FilmFlowO help

Load video: a file from your computer, or drag it onto the video.
Open link: paste a stream link (ends in .m3u8).
From SDTV: add the FilmFlowO link bookmark once. Click it on a game page to get the link, or on any other SDTV page to find a game by date and team.
Pick the picture quality in the caption bar under the video.

Space play / pause · ←→ one frame (Shift 10)
L forward, J rewind (press again for 2×, 4×), Shift+L/J ¼ speed, K stop
↑↓ or the −5s / +5s buttons jump 5 s (Shift 15 s). ½× 1× 2× set the playing speed.
Jog wheel: turn it, 10° = one frame. Speed stick (under the wheel): push right to play, left to rewind. A small push is slow motion, the edge is 2×; let go to stop.
Click or drag the timeline; it keeps playing if it was.
To export a stretch, tap Select clip and drag across the timeline (on a Mac, hold Shift and drag). Drag the cyan handles to fine-tune, then Export clip. I and O still set the start and end at the current frame.
Frame steps follow the video's frame rate, detected automatically when it starts playing (shown beside the timeline).

Pick a tool and draw. Drawing pauses the film on that frame.
Ink stays on screen while the film plays, until Clear screen ⌫ or the next marked moment.
Undo ⌘Z. Five ink colours below the tools.
Tools with a cyan dot need the court calibrated.

Every frame you draw on becomes a moment in the strip at the bottom. Type a name under it.
Stop at marks pauses on each moment so you can talk it through.
[ ] previous / next moment. Moments button hides the strip for more video.
Export: P saves a snapshot; mark a clip with I (start) and O (end), then Export clip. Moments freeze in the clip; both carry the FilmFlowO watermark.

Calibrate court: tap the four corners of the key in the order shown. Court lines checks the fit.
Then rings, zones and X/O sit on the floor, and Measure and Spacing read in metres.
Camera pans? Calibrate again at that point.
Track: tap a player's feet, the film steps on, tap again; the ring follows between taps.
Text notes: tap anywhere on a note to edit it; clear the text to delete it.
Move player: on a paused frame, draw a loop around a player to lift him off the frame, then drag the copy to where he should be. His real spot keeps a dashed outline and an arrow; with the court calibrated the copy is sized for its new spot.

Pinch, scroll, or + −; 0 fits the whole frame. Drag the small map to move around.
Split view shows two videos; Link panes drives both together.
When there's an update, a message at the top says A new version of FilmFlowO is ready. Click Refresh (your ink on screen is cleared, so finish what you're showing first).
Something wrong? Shift+D shows diagnostics.

A game saves itself on this device as soon as it has a moment, a track or a calibration. ⌘S saves straight away.
Vault ⌘O lists your games. Open brings back the video, every moment and where you stopped. The opening screen shows your last three under Continue.
Stream games reopen by themselves. For a video file, FilmFlowO asks you to pick the file again and checks it's the same one.
Share sends a small game file (AirDrop, Messages, email). The other person opens it with Open game file and gets their own copy to add to. The video isn't in the file: they need the same stream link or video file.
Your browser can clear saved data, and the Home Screen app keeps its own vault apart from Safari. Use Back up vault now and then; Open game file restores a backup.

Layout Click a key to change it, then press the new key. A key already in use swaps over.
