Record Field Videos

NOTE: Field videos work best when you have a strong internet connection.

Enable Field Video Recording

  1. Download or update the AthleticFIELD app. Must be on version 1.3.5 or higher.
  2. Open AthleticFIELD.
  3. Click "Settings".
  4. Scroll to the bottom. Click "Record Field Videos".
  5. Click the back arrow at the top left of the page.

Record Videos for Horizontal Events

  1. Load an event.
  2. After you check your athletes in, click the Officiate tab and click on an entry.
  3. At the bottom of the page, you will see a "Record" button. Click it and record your video. Enter your mark and click Save. The video will be uploaded to AthleticLIVE in the background.
  4. Videos will be seen on final results after you upload from your meet management system.

Record Videos for Vertical Events

  1. Load an event.
  2. After you check your athletes in, click the Officiate tab and click on an entry.
  3. At the bottom of the page, you will see a "Record #1" button. When you click on an entry, the Record button will default to the current jump, whether it's 1, 2, or 3 at this height. If you change heights, it will default to the current jump.
    1. For example: Eric made his first attempt at 5-00 and missed his first attempt at 5-02. When you go back into Eric's entry, the record button will say "Record #2" because he is on his second jump.
  4. Click "Save". The video will be uploaded to AthleticLIVE in the background.
  5. Videos will be seen on final results after you upload from your meet management system.

Removing Videos

  1. From the Officiate tab, click on an entry.
  2. If a video has been uploaded, click "Remove". Confirm removal.
  3. The video will be removed from AthleticLIVE.

Debugging and Fixing Uploads

NEW in version 1.3.7

Due to a bad internet connection or some other reason, all of your videos may not get uploaded during the event.

Once you get a better internet connection, follow these steps to get to the Videos page where you can upload remaining videos.

  1. From the Home screen, click on any flight.
  2. Click on the three-bar menu icon in the top left.
  3. Click on "Videos".

This will show you a list of all videos and current statuses. If you had a bad internet connection, many of these videos may be highlighted in Red and say "Errored" or "Stopped". If most say "Errored", read "How to re-upload all videos". If most say Stopped, read "Restart the Uploader" below.

How to re-upload all videos
  1. In the top right corner, click the three-dot button.
  2. Click "Upload All Videos".
  3. This should queue all non-uploaded videos in this event and begin uploading them one at a time. All non-uploaded videos should now say "In Progress", and video upload statuses should appear on the top of the page. As they are uploaded, videos will turn green and say "Success".
  4. If this doesn't start uploading videos, check out the next option: "Restarting the uploader"
Restart the Uploader

Sometimes, especially with a bad internet connection, the uploader can get stuck and stop uploading videos.

  1. In the top right corner, click the three-dot button.
  2. Click "Restart Uploader".
  3. All non-uploaded videos should now say "Not Started"
  4. In the top right corner, click the three-dot button.
  5. Click "Upload All Videos".
  6. Videos should start uploading.

If neither of these steps works, contact ben@athletic.net
