# How can a club, coach or video team use computer vision to analyse footage and find key moments faster?

Pick one question the footage should answer, such as where players were at each phase, how an athlete moved, or which clips show a given event. Use footage from consistent camera angles, and label a sample of real sessions so you can check the results. Computer vision then tracks positions or movement and tags moments for review, while coaches and analysts decide what the data means. Get consent for filming and agree who can see the footage and data.

## What this means in practice

- Pick one question the footage should answer.
- Use consistent camera angles and label a sample of real sessions.
- Track positions or movement and tag moments for review.
- Leave interpretation and coaching decisions to people.
- Get consent for filming and agree who can see the data.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Movement and activity analysis from video](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/video-movement-analysis/): Count repetitions, score form or track activity from ordinary video, with results a coach or supervisor can check.
