📹Best Practices for Recording Videos

General Recommendations

• High Resolution & Frame Rate: Record videos in at least 1080p resolution. For dynamic movements, aim for a frame rate of 30–60 fps to capture smooth motion and finer details.

• Stable Setup: Use a tripod or stable mounting to avoid camera shake. Consistent framing ensures that key movements remain in view throughout the recording.

• Consistent Lighting: Record in well-lit conditions with minimal shadows. Natural daylight or uniform artificial lighting helps maintain clarity, reducing noise and motion blur.

• Appropriate Video Format: Use standard formats (e.g., MP4) that are compatible with our API. Ensure your files aren’t overly compressed to preserve detail.

• Clear Background: Choose a simple, uncluttered background to minimize distractions. This allows the processing algorithms to focus on the subject’s movement.

• Proper Clothing & Footwear: Wear form-fitting athletic wear and proper shoes to clearly delineate body movements. Avoid loose clothing that can obscure joint angles and posture.
