Dear Joan,
This program is so good, that it is very understandable that you have to work hard to improve it. Waiting for an early christmas again with 8.21!

Topic: SensorEX (0 replies, posted in Ideas and feature requests)
Dear Joan
I just found a very interesting freeware Android App, SensorEX. This App will send video, orientation and acceleration data from a smartphone to PC by bluetooth. Is this something to integrate with Kinovea?

Re: Timestamps in Capture (3 replies, posted in Ideas and feature requests)
Joan:"From the capture tab in the main preferences you can have the snapshots named automatically with a timestamp. If it needs to have more precision it would probably be simple to integrate."
Yes. This worked, but the precision should probably be down to 1/10 second, as times are recorded in full seconds in road races.

Re: Timestamps in Capture (3 replies, posted in Ideas and feature requests)
Thank you Joan for catching on to my idea 
!
Using a defined external command would make it a lot more versatile. One could build a racetiming system that updates to the web directly online through smartphones etc.?
Well. Now that I am thinking "crazy": would it be possible to make KINOVEA react on outside trigger signals?
A person carrying a RFID or bluetooth approaching would make the program act...take a snapshot...read in the signal and stamp the video/picture...
More simple: using movement detection with grading of change in the screen: X% changing pixels trigger the function?
And a third idea: using the videodelay, Kinovea would make a short recording of the 3-5 second BEFORE the snapshot. The snapshot finish and this video would be saved dually.
And a fourth, extra complicated idea: could Kinovea at some stage have a picture "reading" function to extract data from QRCards or identify numerals (1,2,3,...45....567) in the picture.
This way Kinovea could be used on-the-fly as a racetiming device.

Re: [Brainstorming] - Key image actions (4 replies, posted in Ideas and feature requests)
I am not quite sure if this idea fits in here, but I would very much like to "time stamp" and save images from a streaming video.
Example: I am streaming a finish line of a crosscountry race. When competitors cross the line, I click and save an image with a running clock timestamp. All the timestamps are recorded in a file and can be opened later with Excel/OpenOffice etc. to match with corresponding images.
In this way I have a backup and documentation of the runners.

Re: What HD camera do you use? (2 replies, posted in Cameras and hardware)
I have been using a non-branded HD-camera from Chinavasion and had no issues? Very good quality on both video and camera. Not too expensive either.

Re: Experimental version - 0.8.17 (26 replies, posted in General)
Thank you for the answer, Joan. Another question (should probably be thrown in the ideas/suggestion): Would it be possible to make a function on the delayed video that slows it down for a specified timelapse and percentage when I push a button?
Example: a bunch of kids are doing longjump and when they walk back to from the pit I can show them and comment their performance in slo-mo instantly. Of course this would not save the performance but only give a one-time slowmotion...

Re: New: Vote for your favorite ideas ! (11 replies, posted in Ideas and feature requests)
Very nice idea.
Should there be a scoring or preference-system to keep up the value of votes? Otherwise I like ALL the suggestions! If I had only a certain amount of votes to put out.... Or giving "12 points to Ireland", like in the Eurovision?

Re: Analysing Soccer/Tecnical question. (5 replies, posted in Bug reports)
I am an athletics coach in technical events and have had great help from Kinovea. I would say it´s one of the easiest and most intuitive analysis programs I´ve used. Dabbling around for a day or two - and you can fly 
!
A good thing to learn in advance/along with the program is some basics on filming footage for analysis. That makes it easier to apply the features provided.
