In this tutorial we will walk you through how to use the Generic Video Capture tool.

Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/vuaEdrpVRbE

Overview

The Generic Video Capture feature in PostureScreen allows clinicians to record short video clips, take snapshot frames, and annotate those frames with lines, angles, arrows, and more. These annotated snapshots can be used for educational purposes and added to posture or movement reports — they are not intended for full video production annotation.

✅ Common Use Cases

• Highlighting knee valgus or varus angles during gait
• Demonstrating incorrect lifting posture
• Capturing squat form or athletic motion (e.g., a golf swing)
• Annotating key positions in a movement screen or PostureScreen exam

---

⚠️ What This Feature Is Not Meant For

• Creating animated or moving videos with annotations
• Full coaching replays with motion-tracked visuals
• Exporting annotated videos (only screenshots are supported)

🔹 Optional: Annotate Movement Screen Videos

You can also:

• Capture video from a Movement Screen (e.g., squats, lunges)

• Save and include these stills in the Movement Screen section of the report
• Capture a Generic Video and later change the Type to one of the Movement Screen types like a Lateral or an AP Squat by tapping the Change Type button
