Processing — status, timing, and what you get back

Everything you have uploaded lives on the Film page, and each card updates itself every few seconds while work is in flight.

The status chips

• UPLOADING — bytes are still moving from your device.
• PAUSED — the uploading tab closed; pick the same file again to resume (how).
• QUEUED — waiting for a processing machine.
• PROCESSING — running. The card shows a live ladder of what is happening: finding the rallies, tracking players and the ball, reading jerseys, preparing your film.
• STORED — kept safe but not broken down yet, because the plan's allowance is used up. Press Break down now once a pass covers it — see plans and passes.
• STOPPED / CANCELLED — it did not finish; see below.
• No chip, with a Watch button — ready.

How long it takes

Roughly 0.8× the length of the footage — a two-hour match takes a bit over an hour and a half. The card shows a live estimate, and you do not need to keep the tab open once the upload itself is done. When it lands, everyone on the team gets a notification and the uploader gets an email (notifications).

What you get back

• The review player with every touch tagged — start here.
• A box score and advanced analytics — reading the numbers.
• Downloadable outputs (scout files, CSV, the touch log) on paid plans — exporting your data.

The Details drawer on each card shows the summary: touches, rallies, players.

When it fails

The card says what happened in plain words and usually offers Run again. Two failures name their own fix: a file that "was copied off the camera before the recording finished closing" needs re-exporting from the camera, and handheld or low-resolution film needs re-shooting — see how to record. Many stoppages retry themselves on a fresh machine automatically ("Nothing to do."); if a match still won't go through, a person on our side has already been alerted, and you can always reach us at hello@skyball.ai.
