Free Software for Sports Professionals
Kinovea is a free video player that has been created especially for sports professionals and their trainers. Users can upload videos of them practicing different sports so that they can analyse their sports moves and gain the insight that they need to push their performance to the next level.
Analyse Your Moves to Perfection
Users of Kinovea simply need to take videos of themselves performing their favourite sports and then upload those videos. The action can be slowed down so that certain moves can be analysed very easily. There are numerous helpful features such as the opportunity to compare two sporting videos at the same time graphs and tracking to show the exact angles and measurements of various types of movements. The videos of other athletes can also be watched so that users can make a comparison and perhaps pick up a few tips at the same time.
Are You a Sporting Pro?
Sports professionals are sure to get a real kick out of using Kinovea. There are lots of great features to manipulate so that sports professionals can gain an informed insight into the way that they perform and see how they could do even better in the future. However people who are unfamiliar with the special graphs that the software uses to track and present progress can find it a little confusing at first.

Would be great if it didn't crash so easily during saving..
MoreNice tool but unfortunately it crashes easily when saving the end result vid. A good tip: after you hit save never go to another window before it's done or it will crash, guaranteed ! and you will have to go to task manager, abort and do it all again. You need to be very mindful to avoid this, i keep doing the same mistake.
Pros:
Quite intuitive to use, good graphic tools
Cons:
Crashing during save
