Right View Pro or other video editing software?

What kind of editing do you mean - basic video editing (trim, DVD menus, voice-over, music, etc.) or purely baseball (draw lines, boxes, circles, arcs, etc.)?

redbird, I use RVP HS Coach's Edition. It will come with two different viewers that serve a lot of different functions. I've been experimenting with it and think I'm going to get a lot of use from it. You will need to pay attention to the type of camera you have for that software. In other words, it helps to have a camera with the capability of hooking a firewire cable up to your computer. That is key! I can take a video from our camera, and essentially, click, click click,... and with each click is another view of the hitter. It is amazing. I have done a lot with my girl both pitching and hitting. Keep in mind it is very expensive. I have a laptop and so, I use it everywhere. If you ever want to talk about this, send me an email and I'll send my phone number.

Take care and good luck!

Sandman,

I am loking for purely baseball...what do you use?

CoachB25,
You have a PM.

redbird,

I have RVP too, but really don't use it. I'm just too comfortable w/ V1 Home Edition and Corel's Animation Shop and Paint Shop Pro.

V1 Home Ed.
Animation Shop
Paint Shop Pro

Good information here but with technology, a lot can change in 6-7 months. Anyone have anything to add to this or in V1 and RightView Pro still the hot software?

C Swing is also a good new software editing tool out there.

I personally have V home edition and with the new updates it has improved some. But it does have its drawbacks. RVP is very good but on the expensive side , although Mankin has a good software package along with his Final Arc DVD. Something I don't endorse but would love that software.

Windows movie maker is free and it works great. If you are trying to make a fancy video you are headed in the wrong direction. You are not making a home movie.
I use it and a Canon video camera hooked up by firewire. WMM allows you to edit the video and do anything you would need to make it quick and easy for a coach to see what he wants. All the noise etc could be added but most coaches do0n't want the garbage added. Keep that for your home movies.

Check out www.icoach.com . You can upload any video and simultaneously view/VoIP with anyone else you want. Great for coach/student, athlete/athlete, coach/team. They are in Beta right now, and is a very easy way to self analyze your swing, throw.

What kind of analysis do you need to do? If it is just for your team and don't need to produce videos for youtube to players all over, you won't need all the fancy stuff. I use Quicktime. It works great, is free and works on both a Mac and PC.

Those of you with Rightview, can I bring video into it that is already on my hard drive or do I have to capture it with the capture software. The reason i ask is I already have video I have captured and if I bought this program, would like to just import this video.

I just came across another free software called Kinovea. Might want to check it out.

Baylor University i think uses Dartfish

Does anybody here use a Mac? If so, what software are you using?

This. It's awesome. Free. Great frame by frame off of a mouse wheel. I'm a big fan. Easier to use the RV Pro, just not as many bells and whistles. But I find once the season starts I ain't got time for bells and whistles.
