Third Eye on the web
Cheat sheet
Short how-tos for the most important workflows in Third Eye. Pick a topic and follow the steps and screenshots.
These instructions are for the web app (app.thirdeye-performance.com). Instructions for the mobile app are coming later. The screenshots show the app in Finnish.
Bring videos into Third Eye
Upload videos from your computer to the team library.
Press Add in the library
Open the Library and press the yellow Add button in the top-right corner.
Choose Upload and pick the files
In the window that opens, choose Upload and pick one or more video files from your computer. You can select several videos at once.
Choose who sees the video
When you upload a single video it opens straight in the workspace, where you choose who on the team can see it. Several videos upload straight to the library.
Wait for processing
After the upload the video is processed so it plays smoothly on every device. The library shows how far the upload and processing are.
Tips
- Keep the browser open until the upload has finished.
- Record in the same window records a video straight from your computer's camera.
Add clips to sequences
Move through the video with J, K and L and cut clips into a sequence with a single key press.
Move through the video with the keyboard
Open a video from the library. These keys take you through a game or a practice without the mouse:
- KSpace
- Play / pause
- L
- Play forward. Press again: 2×, 4×, 8×
- J
- Play backward. Press again: 2×, 4×, 8×
- ←→
- One frame back / forward
Skim the video at 4× or 8× with L, stop with K and go back to the start of the play with J. Slow motion is on the speed button in the bottom bar (1x).
Cut clips with macros
A keyboard macro cuts a clip around the playhead with one key press and adds it to a sequence.
Open keyboard macros
Press the keyboard icon (Keyboard Macros) in the toolbar on the right edge of the video.
Add a macro
Press Add Macro. The same window lists all your macros, and you can edit or delete them there.
Pick the key, the clip length and the sequence
Give the macro a Key (e.g. 1) and a Label. Clip Bounds set how many seconds before and after the playhead go into the clip, e.g. 6 s before and 2 s after. Choose the Target Sequence: Create new sequence makes a sequence named after the macro, or choose an existing one. Press Create.
Press the key when the play happens
Watch the video and press the macro's key every time the play you want happens. The clip is added to the sequence right away and a notification confirms it. Cmd/Ctrl + Z undoes the latest clip.
Tips
- Make a macro for each kind of play, e.g. 1 shots, 2 goals and 3 power plays. Each macro fills its own sequence.
- Save as Preset saves your macros, and Load Preset brings them back for the next video.
- Without a macro: I marks the clip start, O the end, and + adds the selection to a sequence.
- Keyboard macros are available to coaches.
Mark key moments in a sequence
Drop colour-coded markers into a sequence with one key, e.g. rebounds and goals.
Open markers
Open a sequence from the library (Sequences) and press the flag icon (Markers) in the bottom bar.
Create your markers
Under New marker pick a colour, type a name (e.g. Rebound or Goal) and press Add. Every marker gets its own key (1, 2, 3…). To change a key, click it and press the new key. Changes save as you make them, so close the window with Done.
Mark while you watch
Play the sequence and press a marker's key when the moment happens. A coloured marker appears on the timeline at the playhead.
Jump to your markers
Click a marker on the timeline to jump to it. You can remove a marker you don't need straight from the timeline.
Tips
- Markers are saved on the original video, so they show up wherever that video is used, including other sequences.
- Markers are shared by the team: everyone uses the same names, colours and keys.
- You can also add markers to a single video: the flag icon is in the video's right-hand toolbar. If a key also belongs to a macro, the macro runs instead of the marker.
Create a sequence with AI
The AI finds the shots in your videos and makes a sequence for every goalie.
Switch to selection mode
Press Select in the top-right corner of the library.
Pick the videos and press AI
Select the videos you want the shots from, e.g. every video from the same practice. Then press AI in the selection bar. Select videos only: sequences and comparisons can't be analysed.
Start the analysis
Choose Shots by goalie. Under What was filmed? say whether it is a Practice or a Game, behind the net (e.g. a GoPro on the glass). If you know it, also pick How many goalies? there are across the selected videos, so one goalie isn't split into several cards. Press Start Analysis.
Wait for the analysis
A card called AI: shots by goalie appears in the library and shows how far the analysis is. You can close the browser: you'll get a notification when the goalies have been found.
Match the goalies
Press Match goalies on the card. For each goalie picture, answer Who is this?: an athlete on the team, a coach or Someone else…. If the picture isn't a goalie, choose Not a goalie — leave out. If the same goalie is on several cards, press Select, pick the cards and name them in one go.
Create the sequences
Press Create sequences. Every goalie gets their own draft sequence, tagged with that goalie, so only they and the coaches can see it. You'll find the sequences under Sequences in the library.
Tips
- If you set the goalie count to 1, the matching step is skipped: the sequence is created straight away and you get a notification when it is ready.
- One goalie's clips from all the selected videos go into a single sequence.
- Check the clips before you share the sequence. You can mark key moments in it with markers.
- AI analysis is available to coaches.
