01 / INSPIRATION

What if the best part of a game didn’t disappear when it ended?

The project centres on a familiar sports moment: a rally ends and everyone wants to see it again. Capture should stay out of the way of playing, while reviewing and sharing should feel immediate.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

How it works

Recorded or imported footage moves into a replay workspace. Players can review the match, mark moments, trim selections, add titles and scores, and export a highlight. Capture and analysis capabilities depend on the edition and setup.

A closer look

Stay with the game

Capture is the beginning of a longer workflow: finding the moment again matters as much as recording it.

Work on a timeline

Imported or recorded footage can be reviewed, marked, and trimmed into selections.

Finish the highlight

Titles and scores help give the selected moment context before export. The project site describes the current editions and capture options.
