Finish Line Marks

Mark finishers in real-time, assign bibs via video review, and create professional replay overlays. Requires Director.

How It Works

As athletes cross the finish line, tap to mark each finish. Each mark captures the exact race time and video position. After the race, review marks frame-by-frame to assign bib numbers and verify times.

Marking Finishers

  1. Start the timer and begin recording video
  2. Tap the mark button (or use a Bluetooth clicker/keyboard spacebar) each time an athlete crosses the finish line
  3. Each mark records the race time, video timestamp, and place
  4. After the race, open the marks view to review and assign bib numbers

Video Review & Bib Assignment

Open any mark to jump to that exact moment in the recorded video. Scrub frame-by-frame to verify the finish, then assign the athlete by bib number or name from your start list. Marks can be verified, edited, or deleted as needed.

Director Overlay Export

Once athletes are tagged, you can export the video with a professional Director Overlay. This renders athlete names, bib numbers, places, and finish times directly onto the video at the moment each athlete finishes.

Overlay Options

Tip: The Director Overlay is perfect for creating professional race replays to share with parents, post on social media, or include in team presentations. Athletes see their name pop up on screen as they cross the finish line.

Fade Effects

Athlete labels smoothly fade in when they appear and fade out after the display duration. This gives the overlay a polished, broadcast-quality look.
