Horseback Riding (Jumping)

This page demonstrates how Video Surgeon can be used to analyze a horseback rider's jump in a competitive contest. The videos below are a great example of just a few of the things Video Surgeon can do. The example clip below was taken from a YouTube video we downloaded using Video Surgeon. Four different version of this clip are supplied below. Below the videos are a series of pictures or images from the video.

Video 1: This is the original clip from the YT video at normal speed and with no zoom.

Video 2: This second video is the same as above except that it is at 25% of the original speed. It is easy to see how this slow motion helps you better see and analyze both the horse and rider in this jump.

Video 3: This third video is the same as above except we have applied a 2-fold zoom. So, both slow motion and zooming are applied to make it easier to examines the technique of both horse and rider in this equestrian jumping event.

Video 4: This fourth video is slowed even further, to 6.25%. No zoom is applied. Again the value of slow motion for analysis of and identification of the technique used in this jump.

Pictures from video: Video Surgeon allows you to print to paper or to file, one or a series of images. In the example below there are six images that show the sequence from start to finish, of this jump. Click on the thumbnail to see the full sized image.
