Looks amazing. Very comprehensive. I’m not sure how many of those features I’d actually use, however.
I’d definitely use the side by side video comparison. Voice for sure.
The videos are date stamped on the timeline automatically. Nice.
Often a gymnast asks for a copy of a certain video clip in training. It couldn’t be easier to email them a copy.
