Description
***********
 
LongoMatch is a sports video analysis tool for coaches to assist them on making game video analysis. You can tag the most important plays of the game and group them by categories, to study each detail of the game strategy. A list with all the tagged plays lets you review them with a simple click, even in slow motion. The timeline gives a quick overview of the game and lets you adjust the lead and lag time of each play frame by frame. LongoMatch has support for playlists, an easy way to create presentations with plays from different games. You can also create new videos with your favourites plays using the video edition feature.
