How the Shooting Timer Analyzer Works
Quick Start
Single Video Analysis
1. Upload Video
Upload your match or practice video. Our shooting timer analyzer uses ML to automatically detect shots and beep signals.
2. Edit Waveform
Review audio waveform. Add, remove, or adjust shot markers.
3. Overlay
Add a shot timer overlay with split times and draw time. Position it at the top, bottom, left, right, or hide it completely.
4. Export
Download MP4 video with shot analytics overlay.
Merged Video Analysis
1. Upload First Video
Upload and analyze your first video file.
2. Add Second Video
Automatically merges and syncs playback timing based on beep detection.
3. Layout
Choose layout: side-by-side, above-below, or picture-in-picture.
4. Edit Waveform
Adjust shot markers on the merged video timeline.
5. Overlay
Position shot streamer overlay on the merged video.
6. Export
Download your synchronized, merged video with analytics.
Shot Scoring
What is Shot Scoring?
Shot Scoring allows you to mark each shot with a score letter (A, C, D, M, NS, etc.) and position it on your video to indicate the score for that target. When you play back or export your video, animated score letters appear at the marked positions, providing instant visual feedback on shot placement and accuracy.
This feature is perfect for analyzing competition stage breakdowns or training sessions where you want to track shot-by-shot performance.
How It Works
1. Enable Scoring
Click the "Enable Scoring" button in the Manage menu to activate shot scoring mode.
2. Select Letter
Choose a score letter (A, C, D, M, NS) from the scoring sheet when Scoring is enabled, or set it later in the Split Times section.
3. Mark Position
Drag the playhead to the shot you want to score, then click on the video where you want the letter to appear (typically above or near the target).
4. Play & Export
During playback, letters animate in at each shot time. Export your video with scoring overlays included.
Scoring Features
Animated Score Letters
Score letters animate in from below, scroll upward to the marked position, hold briefly, then fade out smoothly.
Hit Factor Badge
When scoring is enabled, a Hit Factor badge appears in the shot stream overlay showing your calculated performance metric.
Penalty Tracking
Add penalties to your score calculation using the +/- buttons. Penalties are factored into your Hit Factor automatically.
Export with Scoring
Exported videos include both the animated score letters and Hit Factor badge, preserving all your scoring data in the final MP4.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of shooting is this for?
Shot Streamer works with any type of shooting video—pistol or rifle, competition or practice. It's perfect for analyzing competition shooting like USPSA, IDPA, IPSC, Steel Challenge, and PSCL matches, but also works great for casual range sessions and plinking. Our AI shot detection adapts to different firearms and environments, making it versatile for all shooting disciplines.
How accurate is the ML shot detection?
Our machine learning model is trained on a diverse dataset of action pistol shooting audio to achieve high accuracy. However, complex scenes or very rapid transitions may occasionally require manual adjustment using our waveform editor for perfect precision.
Can I analyze videos shot with different cameras or frame rates together?
Yes! ShotStreamer can process videos from various sources. When merging, our system automatically handles different resolutions and frame rates, optimizing them for a consistent output. You can then fine-tune synchronization in the layout editor.
What kind of analytics can I overlay on my video?
Currently, you can overlay essential metrics such as a real-time shot countdown timer, shot split times, and draw time from beep to first shot. The overlay can be positioned at the top, bottom, left, right, or disabled entirely.
My merged videos are out of sync. How do I fix this?
When merging videos, ShotStreamer automatically calculates a sync offset based on the timer beep detected in each video. However, if the beep detection is inaccurate or your videos don't have beeps, you can manually adjust the sync offset using the +10ms and -10ms buttons in the playback controls. Fine-tune the offset until both videos play in perfect sync.
Is my uploaded video data secure and private?
Absolutely. We prioritize your data security. All uploaded videos are encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not share your video content with third parties, and you retain full ownership and control over your data.
What if my video upload fails or processing gets stuck?
First, check your internet connection and ensure your file meets our technical specifications (e.g., max file size 500 MB for single videos). If the issue persists, please use the Feedback button to contact our support team with details about your video file and the problem you encountered. We're here to help!
Why are Login, Sign Up, Settings, and Save/Open Project disabled?
These are potentially upcoming features that are currently being worked on. ShotStreamer is currently in beta, and we're actively developing user account functionality, project saving, and additional settings. Stay tuned for updates via the What's New modal!
Can I make feature requests?
Absolutely! We are always accepting feature requests and value your input in shaping the future of ShotStreamer. Please use the Feedback button in the header to share your ideas, suggestions, or any features you'd like to see added. We review all submissions and prioritize based on user demand.
