I'm looking into software for producing playbooks. I would like one that has animation capabilities. Any suggestions? It looks like the 'Coaches Office' product and 'Playmaker' are popular programs. If you use these please let me know what you think.
Also, any input on statistics and/or practice planning software.
Thanks

we have been using playmaker pro for years and love it. Now that we are using TD video for our editing software we can now import video into our playbook and show the kids the play, animation and the video.

I have tried most programs out there and I usually find limitations that frustrate me. So, I now use Visio and nothing else. I want full control and Visio lets me do whatever I want.

I use coach's office and it's pretty good. Once you get the hang of it there are some tricks to making things go quickly and easily and I think it works pretty well to create a playbook. There are some things I would change to make it more efficient but overall I like it. I'm also under the impression that it is compatible with Digital Sports Video which I'm thinking about investing in sometime in the near future.

Powerpoint is easy to work with and most folks already have it on their computer (= free). It can do tons of thing from animation to voice overs to game clips insertion. Also the viewer is a free download from Microsoft, if your players don't have it. Here's a simple sample of one we recently gave to our players to show them the new formation and motioning system we're installing. We created a secure login area on the website for them to download it from. This allows us security and we can see who's dowloaded playbooks. Note: it has some automatic animation, but whne it stops moving forward just click your mouse. www.savefile.com/files/9511515 For those who don't have Powerpoint installed on their system already, here's the link to the free Viewer from Microsoft - www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=428D5727-43AB-4F24-90B7-A94784AF71A4&displaylang=en |
