Football video analysis software for coaches and analysts

Explain key moments with professional telestration, player tracking, and annotated video exports.

Currently in beta. Desktop Video Analysis and player tracking are still being improved, including tracking accuracy and performance.

Get Started

Desktop app for Mac and Windows (Windows beta).
Included in your DrawTactics membership.

Make the coaching point clear

Turn a match moment into an explanation your players can follow. Add arrows, highlighted zones, text, and player spotlights to show the passing option, the space to attack, or the defensive shape.

Follow players through the action

Track selected players with markers and connect them to show how your team shape changes as the footage plays. If a marker drifts, correct its position and continue tracking from that moment.

Pause the moment. Explain the detail.

Stop at the moment that matters and build a freeze-frame scene around it. Set how long the explanation stays on screen, then preview the transition back into moving footage.

Create analysis you can share

Preview your annotated sequence, choose the crop, and export an MP4 for your team briefing or audience. Keep the footage and analysis together in a saved project so you can return to it later.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the desktop or browser video analysis tool?

The demonstrations on this page show the desktop product for Mac and Windows (Windows beta). It is the main DrawTactics video analysis tool, with professional telestration, player tracking, and annotated MP4 exports. The browser version is a simpler backup for basic clip annotation.

Which computers can run the desktop app?

The desktop app supports Macs with Apple Silicon running macOS 14 or later, and, as a beta, Windows 10 or 11 on x64 computers.

What footage can I import?

The desktop app supports MP4 and MOV footage encoded with H.264 or HEVC. File compatibility depends on the video codec as well as the extension.

Can I follow a player as the footage moves?

Yes. Track selected players with markers and use connections to show relationships and team shape. Tracking can need correction: pause where a marker drifts, move it back onto the player, and continue tracking from there.

Can I pause footage to explain a coaching point?

Yes. Add a freeze-frame scene, place your annotations, and set how long the explanation stays visible. Preview the sequence to check the timing before exporting.

Is my match footage uploaded for processing?

Desktop media processing runs locally on your computer. The app keeps footage in your local project folder. An internet connection is needed for sign-in and membership verification.

What format does the desktop app export?

The desktop app exports annotated MP4 videos using H.264 video and AAC audio. You can crop the output and preview your analysis before exporting.

Does my membership include both versions?

Yes. Monthly and annual memberships include the desktop app for Mac and Windows (Windows beta), the browser tools, and the other DrawTactics tools. You do not need a separate video analysis subscription. Compare the membership plans.
