practice question when sending it to your coach.

Plan the next session.
