Features
Everything SubCoach can do, from the side of the rink to the debrief. Every plan includes all tagging and timing features.
Tagging and timing
- Point tags for moments (line passage start and end, a fall, a start) and range tags for efforts that last a while (a take-over, a relay exchange).
- Your own tag types with colours, and keyboard shortcuts on desktop.
- Frame-by-frame stepping and slow motion, with timing to the exact frame.
- Lap and split times per athlete, calculated from line passages. Copy them as a table.
- Set any moment as time zero, for example the start signal.
- A timeline with all tags on one line, which you can expand to one line per tag type.
Recording and uploading
- Record in the browser at the highest frame rate and resolution your camera supports.
- On iPhone: film with the Camera app or Blackmagic Camera for full control, then upload.
- On Android: install the app and share videos to SubCoach straight from your gallery.
- Any common format, including iPhone .mov (HEVC). Videos are converted for smooth playback in every browser.
- Capture date and frame rate are read from the file, and videos are grouped by day.
- Replace a video file later (for example a better copy) while keeping all its tags.
Athletes, labels and searching
- Keep a list of athletes and link them to the videos they appear in.
- Label videos by session, group or location, and filter on labels.
- Find all videos of one athlete in one click.
- Athletes with an account can be linked to themselves and see all their videos automatically.
Coaches and athletes
- Sign up as a coach or as an athlete: the app shows what matters to you.
- Coaches keep their athletes in one list and invite them by e-mail, one by one or a whole group at once.
- Invited athletes get their own account and automatically see every video they're in.
- Assistant coaches on your staff can view and tag all your videos.
- Athletes of Coach Standard and Pro coaches get Athlete Standard for free.
Sharing and teams
- Share a video, or many at once, view-only or with edit rights.
- Friends: pick people from a list instead of typing their e-mail address.
- Teams: every member sees the team videos. A team can have several owners who manage its members.
- View-only users can ask for edit access, and you approve it with one click.
- Notifications in the app, and e-mail notifications that everyone can switch off.
Public links
- Share a video with anyone through a link, without an account: a read-only player with the timeline, events, lap times and an athlete filter.
- Video lists: select several videos and share them as one link, with an overview to browse them like on the Videos page.
- Fragment links: share a fragment search, for example all spins of one athlete. The clips play one after another, and new matching videos are added automatically.
- Replay range tags in slow motion, with sound if you allow it or muted by default.
- Put any public link on your club website, and switch it off at any time.
Storage
- Automatic compression: videos shrink to a fraction of their size in the background, right after upload or after a delay you choose, so you can tag the full-quality version first.
- Compression keeps every frame, so tags and lap times stay exact, and a video is never compressed twice.
- See your storage use at any time. Plans from 1 GB (free) to 500 GB, and more for federations.
API for your own tools
- Connect SubCoach to your own scripts, timing systems and club website with a REST API.
- Upload videos automatically, with their details, athletes, teams and labels.
- Read videos, tags, lap times and fragments, and post tags from other systems such as timing equipment.
- Secure service tokens that you create in your account, limited to the permissions you choose and revocable at any time. A token only sees your own data.
- Included in Coach Standard, Coach Pro and Federation, on request.
