Anyone in need of a video annotation tool designed for sport analysis
About Kinovea
Kinovea is organized around four core missions related to studying human motion: capture, observation, annotation and measurement. This page goes into more details regarding what tools Kinovea provides to help you get the most out of your setup. Some of the features presented here are only available in the beta version, and in consequence aren't fully described in the manual. The main window doubles as an explorer for videos files, favorite folders and cameras. Kinovea doesn't try to manage your video collection, instead it just provides browsing into your drives and shortcuts. The video player is based on the FFMpeg libraries and thus can read almost any video format you will throw at it. Static images get a special treatment and are converted into 10-second videos to allow multiple pages of annotations on a single image.

VideFlow
VideFlow is a Windows sports video analysis tool designed for athletes, coaches, and analysts to review technique, posture, and timing. Optimised for short clips (5–30 seconds), it offers slow-motion playback, frame-by-frame control, and powerful tracking features:
• AI Body Tracking: Maps the human skeleton to visualise motion traces, movement direction limits, joint angles, and ranges of motion.
• Custom Object Tracking: Uses two points to track sports equipment like balls, rackets, or skateboards.
• Privacy & Performance: Runs fully offline with local processing, no ads, and no data collection.
Analysis sessions can be saved for later review, and analysed videos can be exported as watermarked MP4s. Adapted for desktop from the 2023 Android release.
Supported: Windows 7–11 (64-bit).

Grok Imagine Video 1.5
Grok Imagine Video 1.5 is xAI’s improved image-to-video model, built for better quality at faster speeds. Now generally available on the Imagine API as grok-imagine-video-1.5, it gives creators and developers a way to start from an image, describe the motion, and choose the resolution and duration for the generated video. Grok Imagine Video 1.5 and Video 1.5 Fast are described as xAI’s best image-to-video models yet, with better motion, better physics, better audio, and faster generation for real creative work. Audio and speech are generated in the same pass as the visuals, so sound effects, ambience, and dialogue land on the action, while speech is clearer and better synchronized. Motion and physics are also improved, helping movement hold together across the length of a clip with fewer warps and more believable weight and momentum. Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Fast almost doubles generation speed, producing 6-second, 720p videos in about 25 seconds.
