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.

PowerChalk
PowerChalk.com develops video analysis hardware and software that helps parents and coaches help their players optimize their mechanics. We help you get better faster. There's a proliferation of technology in the sports world. Game trackers, launch monitors, 3D sensors and video analysis. They all add value at different parts of a players development and skill level. The tool that has been around the longest is video analysis. Professionals and Olympians have used it since 1955. Early systems used BetaMax players, and coaches literally drew on the TV monitor and erased with alcohol wipes. The advent of digital video and mobile phones as cameras has put video analysis in reach for coaches and players at all levels. As coaches and parents ourselves, we know how important sports can be in a child's life. Not "winning and losing" important but "confidence building, competition tasting, work ethic, learning curve and team building" important.
