Uploading and filming sessions

How do I upload a session?

Open Upload from the top navigation, choose the activity and the specific exercise/drill, then add your video — either pick a file or record one on the spot. You can attach the session to a client and give it a name. Once you submit, the video is analysed and the result lands in Sessions, where you can open the player and the report.

What video formats and length can I upload?

MP4, MOV, and WebM files up to about 500 MB. Shorter, focused clips of the movement work best — film just the reps you want analysed rather than a long recording with lots of idle time.

Can I record a video directly instead of uploading a file?

Yes. On the Upload screen you can record straight from your device — a laptop webcam or a phone camera both work. There’s a countdown and you can trim the clip before sending it for analysis.

Can I upload several videos or a whole team at once?

Yes. Drop multiple files to bulk-upload (one row per clip, each with its own progress). For a squad, Team Capture lets you record one drill across your whole roster in a single flow, without re-running the upload steps for each athlete.

Do I have to name the session or attach a client?

Both are optional. Giving the session a name just makes it easier to find later in your journal. Attaching a client links the session to that athlete’s history and progress over time, and lets the analysis use their profile (height, weight and so on) for more precise, body-aware metrics — so it’s worth doing when you can, but you can always add or change it later.

Which camera angle should I film from?

AiKYNETIX analyses from the side, front, or back, and the Upload screen tells you which view to use for what you selected. As a rule of thumb:

• Side view — best for movement in the line of travel: jump height and take-off/landing timing, power, running cadence and stride, and joint angles such as knee and hip flexion. Use it for jumps, weightlifting, running, and most exercises.
• Front or back view — best for side-to-side mechanics: knee cave (valgus), hip drop, and left–right asymmetry. Use it when landing mechanics or symmetry are the point (for example squats or landings filmed head-on).

Pick the angle the app recommends — analysing the wrong view gives weaker or missing metrics.

How should I film for the best results?

• Keep the whole body in frame for the entire movement.
• Keep the camera steady and level (a tripod or a propped phone beats hand-held).
• Film in good, even lighting with the athlete clearly separated from the background.
• Have only one person in the shot — the athlete being analysed.
• Use the camera view the app asks for, and capture the full rep(s).
