How to watch & download routines with multiple camera angles

NEW FEATURE: At select events you will now see the option to play routines back from multiple angles. We hope to expand this to more events in 2026 and beyond! Have feedback? Let us know by filling out our Contact form

At some events, we may supply multiple cameras to record routines from different angles and make these available for viewing and downloading via the Cheercast website.

Where additional camera angles are available, these will be shown in the top right corner of the video player when watching any individual routine. We will also note in the main event details box that additional camera angles will be available. When clicking the button for a different angle while watching a routine, the player will load that angle at the same point that is currently being played.

Note that in some cases due to limitations on the internet available at most venues, additional camera angles may not be uploaded immediately following each routine. Instead our team will aim to upload these after each competition day so they are available by the following day.

Types of camera angles that may be available (and their descriptions) include:

Angle Name	Angle Description
MAIN	This is a static (i.e. unmoving/fixed) camera that captures the entire competition floor. This is also the default camera angle and is what is used by judges.
OPERATED	This is a moving camera that is operated by a person, who zooms & pans with the action, but ensures all athletes are kept in frame at all times. Judges may use this angle as a back-up.
PTZ	This is a moving camera that is remotely operated by the main Cheercast operator (the person responsible for recording routines and providing support for our judging systems). As they are remote controlled, footage from PTZ cameras can seem a more robotic and less smooth than the same footage from an Operated camera, but still provide a higher quality recording than the static camera. Given Cheercast operators have a number of responsibilities at each event, some PTZ recordings may feature less (or very little) movement, as this can only be undertaken when the operator is not actively undertaking other responsibilities. In these circumstances, the angle will generally be set to a closer shot but still with most of the competition floor visible.
Other types of angles	At events where there is already an Operated angle, we may utilise PTZ cameras for additional angles. These will generally be focused on getting close up shots of athletes performing rather than keeping all athletes in frame.
