AUGMENTED VIDEO COACHING, QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS AND POSTPRODUCTION USING OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

Abstract

This study investigated the feasibility of using open source software (OSS) to provide augmented video coaching, qualitative analysis and media post-production which are tasks associated with professional coaching/scholarly activities. Utilised test equipment consisted of two video cameras, iPad, Mac-mini, two PC laptops and two desktops of various specifications. Free OSS were selected based on the possibility they could achieve the tasks. Testing occurred over a period of seven years. Critical analysis included OSS functionality mapping to the selected tasks and surrounding activities associated with media post-production. Instructional guidelines and their on-line links for the target audience were developed with the use of OSS VirtualDub, LongoMatch, Kinovea, VLC media player. The utilisation of OSS is feasible for coaching/scholarly activities.
