The screenshots use an iPhone 17 Pro and two local golf recordings. Frame controls require a compatible local video. Screenshots show the English interface on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator.

In Settings → Video Settings, enable Show Frame Mode Button. Open two local videos, reveal a player’s controls, and tap the filmstrip. Use −1 Frame and +1 Frame beside Play.

Reveal and enable frame controls

If the filmstrip is missing, enable Show Frame Mode Button in Video Settings first. Tap a video to reveal its controls, then tap the filmstrip. Frame mode pauses the video and displays milliseconds.

iPhone 17 Pro — The upper video is paused in Frame Mode at 00:07.479.

Inspect the next recorded frame

Use +1 Frame or −1 Frame beside Play. The screenshots show adjacent positions of 00:07.479 and 00:07.513. Read the actual time in your clip rather than assuming a fixed frame interval.

iPhone 17 Pro — The upper player displays the next frame at 00:07.513.

Review movement at a slower speed

Open the speedometer control and adjust Video Speed below 1×. Resume playback to watch the motion, then pause for further frame inspection. The slider supports very slow rates, including the 0.05× shown here.

iPhone 17 Pro — Video Speed provides a slider and a Remember Speed option.

Repeat in the other player

Reveal the second video’s controls and enable its filmstrip. Step that clip independently to find the same stage of the action. Equal elapsed times do not necessarily represent matching poses.

Compare matching actions

Find a shared event such as ball contact in each recording. Use synchronization points when you want to keep those events aligned during playback.

Reveal controls before tapping

Playback controls fade away. Tap the video to show them again before choosing a small frame or speed button.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the filmstrip missing?

Check Show Frame Mode Button in Video Settings and use a compatible local video. Web content does not necessarily expose these controls.

Does slow motion create extra detail?

No. It slows the recorded movement; it does not add missing frames or improve the source resolution.
