Match Splitting

A recording of a full event day is eight or more hours long. Teams looking for their own matches, whether to review them or to scout the teams they’ll face next, have to scrub through all of it. Match splitting turns the day into one short video per match, or adds chapter markers to the full recording so each match is one click away.

There are two ways to do this:

• Live: an automation tool starts and stops a recording for each match as it happens. This needs the Gold-tier FTC Live integration.

• Post-event: a volunteer cuts the day’s recording into matches after the event. This works at any tier, and needs only the recording and the match schedule.

Splitting matches live without automation means someone has to start and stop a recording for every match, which ties up a volunteer for the whole event. Bronze and Silver events should split matches after the event instead.
