How to film a match
A good video is the difference between a great analysis and none. Five minutes of set-up is enough.
Where to stand
At the SIDE of the court, level with the net, outside the fence or sideline. The phone should look straight across the court, not along it. Behind-the-baseline videos do not work yet.
Framing
Turn the phone sideways. Both baselines, both sidelines and the net must be in the picture the whole time, with a little floor to spare. Do not zoom and do not follow the ball.
Hold it still
Use a tripod, a fence clip or lean it on something. Walking or panning breaks the court map.
Quality
1080p or 4K at 60 frames per second (camera settings). Normal colour or HDR are both fine. Keep the lens clean.
Sound matters
The program listens for the paddle pops. Do not cover the microphone and avoid standing next to a loud fan or music.
Record the whole game
From the first serve to the last point, including the time between points. Doubles only: four players. Make sure the phone has space and a charger.
Light
Daylight or good court lights. Avoid filming straight into the sun.
Upload
On Wi-Fi if you can. The video goes up in small pieces: if the connection drops, open the match page and choose the same video again.
