Snow Skiing

This page illustrates how Video Surgeon can be used to slow a video of a skier down, as well as zoom in to examine the form. 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 the slow motion helps you better see and analyze the form of the skier in the video.

Video 3: This third video is the same as above except we have applied a 2-fold zoom. Both slow motion and zooming are applied to make it easier to closely examine form of the skier as he goes thru progression of his jump.

Video 4: This fourth video is slowed even further, to 6.25%. No zoom is applied. Again the value of slow motion for analyzing the motion of the skier as he spins thru the air is apparent.

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 five images which show the progression of the skier from the time he goes ariborn to the time he lands. Click on the thumbnail to see the full sized image.
