Kinovea is a free and open source solution for video analysis. It is mostly used by sports coaches and athletes to explore, study or comment a performance. In addition to this primary focus, Kinovea is also used by animation artists, podiatrists, and ergonomics engineers.
Kinovea is organized around four core missions related to studying human motion: capture, observation, annotation and measurement.

This page goes into more details regarding what tools Kinovea provides to help you get the most out of your setup.

Some of the features presented here are only available in the beta version, and in consequence aren't fully described in the manual. If you have any question on how to use the features mentionned here don't hesitate to post on the forum.

Observational references : overlay complex drawings or images as motion guides on top of the video.
Dual Export: save composite output from your comparison analysis.
