Using data tables

The Data Table drawing tool enables you to collect time-dependent data related to the action in your video. For example, at different time instances you can manually enter the distance an athlete has run so far, just as you would in an Excel spreadsheet. Then, the data table tool can compute (and display) automatically the average overall speed or the interval speed of the athlete. It is also possible to link another drawing tool such as an angle or a measuring tool to a column of a data table, to display and store the evolution of the corresponding quantity (angle/length) over time. In the following image you can see a data table containing heights inferred by a measurement drawing.

An advanced feature is the option to track an object in the video automatically and to display the corresponding positional data in a data table. Finally, you can export the collected data in Excel format for further processing and analysis.
