Does Analysport replace Dartfish?

Not today. Analysport mainly speeds up the step before advanced analysis: pre-clipping, correction, annotation and prepping a usable base. If you already use Dartfish, the goal is to reduce the time wasted before your real work starts.

Why use Analysport if I already have Dartfish?

Because the bottleneck isn't always the analysis tool. The bottleneck is often the time spent prepping the material: finding the actions, clipping the sequences, cleaning up the clips and organising a base. Analysport focuses on that step.

Is the Dartfish export guaranteed?

No, and we won't pitch it as guaranteed without validation on real files. Analysport is built to prep exports that fit existing video workflows, but the formats have to be tested and validated against concrete cases.

Is Analysport an alternative to Dartfish?

For some simple use cases, Analysport can be seen as an alternative. But its current positioning is mostly complementary and upstream: prepping the clips faster before the advanced analysis.

Can I correct the clips before export?

Yes. That's a core principle. You should be able to adjust the sequences, correct the phases, annotate the actions, skip the useless clips and export only what matters.

Is it useful for a professional video analyst?

Yes, if the analyst handles several matches or several teams. The higher the volume, the more the repetitive pre-clipping costs you. Analysport helps reduce that friction.

Is it useful for a coach who doesn't use Dartfish?

Yes. Analysport can also be used simply to prep clips, build a debrief or organise usable sequences without an advanced workflow.

Save time before Dartfish handball

Analysport isn't here to break your Dartfish workflow

If you already use Dartfish, you've got your habits: your markers, your categories, your exports, your way of delivering feedback and working with the staff.

The problem isn't necessarily Dartfish.

The problem is everything you have to do before you reach a clean base: rewatch the match, clip the sequences, adjust the clips, drop what's useless and set the table for analysis.

That's where Analysport fits in.

You keep your analysis tool. You reduce the time wasted before you even open it.

The longest work often starts before the analysis

Before you can produce a useful analysis, you have to prep the material.

On a handball match, that means finding the actions, isolating the phases, clipping the sequences, dropping the dead moments and organising the clips.

This work is necessary, but it burns a lot of energy.

Rewatch most of the match
Set the clip points
Adjust the start and end of each action
Sort out the useless clips
Build a usable base
Repeat the same process every week

The more matches you analyse, the more this step costs you.

Analysport prepares a first base before your advanced analysis

You upload your match. The AI prepares the sequences. You correct what needs correcting, add your notes, then get back a base that's ready to use.

Analysport isn't here to replace your expertise or your main tool.

It's here to kill the friction before your analysis.

You start from raw footage. Analysport generates a first base of clips. You take back control to clean up, correct, annotate and keep only what counts.

Automatic match pre-clipping
Clips you can correct
Adjustable timecodes
Simple annotations
Statuses: approved, to review, skipped
Export prep that fits your workflow

The AI preps. The analyst approves.

Dartfish for advanced analysis. Analysport to speed up the prep.

Good positioning isn't claiming one tool should do everything.

In a serious video workflow, every step has to be clear.

Dartfish

Dartfish handles advanced video work, structured analysis, sequence breakdowns and feedback delivery the way the analyst or staff likes to work.

Analysport

Analysport comes before: it helps turn raw footage into a first base of sequences so you never start from a blank timeline.

How the two connect

The goal is to reduce the time spent prepping sequences, then let you work from a cleaner base inside your existing setup.

Analysport doesn't promise perfect compatibility with every Dartfish workflow without field validation. The product moves forward with real files, real tests and real feedback.

A simple workflow before Dartfish

Analysport focuses on the most repetitive part: going from raw footage to a usable base of clips.

1
You upload your match
Add your match video to Analysport from your browser. No proprietary gear required.
2
Analysport prepares the sequences
The AI detects the key phases and generates a first base of clips.
3
You correct
You adjust the timecodes, correct the phases, skip the useless clips and keep the actions that matter.
4
You annotate
You add the useful details: phase, outcome, player, team, comment or status.
5
You prep your export
You get a structured base for your debrief, your analysis or your existing video workflow.

