Does Analysport replace XPS?

Not today. Analysport mainly speeds up the video step before you put the content to work in your setup: pre-clipping, correction, annotation and prepping a usable base.

Why use Analysport if my club already runs XPS?

Because the bottleneck can sit before you organise the content: finding the actions, clipping the sequences, correcting the clips and prepping a clean base. Analysport focuses on that step.

Is the XPS 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 XPS?

Analysport can cover some simple video use cases, but its current positioning is mostly upstream: prepping the clips faster before you put them to work in your staff setup.

Can I correct the clips before export?

Yes. 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 staff?

Yes, if the staff handles a lot of video and wants to cut the time spent on repetitive tasks. The higher the volume, the more the pre-clipping costs you.

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

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

XPS handball: prep your clips faster

Analysport isn't here to break your XPS setup

If your club already runs XPS, you've probably got a system in place: planning, staff, content, player feedback, session prep and team tracking.

XPS isn't necessarily the problem.

The problem is the video step that comes before it: turning a raw match into clean, usable sequences clear enough for your staff to actually work with.

That's the step Analysport focuses on.

You keep your system. You cut the time lost on video prep.

Before you can share any analysis, the video has to be prepped first

Raw footage isn't usable as-is.

You have to find the key actions, clip the sequences, drop the dead time, correct clips that run too long or too short, add context, and keep only what's genuinely useful for the staff or the players.

That work is mostly invisible, but it eats time every single week.

Rewatch the match to find the right actions
Clip the sequences one by one
Clear out the useless clips
Correct the start and end of each action
Build a clean base for the staff
Repeat the same work after every match

The more your club leans on video, the heavier pre-clipping gets.

Analysport speeds up the jump from raw footage to usable clips

You upload your match. The AI prepares a first base of sequences. You correct, annotate, validate, then keep only what matters.

Analysport isn't here to replace your staff's setup.

It's here to cut the most repetitive part of the video work: prepping the sequences before you put them to use.

You start from a full match. Analysport builds the base. You take back control to correct, annotate and structure exactly what you want to use.

Automatic pre-clipping of the match
Editable clips
Adjustable timecodes
Simple action annotation
Statuses: validated, to review, skipped
Export prep, depending on your plan

The AI builds the base. The staff keeps the call.

XPS to organise the work. Analysport to prep the video faster.

In a club, video is only one part of the workflow.

There's the organisation, the planning, the comms, the sessions, the player feedback and the analysis. Every tool needs a clear role.

XPS

XPS can help structure team work, organise content, prep sessions and support staff tracking, the way your club already does it.

Analysport

Analysport steps in before the deep work: it helps turn raw footage into a first base of sequences so you never start from scratch.

How the two connect

The goal is to cut the time spent prepping video sequences, then let your staff work from a cleaner base inside the system they already have.

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

A simple workflow, before your XPS setup kicks in

Analysport focuses on the most repetitive part: getting from the full video to a usable base of clips.

1
You upload your match
Add your video to Analysport straight from your browser. No mandatory proprietary gear.
2
Analysport preps the clips
The AI detects the key phases and generates a first base of sequences.
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 info: phase, outcome, player, team, comment or status.
5
You put it to work
You walk away with a cleaner base for your debrief, your staff feedback, your opponent scouting or your existing workflow.

Before, you had to prep the whole video. Now you start from a base that's already structured.

The usual workflow

You start from raw footage
You hunt down the actions by hand
You set the clip points
You clear out the useless clips
You build the base before you can use it
You burn time before you reach the useful stuff

With Analysport upstream

You upload the video
The AI builds a first base
You correct the clips that matter
You skip what's useless in seconds
You add your annotations
You reach a usable base far faster

The win isn't scrapping your system. The win is cutting the time lost before it becomes useful.

When to use Analysport before your XPS workflow

Analysport pays off when video prep starts eating too much of the staff's week.

Prep a player debrief

You want to isolate the key actions fast and build clear feedback, without searching for sequences live in front of the group.

Prep opponent scouting

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

Structure the staff's work

You want sequences that are easier to check, comment and share inside your own organisation.

Run multiple teams

If you track several age groups or several teams, every minute saved on pre-clipping makes the workflow more sustainable.

For staffs who want to keep their framework, but speed up the video

This page isn't about selling a full replacement. It's for people who want to improve one specific step in their workflow.

Head coach

You want to prep your sequences faster so you walk into the debrief with clips already sorted and ready to use.

Video analyst

You want to cut pre-sequencing time so you get to the detailed analysis, the clip selection and the staff handoff sooner.

Pro staff

You want smoother video processing, so sequence prep never turns into a bottleneck.

Youth academy

You want to ship video feedback more regularly without piling too much onto the staff.

You keep control over what the AI suggests

In handball, a sequence isn't always easy to label.

A fast break can turn into set offense. An action can start before the visible phase. A sequence can be useful even when it doesn't end in a goal.

That's exactly why Analysport has to stay editable.

Change a clip's start
Change a clip's end
Fix a phase
Add an outcome
Flag a clip to review
Skip a useless sequence
Annotate a key action

A useful AI shouldn't box the staff in. It should win them time.

The export has to reflect your real work

A clip you corrected in the interface has to stay corrected in the final result.

An annotation you added has to be saved.

A clip you skipped must not resurface in the export.

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

Corrections visible in the interface
Corrections saved
Skipped clips left out of the export
Validated clips kept
Annotations included, depending on your plan
Export formats sharpened with field feedback

The export isn't a side feature. It's the moment the product has to prove it's reliable.

Analysport isn't "the new XPS"

That would be the wrong pitch.

XPS can structure a big part of a staff's organisation. Analysport takes a different angle: cutting the time spent prepping video clips before they're put to use.

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

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

Why Analysport can still help even if your club is already equipped

Being equipped doesn't mean the workflow is light.

If the staff still has to clip everything by hand, video prep stays heavy.

Analysport targets one precise step: cutting the time between raw footage and a usable base.

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

The right tool isn't the one that promises everything. It's the one that removes a real friction.
