Video analysis is an area that we have not covered before here at Ghacks. Kinovea is an Open Source video analysis software for coaches, athletes and medical professionals. It can be used by anyone else obviously since it is freely available from the program’s homepage. It can be used to analyze virtually anything from Wii Fit performances to the performance of professional athletes.
You can basically load one or two movies into the application to analyze them. Most features can be used to analyze the movement of athletes or objects. A set of tools has been designed for the analysis like manipulating the playback speed between 2% and 200% or comparing two videos of the same scene from different angles.
Other features include a magnifier, 3D plane, image adjustments, comments, chronometers, trajectory analysis and saving a sequence as images.

Kinovea is a feature rich video analysis software. New features are constantly added by its developers. It requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 or higher to run properly.

Wonder if it can be used to study golf swings? There’s really been no good software out there that helps do this, except for the high-priced David Ledbetter package.
Holy Cow!
This is cool, will try it.
But it is an opensource application and for video editing opensource sucs.
