Submitting Videos & Viewing Feedback

Video submissions are the core of FormLab. This guide covers uploading videos, tracking their status, and watching your coach's recorded video feedback.

Uploading a Video

To submit a video for review:

1. Go to your Subscriptions page
2. Find the subscription you want to use and click Upload Video
3. If you have multiple subscriptions, select which coach/subscription to submit to
4. Add a descriptive title for your video (e.g., "Backhand driving form - Feb 2024")
5. Optionally add notes for your coach about what you want feedback on
6. Select your video file from your device
7. Click submit

Your video will immediately appear in your subscription's video list with a "Submitted" status. Your coach will be notified and will review it in the order it was received.

Multi-Angle Submissions

For comprehensive form analysis, you can upload multiple angles of the same throw:

• Add multiple angle files to a single submission (e.g., a side angle and a front angle together)
• Use consistent naming so your coach knows they're related
• Mention in the notes that you've submitted multiple angles
• Your coach can tab between angles during review to see your form from different perspectives

Video Status

Each video moves through three statuses:

Watching Your Coach's Feedback

When your video status changes to Completed, your coach has recorded video feedback for you:

• Click on the completed video to open the feedback view
• You'll see your original video alongside your coach's recorded analysis
• Your coach narrates what they see, stepping through your form to highlight key points
• Watch the feedback as many times as you like to absorb the coaching

Tips for Great Submissions

Get the most value from your video reviews by following these filming guidelines:

• Good lighting: Film outdoors during the day or in a well-lit indoor facility. Avoid backlighting that makes you a silhouette
• Stable camera: Use a tripod or prop your phone/camera on something stable. Shaky footage makes it hard to analyze form
• Full motion: Capture your entire throwing motion from x-step to follow-through. Don't start recording too late or stop too early
• Appropriate distance: Position the camera so your entire body is visible throughout the throw, with a little extra space on all sides
• Multiple angles: If possible, film both a side angle (perpendicular to your line) and a face-on or rear angle
• Include context: In the notes, mention what you're working on or what issues you're experiencing ("My drive is fading too much" or "I feel off-balance in my follow-through")
• Representative throws: Submit videos that represent your typical form, not just your best or worst throws
