Grouping would be definitely interesting. It'd also be interesting in the context of creating a custom tool out of existing ones. However at the moment it's still not planned for short term.
One question will be: how do you know if the user is dragging the mouse to create a selection or just trying to move the image around.

Regarding pencil tool, merging the pieces of the drawing would be easier to implement as a short term mitigation of the problem.

Regarding temporarily hiding a drawing or a group of drawings, how would you "unhide" it ?

to answer your questions:
- You could have a space dedicated to group of drawing (just like key images) that way, the user could select the drawing there and then move them around.

- Same for hide/unhide. the user would go to the group drawing space and select a group and a hide/unhide button or right-clicking it would display a contextual menu with hide/unhide option.


If you'd be willing to chat about that, I'd be happy to help you design that feature. I'd even be willing to chip in some money to accelerate the development of this feature.

Let me know if you're interested smile

Well, just like you have a space for key images, you could have a space for drawings (or group of drawing, since a single drawing would be a group of 1 drawing).

That way, you can select your drawing group and hide/unhide it, you could somehow move the entire drawing from a group alltogether so everything stays the same relative to other drawing in the group.

That way, you could pre-setup your drawing and all and then when you're ready to show your student, you can show the initial drawing to comment on the base position (or whatever you analyze!), showing the proper aids, then hide them and move to the next step in your analysis.

Anyway, I was thinking about writing a post just for all this. I got a few questions to ask before I do so, I'm not sure I got how to utilize Kinovea correctly.

Should be writing this post later today.

Thanks

Just so rmatias knows (and everyone reading this post), the trackability is now a feature of Kinovea!

Hi guys!

I haven't found a way, if any, to manually switch to analysis mode, for whatever working zone you set.

Is there a way or you really need to adjust the settings?

Thanks

Actually, I would push the idea a little bit further. I was thinking of it this morning and then I saw this post!

What would be nice, is the ability to group drawing together and assign them a name. That way, you could apply settings to the group like you just proposed, but you would also be able to hide/unhide a given group of drawing depending of what you need.

That way, you could group some reference point/angles/cross/etc and call them "Reference" and let them visible when required, but you could hide them with one click if you need to put emphasis else where, without actually deleting the drawing, because it might be important to show them again later to compare final position to initial position.

Does that make sense?!

Cheers!

This is my first intervention here on the forum since I discovered Kinovea earlier this week. I must say I just love it so far. Still learning many things about Kinovea, so bear with me on this wink


As of right now, is Kinovea not able to "record the whole session"? By that, I mean that we can only add drawing to the video. But if while you analyze a video, you play it reverse to see the movement backward, this won't be "recorded" into the final video, right?

So if someone record himself swinging a golf club, and you set your working zone for a 15 sec zone, the way Kinovea works right now will output a 15 sec video, not a 1 min video if your analysis last 1 min, including replay and all, I'm I right?
