Coaches have always known that video is one of the most powerful tools in football. Watching your own team play back, in full, is how you catch the patterns you miss on the touchline. But reviewing video manually is time-consuming — hours of footage, frame by frame, manually noting every key moment.
PitchStats Pro's AI Video Analysis feature changes this completely. Upload a clip of up to 5 minutes, and within 60–90 seconds our AI scans every frame — detecting events, measuring metrics, and delivering a structured match report automatically.

How It Works
Three Steps to a Full Match Report
Upload your clip
Open any saved match in PitchStats, scroll to the AI Video Analysis section and upload a video clip (MP4, MOV or AVI, up to 200 MB, under 5 minutes). The upload takes only seconds.
AI scans every frame
Our AI model — powered by Google's Gemini vision technology — processes the video frame by frame, identifying players, tracking the ball, and detecting specific events with timestamps accurate to the second.
Review your highlights & metrics
Within 60–90 seconds you receive a complete event list with clickable timestamps, a possession chart, shot accuracy, and an AI-written match summary. Tap any event to jump straight to that moment in the video.
Detection
What the AI Detects
The AI is trained to identify 17 distinct event types in a football match. Each detected event comes with a precise timestamp, a description of what happened, which team was involved, and a confidence score so you know how certain the AI is.

Clickable Event Timeline
Every detected event appears in a scrollable timeline beneath the video player. Tap any event — a goal at 1:23, a tackle at 3:47 — and the video jumps to exactly that moment. No scrubbing. No hunting. Just instant access to every key moment in the match.
This is perfect for post-match reviews with players. Load up the analysis, click on the moments you want to discuss, and walk through them together in under 10 minutes — something that would normally take an hour of manual video editing.
- Each event shows type, timestamp, team, player (if visible) and a description
- Colour-coded by event type — goals in green, fouls in red, tackles in amber
- Confidence score shown on each detection so you know how certain the AI is
- Goals are highlighted with special treatment at the top of the list
- Upload a different clip anytime to re-run analysis on another video
"I used to spend Sunday evenings editing match clips for the team session on Monday. Now I upload the clip, get the highlights in 90 seconds, and spend that time actually preparing the session."
