Interface
Command buttons for V1 Professional are large for ease-of-reading and for the easy use of
"tablet and pen" input devices. Buttons are also high contrast for ease-of-recognition and easy
outdoor use. The large "video window" is surrounded by the V1's buttons. It's here that videos
are displayed and live video is previewed. This window is not simply used for viewing, however.
Once you have selected one of the V1's drawing tools, you may then use that tool to draw directly
onto the video.
Opening Videos
The V1 stores video files as "tabs" in one of five "bins". Bins act as storage categories and help you
to organize your videos. The bins have the default names of Current, Stored, Models, Lessons, and Titles.
Two additional bins appear "Results and Live" which do not store videos, but have special uses as
described later. You will notice that tabs are color-coded to match parent bin colors. When you click
a bin button, tabs belonging to that bin will be displayed below the bin names. Only 10 tabs are displayed
at a time. If the Current bin has more than 10 tabs, arrow buttons will appear on either side of the list of tabs
to allow you to scroll left and right. If your system has a large number of tabs, you may hold down an arrow
button to continue scrolling with acceleration. Oh, and in case you were wondering, each bin can hold up to
9,999 tabs.
Digital VCR Tools
Video controls that appear similar to those found on a VCR appear at the bottom of the V1's window.
When a video is opened, these controls become available. When the video is not moving, the video is
said to be "paused". To move the video by a single frame either forward or backward, click the appropriate
Step button found on either side of the Pause button. Each of these buttons may be held down to advance
frame-by-frame until you release the button. To begin slow motion, either forward or backward, click the
appropriate Slow button found next to the Step buttons. To stop slow motion, click the Pause button.
To play the video at full speed, click the Play button. There are specific situations in which the Play button
is unavailable. These include Compare Mode when both videos are selected, and when the video is "flipped".
Each of these features is discussed in subsequent sections. To stop slow motion or full speed playback,
click the Pause button. Playback will "wrap around" and continue indefinitely if the Replay button is highlighted.
Click the Replay button to alternately enable and disable this feature.
Comparison
The V1's video window may be split to allow you to open and control two videos simultaneously. The Compare
button will activate Compare Mode. Click the Compare button again to exit Compare Mode and return to use
of the entire video window for a single video. In Compare Mode, the video position slider will split into two, and
there will be three new buttons placed between the sliders.
Drawing Tools
The Drawing Tools button group contains the tools which allow you to graphically analyze video. Here you'll find
the essentials such as freehand, lines, angles, circles, boxes, and text. You'll also find the Clear and Undo
buttons here. The Snapshot button allows you to save your graphics with the video.
Digital Effects
Buttons found in the Digital Effects group activate many of the V1's signature features. Here you'll find tools for
illustrating a wedge or plane, illustrating curves and arcs, and showing the tempo. The Flip, Slide, Enhance,
and Zoom tools allow you to digitally manipulate the video image. The Overlay feature is an advanced comparison tool.
This is also where you'll find the Print command button.
Trim
The Trim function allows you to shorten a video to conserve hard drive space, or to make a full or partial copy of
a video into a new tab on your system's hard drive. Open a video, and then click the Trim button to show this window:
The Trim Tab window shows the original and the new file duration (in seconds). You will notice that on the video
position slider there are vertical blue and red lines. These represent the new beginning and the new ending video
positions respectively.
Video Information Database
The V1 is capable of storing a great deal of descriptive information with each video. Information ranges from
the date and student's name to the camera angles and the type of club used. This information can be displayed,
edited, and in some cases also used to search for videos on your system or those networked with you.
Student Information
The V1 helps you to do business by maintaining a database of your students, their contact information and
other lesson related data. From a student's record, you can instantly jump to any of the student's videos that
are stored on your system. Each time you begin work with a new student, you should Enroll the student
if necessary, and then select him as the Current Student.
Internet Academies
The Internet Golf Academy (and the Internet Sports Academy) connect golf professionals like you with their
students anywhere in the world. Students use their personal computers, cameras, and the V1 Golf or
V1 Home 2.0 software to capture their motion. You receive an email notification when a student uploads his
video and is requesting an analysis. You download the video and analyze it using all of the V1's tools.
Your video lesson including voice is then returned to the student.
