Scorebug turns your phone into a sideline scorekeeper that produces broadcast-quality scoreboard overlays for your match footage. Stop scrubbing through hours of video trying to remember when each score happened. Tap the score on your phone as the match unfolds, end the match when the final whistle goes, and Scorebug emails you a transparent overlay video. Drop it onto your footage in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Clipchamp and your match cut is graded with on-screen scores in minutes. SUPPORTED SPORTS - Gaelic football, hurling, camogie, ladies football - Soccer - Rugby union - Field hockey - Basketball - Ice hockey - American football - Baseball More sports coming soon. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your sport, set up the teams and start the clock when the camera rolls. 2. Tap the score from the sideline as it happens. Pause, resume, and edit any tap if you misclick. 3. End the match. Scorebug builds a transparent ProRes 4444 overlay (.mov) and a VP9 alpha overlay (.webm) and emails them to you within minutes. 4. Drag the overlay onto your timeline above the match footage. Done. WHO IT IS FOR Club videographers, freelance match-day editors, school and university media teams, semi-pro and amateur production crews who want broadcast-style scores on their cuts without the post-production grind.
