4. 4Keep the page open until the upload finishes.
5. 5Return when PongLens tells you the match is ready.

Record a clear video

Open How to record before your first match. Put the camera to the side of your half or diagonally behind your corner, around head height, with the full table and both players in view. Record sideways when you can.

Choose the side you do not serve from so neither player blocks the camera as the point begins.

Put the phone on a tripod or something that does not move, and keep other tables out of the frame where you can.

Break it into points

Breaking a match into points removes the time between rallies and gives each rally its own clip, which is what scoring, tags, and point-by-point review use.

• Automatically: PongLens finds the rallies and cuts them for you. It is not available for practice or drills yet.
• Mark the points yourself: you mark where each point starts and ends, and who won if you like. The marker opens when the upload finishes.
• Later: the video waits on the match page until you choose one of the other two.

After the upload

The match appears on Home and in Matches while PongLens processes it. You can use the rest of PongLens after the upload completes, and PongLens lets you know when the match is ready.

If you chose Mark the points yourself, the marker opens as soon as the video is ready to play.
