Video results allow event organisers or timers to display a finish line (or split point) video alongside participant results. When configured correctly, each participant can view their moment crossing the timing mat.
Before getting started ensure the following are ready:
-
- Results are published
- A video URL (for example, YouTube)
- Gun time of the first finisher
- Timestamp in the video when the first finisher appears

6. Click Add race and assign the video to the relevant Race
7. Enter:

Tips
- Use a continuous video recording. Avoid stitched clips as they can cause syncing issues
- Cameras that split footage into multiple files are not recommended
- Use the 'finish time local' column type to improve alignment between results and video footage
