VideFlow is designed for athletes, sports coaches, trainers, instructors and sports enthusiasts who want to understand and improve sporting technique through video analysis. It is particularly useful for analysing body movements, timing, positioning and technique in sports such as windsurfing, cycling, tennis, golf, swimming, martial arts, gymnastics and many other activities. It also suits students and self-coached athletes who want an accessible way to review their own performance, identify areas for improvement and share visual feedback without needing an expensive professional analysis system.

VideFlow's answer:

VideFlow is a sports video analysis tool that helps athletes, coaches and sports enthusiasts study movement and technique in detail. It combines slow-motion playback, frame-by-frame navigation and motion tracing tools to make it easy to analyse sports performance, identify technical details and illustrate areas for improvement. Its intuitive interface makes video analysis accessible without the complexity of expensive professional systems. VideFlow is available for Windows and Android, with VideFlow Plus offering additional features for drawing, annotation and voiceover.

VideFlow's answer:

VideFlow offers a straightforward and affordable way to analyse sports videos without the cost or complexity of many professional video analysis systems.

VideFlow's answer:

The idea for VideFlow came about in early 2023. It took me back to the early 1990s, when, as a teenager, I had someone film me skateboarding on an analogue camcorder. I would play the footage back on the TV, using pause and frame advance to examine the movements in slow motion. It was fascinating to see details of the action that were difficult to appreciate at normal speed.

Decades later, with video cameras built into smartphones, I realised that similar video analysis tools could be made much more accessible. I was particularly interested in the possibilities of using computer vision to track movement and display motion traces of the body and sporting equipment. Sports video analysis was already an established field, but I wanted to explore how these techniques could be brought together in a mobile app that was practical and accessible for everyday use.

I started developing VideFlow for Android as a personal project, combining my interest in sports and movement analysis with an opportunity to develop my software engineering and programming skills. What began as an exploration of an idea became a working application that I could use myself and share with others.
