Step 1 - Launch the app and familiarize yourself with the 3 buttons on the tagging screen. The Green arrow shown below allows you to switch between the front and back facing cameras. You can access the settings screen with the Orange Arrow and begin recording with the “Rec” button at the bottom of the screen.

These settings work to ensure that you can identify and tag the events you desire. As you see something of interest you will need to press the associated button, the lead in time is then taken from the point at which you tapped the video, with the lead out time occurring after the tap. Lets say you identified an interesting elements 7 seconds into the video recording and tapped the button, a lead in time of 2 seconds would mean that the video segment would be take from the 5 second point, and with the lead out time of 3 seconds the video segment would end at the 10 second point. This would result in a 5 second video segment which would contain your desired point of interest.  You can also change the titles of the buttons to suit the sport/activity you are observing as well as modify the video quality to  suit.
