Trace

Download each half separately on a computer. Available for 90 days.

Needs the maker's subscription

Look out for "Unverified – check against your app"

Steps with that label aren't confirmed in the maker's help, or depend on your app or firmware version. Check them on your own device, and follow the maker's help if anything differs.

What it is

Trace records the match to Trace's platform. You download the full game one half at a time from a computer.

Own subscription or cloud? A Trace subscription.

What you need

A computer (the download is on desktop)

Before match day

Step 1:
Charge everything the night before
Camera, phone and any power bank you use.
Step 2:
Check there's storage space
Clear space on the card, phone or account before match day – after copying off anything you want to keep.
Step 3:
Type the match details into Trace
Team names, kit colours, opponent and kick-off. Squono's match setup card shows them ready to copy. Entering them in Squono does not configure your camera.

On match day

After the match: get your file out and upload it

Step 1:
On a computer, open the game and choose share
Step 2:
Download > Full Game > choose a half
You get one file per half.
Step 3:
Repeat for the other half
Step 4:
Open Upload in Squono
Use a computer or a phone on Wi-Fi. Big match files upload far more reliably on Wi-Fi than on mobile data.
Go to Upload →
Step 5:
Choose the team, then the match
Pick the fixture the recording belongs to, so the video appears on the right match page.
Step 6:
Choose both half files
Under "What is it?" choose "First half" for one file and "Second half" for the other. MP4 or MOV works best. Keep the page open until the upload has finished.
Step 7:
Wait for processing
Squono's video provider processes the file. Long matches can take a while. You can leave the page once the upload has finished.
Step 8:
Review, then publish
When the video is ready for review, watch a little of it, check it's the right match, choose who can see it and publish. Nothing is published automatically.
Open Review →

Upload tips

Squono plays matches at up to 1080p
Uploading a 4K file is fine, but viewers will see it at up to 1080p in Squono.
HEVC and H.264 both work
Squono's video provider processes both. You don't need to convert files before uploading.
Very large files
Very large single files haven't all been tested yet. If an upload is refused for size, split the recording (for example by half) and upload each part to the same fixture.

Costs and clouds

Trace subscription
Squono doesn't need the maker's plan to play your video
Once you've uploaded the file, Squono handles playback. You may still need the maker's plan to record and download.

Important

Keep your originals

Copy the untouched original file (and any goal clips you want to keep) to a computer or drive before deleting anything from the camera, the card or the maker's cloud. Squono's processed stream is not a backup of your original file.