Before, you built the whole base by hand. Now, you correct a base that's already there.

Classic workflow

You start from raw footage
You rewatch the whole match
You set every clip point
You clean out the useless sequences
You build your base before the analysis
You burn a lot of time before reaching the real video work

With Analysport upfront

You upload the video
The AI prepares a first base
You correct the clips that matter
You quickly skip what's useless
You add your notes
You reach a usable base faster

The win isn't to remove your analysis work. The win is to remove part of the repetitive work that comes before it.

When to use Analysport before Dartfish?

Analysport helps when your main problem is video prep time.

Scout an opponent

You have to rewatch several of an opponent's matches. Analysport helps you get a first base of sequences to sort through, faster.

Clean up your own match

After your match, you want to isolate the key actions to prep staff or player feedback without clipping everything by hand.

Standardise a weekly workflow

When every week looks the same, pre-clipping becomes a recurring load. Analysport helps make this step more consistent.

Work across several teams

If you analyse several age groups or several clubs, every hour saved on video prep counts.

For people who want to keep Dartfish, but waste less time before it

This page isn't built to sell a brutal replacement. It's for people who want to improve one specific step of the workflow.

Video analyst

You want to reduce pre-clipping time so you can pour more energy into picking sequences, reading the tactics and delivering to the staff.

Coach who uses video

You want to prep your clips faster without going through a chain that's too heavy or too technical.

Pro staff

You want to streamline video processing and reduce the load of repetitive tasks before the advanced analysis.

Youth academy

You want to produce video feedback more regularly without blowing up the staff's prep time.

You're not stuck with the AI's call

In handball, a sequence can be ambiguous.

An action can start before the AI spots it. A phase can shift mid-action. A clip can run too short or too long.

That's exactly why Analysport has to stay correctable.

Adjust the start of a clip
Adjust the end of a clip
Correct a phase
Add an outcome
Flag a clip to review
Skip a useless sequence
Annotate a key action

An AI base is only worth something if the analyst can take it over.

The export is the product's real contract

Prepping a base in Analysport is pointless if the final result isn't usable.

That's why the product is built around one simple principle: every correction made in Analysport must be visible, saved and exportable.

For advanced workflows, the formats have to be validated with real files and real usage.

Corrections visible in the interface
Corrections saved
Skipped clips excluded from the export
Approved clips kept
Annotations included depending on your plan
Export formats improved with field feedback

Analysport shouldn't promise more than what's been validated. It should ship cleanly what it claims.

Analysport isn't "the new Dartfish"

That would be bad positioning.

Dartfish is a tool baked into a lot of video workflows. Plenty of analysts already have their habits on it.

Analysport takes a different angle: reducing the time wasted before the advanced analysis.

The product focuses on pre-clipping, fast correction, simple annotation and prepping a cleaner base.

Replacement isn't the starting point. Saving time is.

Why Analysport can help even if you already have a video tool

Having a good video tool doesn't always solve the time problem.

If you still have to prep everything by hand, your workflow stays heavy.

Analysport isn't trying to add one more interface for the sake of it. It targets one precise step: reducing the time between raw footage and a usable base.

Less time on the first sort
Fewer repetitive clicks
More consistency in the prep
A base that's faster to clean up
Logic built for handball
A workflow that keeps you in control

A good upfront tool should disappear behind your analysis. It should get you to the right moment faster.

Built by a pro player, tested on real matches

Analysport is built by Aurélien Padolus, a pro player in France's Star Ligue, with Sport Performance Analyse, a video-analysis practice certified through IHF training. The clipping is calibrated on real LFH, N1 and N2 matches — not on demos.

The product doesn't start from an abstract promise: it starts from a concrete problem.

Coaches and analysts spend too much time prepping video before they can really use it.

Real match footage
Feedback from coaches and analysts
Work on handball game phases
User correction comes first
Export treated as a core step of the workflow

Technology only matters if it saves time in a real match week.
