Teaching with the V1 – An Overview
If you’re like most people, you’ll soon be asking yourself how you ever taught without
the V1.
When you begin work with a student, click the Student button. If this is a new
student, click Enroll and enter the student’s information. If this is a returning student,
locate and highlight the student’s name on the alphabetical list and select him as the
Current Student by clicking Select . A list of the student’s videos is presented. You
may double-click a line on the list to open the corresponding video in order to review a
previous lesson. See the Student Database chapter for details on working with student
records.
If you double-click a student’s name in the alphabetical student list, the V1 will
automatically Select that student and close the student window for you. In addition,
the Results bin will show the student’s swings from previous lessons.
By adding a VCR and a wireless microphone, you can provide your students with a
record of their lesson for later review and reference. If you are using a VCR, insert a
new tape, and begin recording. Verify that your wireless microphone signal is being
received if there are audio signal meters on the VCR.
Use the V1’s Live button to begin live video preview. Adjust position and camera
angles to best frame the student’s motion to be analyzed. Use the Record button to
capture the student’s motion. See the Video Recording chapter for details.
Open the video that you just recorded. Click Compare . Open a model video, or one
of the student’s previous videos in order to make a comparison. See the Video Playback
chapter for details.
Use basic digital illustration tools such as lines, angles, and circles to demonstrate
differences in motion in the videos being compared. Also, highlight and discuss areas
in the student’s motion which require attention. See the Basic Digital Illustration Tools
chapter for details.
Don’t forget to take advantage of the V1’s most powerful tools, the Advanced Digital
Effects. Consult that chapter for information on using those features.
Finally, if the student has supplied his email address, and you’ve logged into the V1
Golf or Sports Academy as an instructor, you may send the video to the student’s
locker by clicking Move , or you may create an on-site digital lesson by clicking Record
then Academy .
