Why dead-time removal changes review quality
A cleaner timeline means you can evaluate shot selection, positioning, and point construction back-to-back.
Even short review windows become useful when the filler is gone.

Quick answer
Want to remove dead time from tennis videos? RallyFlow auto-trims breaks and pickups so your match footage is easier to review point by point.
This page focuses on the exact pain point behind the query and the most direct way to solve it with a repeatable workflow.
Designed for raw match recordings.
Best input angle: baseline-to-baseline with full court visible.
Optional manual review and cut refinement.
What usually goes wrong
- Review sessions get diluted by non-point minutes.
- Useful clips are buried in long files.
- Coaches and players lose momentum during analysis.
RallyFlow fix
- Automatically isolate rallies from dead time.
- Keep exports clean and shareable.
- Use one repeatable workflow after every match.
What still matters during filming
Keep the camera stable and capture the whole court. This is the most reliable setup in the current RallyFlow version.
When to use manual cut adjustment
If unusual conditions create edge cases, open Adjust Cuts to fine-tune boundaries before final export.

Good fit
