Video analysis software - Choices?

[ms244]

I have a couple of apps (Ubersense & Slow Pro) that allow me to record and view videos in slow motion. I use them to show my DD videos of her batting lessons. I believe this has helped her improve by her seeing for herself what she is doing and not doing. I'm a firm believer that in the "feel is not real" philosophy. Sometimes you need to see what you are doing wrong. For my DD, she has become a self critic of her swing, helping her become a better hitter.

I have also used Powerchalk software online. While I like this software better than the two mentioned earlier, you must log online to post your videos and to mark them up is quite slow and cumbersome. I am looking for software that you can download to your laptop or iPad and do the same things that Powerchalk allows. Do I have any options?

I saw that, but unfortunately I am using a Mac and they don't support Macs.

Okay, I just downloaded Kinovea and played around with a clip. Seems it saves in some strange format that can't be used by any other clip program. Is there any way to save as a normal format?

Not what you're probably looking for but something I just got on my iPhone (and it's a free app) is 'Sklzcam' - not much for options but works good for instant feedback at practices and such. Has an easy to use dial for slo-mo replay. You can also use video that wasn't recorded thru the app. Hope that helps somebody!!

when you do a save you will have the option to use the mkv format or you can choose avi or mp4 as well.

We use Coaches Eye on the iPad. The last couple of generations of iPad capture the video at 60 fps. Super easy to mark up and share. Has a new version for PC that is still kinda beta and an Android version I've never used. Doesn't cost much and I think it's way worth it.

There's MotionPro ($130) and Motion Pro Advanced ($249).

how can you tell? My iPad was 1 year old in December 2013. it has the retina display and 64GB of storage.

I got Ubersense and a Golf app called Swing Plane HD. In the settings for Swing plane you can select 30, 60 or 120 FPS but it says my device isn't configured for anything beyond 30 FPS. I still think of it as new....
