🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT Introducing drawtactics.com A lot of people have asked me how I make my tactical diagrams, so I've made a web app that gives you access to my tactics board For those who like to analyse using match footage screenshots, there also a screenshot annotation tool that makes that process 10x faster The web app is still in MVP stage - it's not perfect yet, and I'll be updating it monthly to improve it It works best on desktop browsers at the moment - I'm working on touchscreen functionality (although the tactics board is mostly functional on iPad) If you use it, don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions, suggestions, problems or feedback you have 📩

Love to see people making use of the @drawtactics screenshot -> tactics board tool in their analysis

@JohanKamilTM @drawtactics yeah I definitely want to add video. I’m working on it, just need to iron some things out.

@JMftbl @drawtactics I’ve noticed a big difference in a short space of time; I know this is a much more substantial update, but I’m quietly hoping you’ll give us the option to edit or annotate videos at some point

💻 Little UI redesign for the screenshot annotation tool on @drawtactics is now live Existing users will notice the difference immediately I think the new way gives a much more efficient workflow

@MarkSnellFUTBOL @drawtactics I’m working on a video analysis tool atm that allows you to annotate video clips. the conversion to animation is definitely something I will look at once the basic video analysis tool is done - takes a bit of extra work compared to converting static screenshots

@JMftbl @drawtactics Yes exactly. I think if you could upload a clip, and have it Ai convert to animation would be huge. I assume a limit on the length of the clip? Can you give me a hint on what you mean in video analysis is on the way? Thanks!

🧑‍💻 Update: I've added a second mode for animation @drawtactics users now have more flexibility when making animations: "Timing" mode is more detailed and allows asynchronous start/end times for movements "Step" mode is much easier and faster, but less control over timing

Couple of new pitch templates to choose from on @drawtactics - JDP and set piece mode

@MarkSnellFUTBOL @drawtactics video analysis is on the way. in terms of AI integration - it’s something I can look at. Do you mean being able to go from match video to 2D animation?

@JMftbl @drawtactics Is there any plans to include a short video clip Ai similar to a screen shot? Thanks
