Process
In-The-Action follows a linear process
- Start recording a training session
- Choose between the live and live delay video mode.
- As soon as an action happens, record the event
- The event is then automatically played in loop
- Decide to save the event by pressing on one of the 4 buttons with the save disk icon. The event is then saved as a single video clip on your drive
- Or ignore the event and go back to the live
- At the end of the session, a montage is automatically created and includes all the saved events
