Understanding LongoMatch
1.1 Projects and Database
LongoMatch understands a game analysis like a Project. For each game you will need to create a new Project, that is stored in the programs database. A Project contains the following elements: A set of properties that describes the match (teams names, nal result and date) A project template (sets the properties of each category) A lename that points to video le containing the recorded game Its important to know that you cannot create two Projects for the same video le. The les name is used to set the projects name, so try to use a lename as descriptive as you can.
