How to make instruction video?

[Joakim Øster]

Hi, does anyone know how to make those “fancy” instruction videos, with arrows, lines, frame by frame, slo mo, split screen etc, for example to compare yourself or your student to a pro?
Is there a specific software?
I was recommended iMovie for video editing in general but don’t know if that will “do the trick”?
Hardware wise I own iPad and (old) MacBook Pro and (even older) iMac
Best, Joakim

I have used Kinovea and found that it has many capabilities. It is for PC. One of the best capabilities is that it has a count down timer. Impact can be ball impact at time "0".

Kinovea is free and open source. I have used it for at least 10 years.

On the forehand.

You can listen to it 20 times and still be learning.

I believe that Dartfish is the commercial version and believe it has Apple products.

Hi y’all, thanks for replying!
I´m not sure if you understood my question, or if I understood the answers; what kind of software would you use to create a video like say, this, on a mac or ipad?:

Either you don’t listen well or he isn’t a very effective teacher.

I know nothing about video production but as a consumer of tennis videos I have a request. Please make your video 5 minutes or less. If you plan well, you should be able to cover the key points of any stroke in 5 minutes and it will hold the attention of the viewer. At most, 6 to 8 minutes is all I want to watch.

ScreenPal is free and has good editing features to slow down or speed up, create graphics like arrows and stuff, and do split screen, etc. I did a video in another thread like this with a demo. Will have to find it.

U r correct in this case.

I do have the problem of ocd.

I need to settle for a stroke n ride into sunset with it. It's sooo hard with changing.

Also, given some of the ScreenPal free version limitations, you can check this out:

Screenity looks interesting. But your best bet might be OBS Studio, which will do everything you want and more, although there is some learning involved.
