Video Review — Reading Your Swing
Video Review is where you actually analyze your swing — frame by frame, with pose overlays, metrics, the filmstrip, TrackMan numbers, AI coaching, drawings, comparisons, all of it. It's the screen you'll spend more time on than any other in the app.
The defining choice in Video Review is that you don't have to look at all that data in one fixed layout. Instead, the screen is broken into panels, and you swap each panel between what it shows depending on what you're doing.
The panel system
Every Video Review session is one or more panels arranged on screen. Each panel can show any of the available providers — Video, Filmstrip, Swing Metrics, Tempo, TrackMan, Posture Check, Swing Info, AI Analysis, Training Profile.
On iPhone (compact), you typically have one big panel filling the screen and you swap providers in and out as you work — watch the video, swap to Filmstrip to pick a position, swap to Metrics to read a number, swap to AI Analysis to ask a question, back to Video.
On iPad and Mac, the bigger screen supports multi-panel layouts — Video on the left, Filmstrip on the right, with both visible at the same time. You can split further, swap any panel's provider, and resize as needed.
To swap a panel's provider: tap the panel header (the small label at the top of each panel). A picker shows the available providers; pick one and the panel rebuilds with that content.
The toolbar at the top
The top of Video Review has a small toolbar with the swing's identity and a few key actions:
- Swing name + position-in-session indicator — shows which swing you're on (e.g., "Swing 7 of 12") and lets you nav forward/back without leaving Video Review
- Mode picker / camera angle — for swings recorded with multiple camera angles, switch which angle this view shows
- Drawing tools — annotate the frame with lines, circles, freehand. Drawings stick to the swing and sync across devices.
- Overflow menu — share, export to MEF, send to AI Coach Deep Analyze, more
?help button — opens this article in your browser
On Mac, the toolbar lives in the window's title bar. On iPhone and iPad, it's the top edge of the screen.
What each panel provider does (and where to learn more)
| Provider | What it shows | Help article |
|---|---|---|
| Video | The actual swing video with playback controls, pose overlay, scrubber. | Video & Stabilization |
| Filmstrip | 10 key positions from the swing (address, top, impact, etc.) as a strip. Tap any position to scrub the video. | Filmstrip |
| Swing Metrics | Numerical scorecard — Peak Hand Speed, Release Quality, etc. | Peak Hand Speed, Release Metrics |
| Tempo | Backswing-to-downswing ratio with grading. | Tempo Ratio |
| TrackMan | Radar data — ball speed, launch, spin, path, face. | Live TrackMan, TrackMan Import |
| Posture Check | Spine tilt, shoulder rotation, hand path grade, and other body-position metrics. | (general analysis) |
| Swing Info | The swing's metadata — date, club, conditions, tags, where it was recorded. | (general info) |
| AI Analysis | AI coach commentary on this swing, plus follow-up conversation. | AI Coach |
| Training Profile | The training profile that was active when this swing was recorded. | Training Profiles & Stats |
Each panel also has its own ? button — tap that for guidance specific to whatever provider is loaded in that panel.
Common workflows
Quick critique on one swing. Open the swing. Default layout shows Video. Tap the panel header → switch to AI Analysis → tap Deep Analyze → wait a few seconds → read the result. Then swap back to Video to scrub to whatever the AI flagged.
Side-by-side comparison. From the swing list, multi-select two swings and tap Compare. Both swings render synchronously — you can scrub in lockstep or independently.
Position-by-position breakdown. Open the swing. Switch a panel to Filmstrip. Tap each of the 10 positions to study them in sequence; the video panel scrubs to match.
Drawing for a student. Open the swing on a Mac or iPad. Tap the pencil icon. Draw lines or circles on the frame. The drawing persists on the swing and syncs to whoever the session is shared with.
Tempo-focused review. Switch one panel to Tempo. The number and grade are right there — no scrubbing needed. Useful for grinding on a tempo profile across a range bucket.
Platform differences
- iPhone: single panel at a time, swap as you work. Most efficient for one-swing-at-a-time review at the range.
- iPad: typically two panels side-by-side; multi-touch zoom and scrub.
- Mac: any number of panels at any size; multiple Swing Review windows can be open at once for genuine side-by-side comparison without the formal compare tool. See Multiple Windows on Mac.
Drawings, AI analyses, training-profile context, and all metric values are identical across platforms — only the layout and input modality change.
What's next from here
If you're new to Video Review and looking for the next thing to try:
- Capture or import a swing, open it, and click the
?on any panel that confuses you — every provider has its own help. - Try the AI Coach with a real question on a real swing. The combination of all the data is where this app earns its keep.
- Set up a Training Profile so the grading thresholds match what you're actively working on.
This is the screen. The specific panels are deep — each has its own help article you can reach by tapping ? on that panel.
