Sports video analysis software for Mac.
Pelaa video analysis is a Mac app for coaches who work with game or performance video. I built it from hockey, after five seasons in the KHL plus three in Finland as a video coach and player scout, and the workflow fits any sport with video. It costs €19.99 a month and the trial is 14 days with no card.
14 days free, no card macOS native Public pricing, no sales call
Any coach with game video and a Mac.
Individual and private coaches
Tag one athlete, draw on the key frames and send a short video. I priced Pelaa for one coach paying out of pocket.
Built from hockey, honestly
I built it in hockey. Nothing in the workflow is hockey-only. See hockey video analysis software for Mac.

Tag
Open MP4, MOV, M4V, MTS or M2TS video. A tag window is a grid of buttons you name, each with its own keyboard shortcut. Save it as a template for the next game.
-
Track
Every tag lands on a multi-row timeline, one row per category. Select, search by label, drag between rows and trim the edges.
-
Stack
Select tags and press =Equal sign to send them to the Stack. Re-trim and reorder the clips. Re-cutting a clip never touches its tag.
-
Annotate stop frames
Press ]Closing bracket to freeze a frame, then draw with freehand, line, arrow, circle, spotlight, highlight or text. Marks on a stop frame stay and are burned into the export.
-
Reports
The report builder turns your tags into count or time tables. Click a number and those tags light up on the Track. Reports leave as PDF or PNG, or copy into a spreadsheet.
-
Live capture
Plug in a camera or a capture box, press record and tag as the game happens, with instant replay while it keeps recording. A live stream link (HLS) works too, though stream recordings are video only. See tagging a game live.
-
Export

Questions coaches ask about sports video analysis on Mac.
Does sports video analysis software for Mac work for sports other than hockey?
Yes. Pelaa video analysis was built from hockey, but the workflow is the same for any game or performance video: tag the moments, stack the clips, draw on stop frames, export. You build the tag buttons for your own sport.

€19.99 per month or €199 per year. A Founding Lifetime licence is €399 one-time, limited to the first 20 customers. The price is public and you buy it yourself, with no sales call.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every download starts a free 14-day trial of the full app, with no credit card and nothing charged automatically. After the trial the app asks you to choose a plan. There is no free tier.
Which Mac does it need?
macOS 12.3 Monterey or later. It is a universal binary, native on Apple Silicon and also running on Intel Macs. The download is about 26 MB, notarized, direct from pelaa.tv and not from the Mac App Store.
Does it track players or tag the video automatically?
No. The coach tags by hand, with buttons and keyboard shortcuts. Reports are counts and times of the tags you made. There is no automatic player tracking or event detection.
Can I bring in tags from another program?
Tags import and export as XML and CSV, so tagged games come in and your tag libraries travel out.
Does it run on Windows or in a browser?
No. Pelaa is Mac only. There is no Windows, iPhone, iPad or web version.
