Video DelayStart with what you need to keep.
| Your goal | A useful starting workflow |
|---|---|
| Watch each attempt without tapping Record | Use the rolling delayed camera view. Set enough time to finish and look back. Recent footage is temporary until you choose to save. |
| Keep one short attempt for slower review | Save a 5, 10, 15 or 30 second rep after the finish plays on the delayed screen. Review the clip with slow motion, frame stepping or manual drawing. |
| Keep a complete class, match or long set | Use a normal camera recording. A long replay delay is not the same thing as a long exported movie. |
| Judge choreography against music | Use a recording with audio and check the finished file. Do not assume that a delayed visual practice mirror provides a synchronized delayed music track. |
| Compare imported clips or manage a large coaching library | Choose a dedicated saved-video analysis workflow. A live replay station does not automatically supply a cloud archive, team portal or synchronized imported-video comparison. |
A delay is time to reach the picture.
Imagine an 8-second passage followed by 4 seconds to get to the screen. Add a 2-second margin and try a 14-second delay. The first moment should appear after you arrive. A long passage may need a shorter section or a normal recording if the total exceeds the app’s 60-second maximum.
Use the free replay delay planner to work through your own timing.
A saved rep is a deliberate copy.
The app’s Save rep action keeps footage ending at the frame currently displayed. Let the part you want to keep finish on the delayed screen before saving. Pick a clip length that covers the passage; the available lengths are 5, 10, 15 and 30 seconds.
Recent unsaved video is temporary. Saved library clips, optional Photos copies, exported files and device backups have separate lifetimes. If you need a permanent copy, check the saved file before you finish the session. Read the saving guide.
Choose a question before choosing more features.
A solo dancer checking a short turn sequence may only need a delayed mirror. A coach comparing two different filming sessions needs saved footage and a consistent camera view. A family keeping a complete performance needs a normal recording. The right workflow follows the job.
For saved golf video analysis, SwingDraw is a separate app by the same developer. Video Delay is the immediate camera replay option. Neither name should be treated as a promise of automatic scoring, calibrated body measurements or coaching advice.
Make the next rep easier to see.
Video Delay runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Choose a 1–60 second delay, then save selected 5, 10, 15 or 30 second reps for slow motion, frame stepping and manual drawings. No automatic form score.
