Video DelayThe practice library
Your practice. A replay that fits.
Set up hands-free video replay for sport, dance and movement. Choose your activity for camera placement, delay timing and a short review workflow you can use at your next session.
Practical camera-setup notes by David Balderston, Video Delay’s developer. Each guide includes an original placement diagram and printable checklist. Examples are starting points to test in your own space.
A free setup tool
How many seconds of delay?
Time the movement and your return to the screen. The planner adds a margin and checks whether your passage fits the app’s 60-second limit.
Plan a replay delay →Movement + return + margin
For an 8-second sequence and 4 seconds to look back, a 2-second margin gives a 14-second starting delay.
The planner runs in your browser. It does not use your camera or upload footage.

A setup for the way you move.
Dance & choreography
A wall mirror only helps while you are facing it.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 02Gymnastics & cheer
A gymnastics replay station works best when the athlete can finish the skill and reach a viewing position before the relevant moment appears.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 03Golf swing practice
At the range, recording every swing can turn practice into a stop-and-rewind routine.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 04Lifting & gym practice
A delayed replay gives you a chance to watch a completed lift while the attempt is still fresh.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 05Baseball & softball
In a cage or a controlled pitching drill, a delayed camera can show the last repetition while you reset.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 06Tennis serves & strokes
A tennis serve has a practical filming problem: the toss, racket and feet all need room in the picture, while the player needs time to finish and return to the screen.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 07Pickleball drills
Pickleball replay is most manageable when you film a small, repeatable drill: a serve, a few fed volleys or a short dink sequence.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 08Martial arts & movement
When a form or combination turns away from a wall mirror, a delayed camera can show what happened after you return to a viewing position.
Set up your replay →PRACTICE 09Coaches & PE stations
A useful group replay station is a simple loop: perform, leave the activity area, watch, reset.
Set up your replay →Get the station working first.
Your first replay
Frame a complete movement and choose a delay that lets you finish and look back.
Start with the basics →A bigger screen
Connect an iPhone or iPad to a compatible TV and test the replay at your venue.
TV setup guide →Delay or recording?
Choose between a rolling replay, a saved rep and a recording of the whole session.
Choose your workflow →Make the next rep easier to see.
