About

Practice Video Notes

Features
Read full description

“A bit more like this, right here” — and it doesn’t land. You send a practice video, then follow up with a message: “the arm position around 30 seconds.” They reopen the video, scrub back and forth, and guess at which moment you meant. Half of what you wanted to say never arrives. There are apps that burn captions onto the video, but then the movement itself is hidden behind the text. You want them to look at the posture, and a line of text is sitting on top of it. Practice Video Notes solves both at once. ■ Comments live outside the video What you notice appears in its own area below (or beside) the video. The movement is never covered, and the note for that moment is right there to read. This is what the app is for. You can also overlay them as captions when that suits the situation better. ■ Tied to the moment, so nobody has to search Every comment carries the timecode where you wrote it. Tap it in the list and playback jumps there. No “around 30 seconds,” no hunting. ■ It stops where you want them to look Pause automatically at a comment, slow down around it, or repeat the same range twice. These carry into the exported video, so whoever receives it just presses play and sees the point. ■ Export in a form you can simply hand over Export as a video with the comments included. Nobody needs to install anything. You can also export as text with timecodes to keep as a record. ■ Four steps 1. Add a video (photo library, files, or record on the spot) 2. Choose the range to use (trim the wait before you start and the tail after you finish) 3. Add comments while you watch 4. Export and share ■ Also included ・Frame stepping, 5-second skips, speed control, range loop ・Draw circles, arrows, and lines on the video ・Save phrases you use often and drop them in with one tap ・Write overall notes for the project, shown at the end of the exported video ・Organize with folders, search, and sorting ■ Who it is for ・Coaches and teachers explaining movement to students or a team ・Anyone who wants to review their own practice and keep a record ・Dance, ballet, instruments, martial arts, ball sports, rehab — anywhere movement is watched ■ About storage Videos and comments are stored only on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers. ■ About Pro The free plan allows 3 exports per month and 5 saved projects. Pro removes both limits. Monthly and yearly plans are available, plus a one-time purchase that never renews. ■ About subscriptions - Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly renew automatically.
