How to join and split player trails

3 min read

Jaxo follows each player through the video with a trail. When the camera loses someone, their trail stops and a new one starts; when two teammates cross, their trails can swap. A few minutes of yours puts that right, so each player's minutes, distance, heatmap and highlights follow them through the whole game.

Open Join & split trails

Open Name, at the top of the game, then Join & split trails, under Fix. It lists the places to check, most important first: the trails that cover the most play, where Jaxo is least sure. Each one plays close up, with trail A ringed in yellow and trail B in blue.

Join? Same player or not

1. A Join? asks whether B, a trail that starts just after A's stops, is the same player as A.
2. Watch who A's ring is on when it stops, and whether B's ring starts on the same player. If it does, press Same player: join (J): the two become one trail, with A's name.
3. If they're someone else, like a player from the other team, press Different players (D).

Swap? Two teammates who met

1. A Swap? asks whether two teammates who came close came out the other way round.
2. Watch the yellow ring as they part: is it still on the player it was on before? A shirt number helps. If so, press Right as they are (K).
3. If the rings changed players, press Swapped: swap from here (W). Can't tell? Not sure: cut both here (C) leaves each piece to name.

A ring that jumps to someone else

Stop the video where the ring jumps, and press Cut A at the playhead (X) or Cut B at the playhead (V): the rest of that trail becomes a new one, for you to name. A trail that's really the referee's goes out of the teams with A is the referee or B is the referee.

Every answer is saved

Each answer is saved to the game as you go, and Undo (U) takes back the last one. Skip (S) leaves a question for later. The longest trails come first, so you don't need to check every one.
