Review Games Page
- Added a dropdown box to allow users to download either the Current Season, Current and Previous Season or All Seasons from the Remote Folder
- Changed the Team and Competition dropdown boxes into search fields
- Added a Delete button, this can be used to remove matches from your Local Folder
Autoplay Mode
This update enhances the autoplay video feature by adding a timeline to the autoplay video window, allowing smoother navigation. When reaching the end of a playlist, the autoplay window now pauses the video instead of closing. Users can close the autoplay window using the "X" button or Escape key which will also pause playback.
Users can now "star" a Collection which behaves similarly to starring a Presentation. Once a Collection or Presentation has been starred and the user is in autoplay mode then hotkeys can be used to add directly to that Collection or Presentation. The hotkeys are CMD/CTRL + O/P for Mac/Windows and Collections/Presentations.
Presentations Improvements
Row View
Organise your clips with our brand new UI. The Row View enables users to arrange, view, and edit clips in rows instead of folders. Key enhancements include:
- Easily see the duration of each clip and row
- View many more clips on one screen without needing to scroll
- Quickly rename your clips to match the row or section of the Presentation
- Switch between Presentation views using the View Toggle
- Row View can also be displayed with the data on the left. This view is useful for Presentations with lots of Rows
Ability to pause playback when annotations appear
Toggle this new setting ON to pause the playback when an annotation appears on the video. The video will remain paused until PLAY is pressed.
Shared Presentations
Share, view and edit Presentations across MatchTracker, Focus and Hub. When Presentations are shared to the Hub, they can be viewed and edited in any of the Catapult Pro Video Suite apps. Key benefits include:
- Having multiple users collaborate on the same Presentation
- Sharing/viewing Presentation edits in real time, anywhere
Add to Presentation Workflow Improvements
Selecting 'Add to Presentation' will add the clips in the order they are displayed in the table or chart, selecting 'Add to Presentation Chronologically' will add the clips in chronological order.
New way of adding annotations into the video
- Select the tool and click to place it in the video
- Place down multiple annotations whilst the tool is selected
- Scroll to resize
- Press hotkey T to start manual tracking
- Press hotkey ESC to deselect the tool (or press the tool again)
- Arrows now require you to click and drag on the video
Annotation Presets
Streamline the styling of your annotations by setting up presets. All annotation properties can now be saved as a preset and recalled later.
