6. . Click "Sequence" and then "Model Wizard". The following screen will appear:
7. Click the "New Model" box. The following screen will appear:

8. In the "Model Profile Name" box, type a name for the template that will be
created. Here we will use the name AMERICAN FOOTBALL (use names
that the analysis that is being carried out so that the file can then be easily
located). In the "Number points to be digitized" box, type number of points that
the model will have. Here in our example, we will use a total of 7 points. Click
"Next." The following screen will appear:
9. In the "Point Name" column click on the name of the points (Point 1, Point 2,
...) and place the name for the anatomical point or the object on which you
attached the highlighter. Always use a marking sequence of markers in your
respective segments. As said in the classroom, start "from top to bottom" or
"bottom up." Unconnected points (such as balls, fixed objects, etc.) do not has
this concern. Here we will use the following names, in the following order:

10. After filling, click Next. The following screen will appear:

11. Click the "Add" button to create the segments. Each click adds one to your
list. The segments are defined from the union of the points created previously,
according to the model elaborated. In our example, we will have segments, so
we will click 5 times:
12. In the "Base Point" column select the point where the segment starts. At
"Anchor Point" column select the point where the segment ends. In column
"Name" create a name for your segments. Always remember to follow the order
from top to bottom or bottom to top. As the ball is not part of any segment, it
stays out. In our example it looks like this:
13. Click "Next." The following screen will appear:

14. Change the "Calibration Profile" box to the "Default_2D" option and click
"Advance".

15. Click "Finish". Ready! Your template was created. Click "File" and then in
"Save As ..." and save your file to a known location. It is advisable to save the
file periodically as the analysis is performed. This avoids that undesirable
disconnections generate the loss of the work already done. After clicking
"Finish" will display the following screen:
16. Right-click in the middle of the black screen and choose the "Open Video (*
.avi) ". Find the video on your computer and double-click it. The video is will
open.

17. From a new double click, now on the video and choose the option "Video
Options. " The following screen will appear:

18. In the "Video Image Type" box select the "Interlaced" option. In the "First
Interlaced Image "check the" Odd Line Numbers "option. In the "Image Format
"select the image size according to the shooting that was performed. In our
example, the video used is in the "4: 3" format. The box will following aspect:
19. Click "Ok".

20. This will be your desktop for scanning the movement:

21. Click the icon to start scanning the motion.

22. At the bottom of the screen will appear: "Movement" indicates that it is a
movement that is being analyzed. "Right" indicates the side of the analyzed
subject. "Ankle" indicates which the next point to digitize is. "Image 1/46"
indicates that it is the frame number 1 of a video that has a total of 46 frames.
"563.00 / 480.00" indicates the position of the mouse (x / y) on the scanning
screen.

23. Scan all points in all frames of the video where motion happens. Take the
utmost care so that the accuracy is MAXIMUM! Minor errors during scanning
may generate large errors during scanning analyze.
24. If any point is entered incorrectly, use the "Digitizing" then "Point / Marker"
and then "Erase Last Point" to delete the point. If you want to delete all points
in that frame of the video, use "Digitizing" then "Point / Marker" and then
"Clear All Points". This option deletes only all points in the frame. Other video
frames will continue to be scanned.
25. If a point leaves the scanning area (eg a ball that has been kicked, or an arm
that came out of the camera's shooting area) you can "skip" that point and
continue typing the others. In this case, use the "Digitizing" option "Point /
Marker" and then "Missing".

26. At the end of the scan, click the icon to start the calibration. THE
following message will appear:

27. If the calibration object is in the same video (at the end or at the beginning) in
which the movement is clicked on the option "No" (it is our case, since the in
the last frames of our video). If the calibration be in another video, choose the
"Yes" option and open the video corresponding.

28. Click on "Sequence", then "Calibration Options". The following screen will
appear:
29. In the "Calibration" tab, set the coordinates for the 4 points marked on the
caliper set during filming procedures. Remember that the first line identifies
point 1, the second line points 2 and so on. We will use only the "X" and "Y"
columns as it is a 2D analysis. The first coordinate identifies the lower-left
point of the calibrator, The second coordinate is the lower - right, the third - the
upper - right and the fourth the upper left. See the diagram below:
30. In this way the filled box is as follows:
31. Click "Apply."

32. Click on the "Filtering / Interpolation" tab. In the "Missing point interpolation
"check the" Linear "option. In the "Filtering parameters" check the "Frequency"
option and set the "Frequency Option - Low Pass Cut Off Frequency"
according to the movement analyzed. Here we fill in the value 6 (the which
means 6Hz). The box will look like this:
33. Click "Apply" and then "Ok."

34. Now you will calibrate the movement.

35. Select the point of the video where the caliper appears and click on the points
system has been configured. Remember to use the same order of points as
informed to the software. There are 4 points in total, at the bottom bar of the
screen you can track which ones have been marked. If any has been mislabeled,
the same procedures can be used here.

36. At the end of the calibration the following message will appear:
37. Click "Yes" and save the file.

38. Ready! Your video has been scanned and calibrated. Now you can start your
evaluation of movement.
