The video results tool allows timers or event organizers to post a video of their event finish line or any point on the course that has a timing mat (ie. key splits). This video along with uploaded gun times, allows for viewing of the participant as the approach and cross the timing mat/finish line.
To use this tool, please ensure you have the following ready:
- Your results are posted
- You have the URL to your video (i.e. Youtube URL)
- The gun time for the first individual
- The time stamp for the first individual who crosses the finish line in the video

Tips and Things to Note
- Avoiding "stitching" your video where you start and stop the video numerous times. This will make it difficult to generate seamless video content to easily display for runners.
- We recommend using either a digital camera or a phone camera to shoot continuous video. Go Pro cameras usually consist of "stitched" videos, and are not recommended.
- Use the setting "finish time local" to match with the video footage should allow for most accurate video results.
