The clip
- 1Tripod 2–3 m high, centred behind the baseline.Height keeps the feet visible between the legs.
- 2Normal video, 60 fps if your phone offers it, in good light.Settings → Camera → Record Video. Not slow motion: the clip must play at normal speed.
- 3Keep the baseline and both service-line corners in frame.They are the four calibration points.
- 4Short clips, under 30 seconds.One drill or one rally per clip.

Keep this tab open and in front. The clip plays slowly while it is read; the speed adjusts itself so no frame is skipped, and any frame missed is filled in at the end. The clip's frame rate is detected automatically.

Adjust detection
If steps are split in two, raise the planted threshold or the smoothing. If quick steps merge, lower them. The measurements update at once.

- Turn
- Change of direction from the previous step. 90° or more counts as a turn (clay rows).
- Since last
- Seconds since the previous step by either foot.
- Step speed
- Step length divided by airtime.
- Accel.
- How fast body speed was rising (+) or falling (−) at landing.
- Lands at
- Metres on court: x = 0 is the centre mark, y = 0 is the baseline.
Readings come from a camera-based pose model: expect several centimetres of error near the baseline and more toward the net. The Footwork Index is a draft formula.
