Two tools for the same job: looking at a single moment longer than the camera kept it on screen.
Slow motion
The speed menu offers 1x, 0.5x, 0.25x, and 0.125x. At 0.125x — eight times slower than real time — a typical 6-stride approach to a fence stretches over twelve seconds. Plenty of time to see what the rider's hand is doing.
Audio is muted at slower-than-real speeds (sounds awful otherwise). Tap the audio toggle if you want the slowed-down audio anyway.
Frame step
For pinpoint review, pause and step one frame at a time using the frame-step controls. Most phone cameras shoot 30 fps, so each step is ~33 ms. At 60 fps it's ~17 ms.
When to use which
- Slow motion for getting a feel for a phrase (canter rhythm, takeoff posture, landing balance).
- Frame step for pinpoint moments (exact instant of takeoff, frame the front legs leave the ground, rider's hand at apex).
Compare across rounds
For "what changed between the bad round and the good one?", side-by-side beats slow-motion. See Compare two videos.
On the web: keyboard shortcuts
With a keyboard, the player has shortcuts for everything above: M to toggle audio, , for the previous frame, . for the next. Pair them with the speed menu for fast review.
