Video Length
Also known as: clip length, recording duration
Video length is how many seconds of footage you submit — long enough to include the full swing motion but short enough not to slow down analysis or introduce irrelevant frames.
SwingVantage works best with focused clips of a single swing or a short sequence rather than long recordings that require finding the relevant moment. The ideal length covers setup, the full motion, and a clear finish position. Clips that are too short may miss the backswing or follow-through; clips that are too long increase processing time without improving accuracy. The in-app recording feature crops to a sensible window automatically.
Example
A 10-second golf swing clip starting at address and ending with the follow-through is ideal; a 3-minute range session video is too long and forces manual trimming.

- Video Quality ScoreA Video Quality Score is a pre-analysis rating (0–100) that tells you how usable a submitted clip is before pose estimation begins — catching bad angles, motion blur, or poor lighting early.
- Phone Video LimitationsPhone video limitations are the practical constraints of recording on a smartphone — lens distortion, stabilization artifacts, variable frame rate, and compressed color depth — that can reduce analysis accuracy relative to purpose-built cameras.
- Pose EstimationPose estimation is the computer-vision process that detects the positions of major body joints (keypoints) in each video frame, producing the skeleton that SwingVantage uses to measure angles and movement patterns.
