Fast and automatic video access
Video access should not slow the day down
Most coaches already know how quickly video files add up. A full training day can produce many gigabytes of footage, often captured in difficult conditions with unreliable connectivity.
Traditional sharing methods move the problem rather than solving it. Uploading raw video takes time, downloading it again takes more time, and neither works well on limited mobile data or slow hotel wifi.
Protern approaches video access differently. Instead of treating sharing as a separate step, Protern Video prepares and delivers video in a way that fits how training days actually unfold.
Athletes can open their video shortly after filming
As soon as a run is filmed and saved, the video becomes available to the athlete in Protern Video. Coaches continue filming. Athletes review their run on the lift or between runs, without waiting for files to be sent.
What makes fast access possible
Fast access in Protern is the result of several deliberate design choices inside Protern Video. These choices focus on control, reliability, and real-world connectivity limits.
Controlled sharing, set by the coach
Coaches decide how videos are shared. Videos can be visible only to coaches, shared with individual athletes, shared with the whole team, or targeted to specific people. These settings can be applied by default or adjusted for individual videos. Athletes only receive access defined by the coach.
Video prepared for the available connection
Protern Video prepares video for sharing in a way that respects bandwidth limits. Coaches can choose how video is uploaded based on their environment, rather than being forced to upload large raw files.
Designed for viewing, not just storage
Videos are delivered in a way that prioritizes fast playback on phones and tablets. This reduces waiting, limits data usage, and avoids repeated downloads of large files.
One version of the video, kept in sync
When athlete data or comparisons are added to a video, the update is applied automatically for everyone who has access. Coaches and athletes are always reviewing the same version.
Automatic sharing after training
At the end of a training session, coaches want athletes to review their runs without spending time exporting or sending files. Protern handles this automatically as part of normal use.
-
Coach films runs using Protern Video or imports camera footage
-
Sharing settings are applied based on the coach’s preference
-
Athletes see their videos appear in Protern Video without any extra action from the coach
Sharing happens in the background. Coaches remain in control of who can see each video, including individual athletes, the full team, or coaches only.
Fast access on hill, even with limited bandwidth
When fast feedback matters, athletes can review their run while returning to the start. Coaches continue filming without stopping to manage files.
-
Coach films a run using Protern Video
-
Protern Video prepares and transfers the video automatically
-
Athlete opens Protern Video and watches the run shortly after finishing
Video filmed on a phone is prepared in a compact format for quick transfer and low data use, helping it reach athletes quickly even on mobile connections.
Fast access during races and multi-camera sessions
Race environments and complex training sessions often involve multiple camera positions and different filming devices. Video access needs to stay organized and dependable under pressure.
-
Coaches film using Protern Video on a phone or import footage from a video camera
-
Video is shared automatically within the team
-
Coaches and athletes filter by athlete, build multi-cam views, and review runs without sorting files
When higher quality footage is required, Protern Video can make a fast review version available immediately and then automatically upload the original quality once stronger connectivity is available.
Offline review when there is no connection
Training and travel often include periods with no reliable Internet access. Video review should not depend entirely on connectivity.
-
Coaches and athletes can download videos to their device
-
Downloaded videos remain available for review offline
-
When connectivity returns, updates are applied automatically
If there is no Internet at all, Protern Video still supports direct sharing options such as AirDrop or saving to an external drive.
Works when sharing tools fall short
Protern Video does not depend on raw video uploads to a web browser. It avoids the delays and failures common with generic cloud storage and web-based video platforms, especially when working with large volumes of footage.
When there is no Internet at all, Protern still supports direct sharing options such as AirDrop or saving to an external drive. Coaches are not locked into a single approach.
This flexibility ensures video access remains reliable across training camps, races, and travel days.
