Using iPhone Video on SwingLoft for Mac

The SwingLoft — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:20:54 +0000

With the recent release of the iPhone 4 video is now so easy to capture from this fun little device. It captures video in HD quality and the frame rate is actually pretty good. This makes life very easy for the Mac user who wants to take a quick video of their student (whether a golfer, baseball player, tennis phenom, etc..) then analyze the video on their Mac with SwingLoft.

SwingLoft’s easy to use video analysis capability works perfect with video recorded on your iPhone 4. Here’s how to get video directly from your iPhone to your Mac:

Capture the video when in the ‘Camera’ app on your iPhone. For best results, make sure your student is completely in the frame and you can rest the iPhone on something sturdy.
Hit the button on the bottom left of the screen that looks like this:
Select EMAIL PHOTO and email the video to an email address that you can check from your Mac
Save the video to your Mac. For better file handling, save your videos in appropriately named folders. This will save time in the future.
Now simply open SwingLoft and hit File>Open Movie
Find the file you just saved and now you can start analyzing the video! To see the video in proper aspect ratio, make sure to hit Edit>Best View Movie

While testing the video that we captured from the iPhone, we found that the frame rate of the video is actually quite nice. It worked better with slower swing speeds, but that is to be expected. Surprisingly enough though, there wasn’t much blurring going on! This is what really caught our attention. Most video cameras without CCD capability or a slow frame-rate blur the fast motion of a golf swing. The video captured with the iPhone 4 didn’t really do that! So we were very pleased with the ability to combine a simple smartphone video and SwingLoft Video Analysis Software.

Please send us any comments or tips you have on capturing video with your iPhone so that we can share it with the Mac Video Analysis community!

TV Advertisements on Tour Bags!

The SwingLoft — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:38:46 +0000

At the Children’s Miracle Network Classic, 2009 Senior Tour Championship Winner Michael Allen has the latest advertising technology installed on his tour bag! He has a TV screen on the front of his tour bag! The images rotate with different advertisements! Can you believe this? I guess it was only a matter of time before technology met advertising. Can anyone guess how much money he is getting paid for this new found ad space? I would love to know!

We took this picture while at the practice round on Tuesday. We were down there getting some tour swings on tape. Check out the blog in about a week to download some free golf swings from the Disney tournament! We’ll have great swings for everyone to use with their SwingLoft Software!!
