Video analysis
Upload the match video, link the DataVolley scout file and review every rally, filtering by player, skill and outcome.
Where it lives and who does what
Open More → Match Videos. The whole team can watch videos; uploading is for the coach and staff members with permission to add videos; only the coach can delete a video.
Uploading a match video
- Tap the upload button and pick the file from your photo library or files (MP4, MOV or AVI, up to 5 GB).
- Fill in the match details: home and away team (with a button to swap them), competition, first/second leg, date and time. The video title is composed automatically.
- If you like, link the video to a match already imported in Statistics.
- Tap Upload and wait for the upload to finish.
Formats and the "processing" state
MP4 files are ready to watch right after upload. Other formats are converted automatically: the video stays in a converting state ("processing") for a while and becomes playable as soon as the job is done. On iPhone and iPad the MP4 conversion starts on the device itself, before the upload.
Clips from the DataVolley scout file
This is the heart of Video analysis: by importing the match's .dvw scout file, the app automatically creates a clip for every rally, with set, score, player, shot type, outcome and game phase. From the video menu you can:
- Use scout from Statistics — reuse the .dvw file already imported in the Statistics section, without uploading it again;
- Upload new file (.dvw) — import the file directly here.
Court sides
With the Court sides option you set, set by set, which side of the court your team plays on in the video. It's needed to orient the shot trajectories correctly on the mini court; the side switch between sets is handled accordingly.
Watching the clips
The player gives you full control over the review:
- Filters: team, player, action, outcome, set and phase (side-out or break point) — perfect for reviewing "all of number 7's attacks" or "all the negative receptions";
- Modes: "Rallies only" jumps from one clip to the next in sequence, "Full match" keeps playing the video from the point you pick;
- Clip start adjustable by a few seconds, in case the scout file's timecode is slightly off;
- shot trajectories on the mini court, toggled on top of the video;
- full screen for reviewing with the team.
Storage space
Videos are heavy: the PRO plan includes 50 GB of storage, the CLUB plan 120 GB. If you hit the limit, the app warns you at upload time and you can free up space by deleting older videos.
