The same moment. Every angle. Your coach’s words.

From a coach’s words to the exact moment

“Nice tack—look how quickly he flattens the boat.” A useful observation should be easy to find again. With the coach’s commentary transcribed and aligned to the recordings, select its timestamp to revisit the matching video moment and review the technique.

You can do this even without GPS tracks or instrument data for the session. The video and audio provide the timeline; sailing data adds another layer of context when you have it.

Connect what you see, hear and measure

A GPS track shows where the boat went. Video adds the view from the boat or coach’s camera; audio preserves the observation made at the time. Aligning those sources lets you revisit a tack, start or mark rounding with the surrounding sailing data.

Review footage alongside session tracks and available speed, VMG and maneuver analysis. Use the overlapping recordings to look at the same moment from another perspective, rather than searching each file from the beginning.

How to align multiple recordings

1. Add your session recordings. Upload the relevant camera footage and audio. Give each recording a recognizable name, such as “Onboard camera,” “Coach boat” or “Coach commentary.” Keep recordings associated with the session they cover.
2. Find a recognizable moment. In the video alignment tool, choose an event you can identify in the footage and place on the session timeline—a start signal, a clear tack or a mark rounding. Another recording can provide the shared reference even when there is no GPS track.
3. Match it to the session clock. Match the point in the recording to the corresponding session time. Review and fine-tune the offset. Audio-only recordings can also have their capture time corrected to place commentary on the timeline.
4. Check another moment. Confirm the alignment later in the recording. Apply the same correction to other clips only when they came from a clock with the same error. Another camera or audio recorder may need its own correction.
5. Revisit the shared moment. Scrub the session to a time covered by your recordings, then review the available angle or commentary. A file that does not cover that time cannot show that moment.

Different file offsets, one session time

This illustrative example shows why matching the session clock matters. The recordings began at different times, but all three capture the same event.

Matching files by their playback position alone would put them eight seconds apart. Aligning capture times lets you review the same event together. Accurate alignment still depends on your reference moment and the recordings’ clocks.

Turn spoken commentary into a usable record

With transcription enabled, processed video and audio can provide timestamped text. Read the commentary, explore extracted notes and insights, and select a transcript timestamp to revisit the source moment.

That makes a coach’s observation easier to find again: the instruction before a tack, a comment about the start or a change in conditions. Verify names and important wording against the original audio, especially when wind or several voices make speech unclear.

Ask FLO to find the feedback—and show the moment

Hours of recordings can contain a few seconds that make the whole debrief click. Ask FLO to find a coach’s observation in the session’s transcripts and notes. It can cite the source recording and time and present the corresponding video, audio or photo for review.

• “Where did the coach say, ‘Nice tack—look how quickly he flattens the boat’? Show me that moment.”
• “Where did the coach say our pace looked good?”
• “How fast were we sailing when the coach said that?”
• “What should we check in the onboard footage before deciding what to practice?”

With the right sailor and recording time identified, FLO can connect the observation to the relevant GPS or lineup window and available speed or VMG. The coach’s words and the measurements remain distinct evidence. Without GPS, you can still find and review the recorded feedback; performance measurements depend on the data available.

Let your agent help with the alignment

Ask a connected assistant to inspect your recordings, find a timing reference and propose a correction. It starts with metadata, transcripts and lightweight previews, so a timing check does not have to begin with downloading every full-resolution video.

Preview the offset, apply it within your delegated permissions and verify another recognizable moment. Corrections keep a history and can be undone. If the evidence is unclear or one offset does not fit the recording, review the mismatch before applying a change.

Upload clips and coach audio through authorized media tools, follow processing readiness and keep source references for later questions. Original-file downloads require explicit permission and are subject to plan eligibility and transfer limits.

Review footage. Then share the story.

Use uploaded video and commentary for the detailed review. Use tracking-based 3D replays and exportable race recaps to explain the wider fleet picture and share key moments with sailors, coaches and supporters.
