Features

Everything CoachReel does, and how it works.

Frame-accurate annotation

Every annotation is stored relative to its clip, not to an absolute timeline position. That means annotations survive clip reordering, trimming, and project reloads. Draw once; it stays where you put it.

  • Arrows: point exactly where you mean
  • Freehand paths: trace a player's skating route
  • Circles & rectangles: highlight zones and positions
  • Text labels: add brief written cues
  • Area polygons: mark pitch zones, coverage areas
  • Animated skating paths: show movement over time
  • Smart Zoom: zoom into a region independently of playback
  • Voice annotations: record a short audio note on any frame

Clip timeline & composition

Build a complete coaching reel from clips across multiple source videos. The timeline sequencer keeps everything in order and auto-recomputes frame positions whenever you reorder or trim.

  • Add up to 15 clips per project
  • Drag to reorder clips instantly
  • Trim in/out points per clip, frame accurate
  • Add title slides between clips
  • Seamless playback across clip boundaries
  • Full undo/redo for every clip edit

Event tagging & analysis

The event system is designed to be fast during playback. Tag moments without pausing; then review the breakdown afterwards in the Analyze tab.

  • One-click tagging: pass, shot, turnover, possession, custom
  • Tags shown as coloured markers on the timeline
  • Per-clip event count breakdown
  • ML-detected events from automatic pattern recognition
  • Promote detected events to confirmed tags
  • Undo/redo for every tag action

Coaching templates

Templates are structured session plans built around event types. Pick a template and CoachReel auto-sequences your clips into sections based on the tags you already placed. What would take 20 minutes of manual sorting takes one click.

  • Offensive Analysis: shots, passes, zone entries, finish
  • Defensive Analysis: positioning, pressure, transitions, review
  • Turnover Review: locations, recovery, prevention
  • Full Game Review: opening, build-up, key moments, takeaways
  • Power Play Analysis (ice hockey): setup, execution, chances
  • Set Pieces (football): corner routine, free kick, defensive shape
  • Fast Break (basketball): trigger, transition lanes, finish
  • Custom: define your own sections and event filters

Side-by-side comparison (Pro)

Comparison mode answers one question: did this player improve? Load last month's clip on the left and this week's on the right, play them side by side, and let them see the difference for themselves. No narration needed.

  • Load any two video files into a split-screen view
  • Synchronised or independent playback on each panel
  • Draw arrows and text on either side
  • Export the full comparison as a single video file
  • Compare two players, two angles, or one player across sessions

Export & sharing

The WhatsApp preset was the most-requested feature during development. It produces a file small enough to send directly in a message, with no external compression step needed.

  • WhatsApp preset: optimised for direct sharing (720p, ~10 MB)
  • Standard MP4 at 480p or 720p
  • Original resolution export (Pro)
  • Intro and outro text slides included in the export
  • All processing local via FFmpeg, no upload required
  • Export a single clip or the full reel

AI player tracking (Pro)

AI tracking runs on-device using ONNX Runtime Web and a bundled YOLO model. No internet connection required. Detection quality depends on video resolution and camera angle.

  • Automatic player detection using YOLO / ONNX Runtime
  • Highlight annotation follows a detected player across frames
  • Runs entirely offline, no API calls, no cloud inference
  • Available on the Annotation Timeline (Pro tier)
