LongoMatch is a sports video analysis tool for coaches and sports scientists, to assist them on making games video analysis. It simplifies video analysis by providing a set of intuitive tools to tag, review and edit the most important plays of the game. It allows to group plays by categories and adjust their the boundaries (lead and lag time) through a timeline. It also has support for playlists, an easy way to create presentations with plays from different games and provides a video editor to render new videos with your favourite ones. Even if it is primary focused to sports, LongoMatch can be used for any task that requires tagging and reviewing segments of a video file, and can be applied to fields like cinema, medics or conferences.

LongoMatch understands a game analysis like a Project. For each game you will need to create a new Project, that is stored in the program's database. A Project contains the following elements:
1. A set of properties that describes the match (teams' names, final result and date)
2. A project template (sets the properties of each category)
3. A filename that points to video file containing the recorded game

It's important to know that you cannot create two Projects for the same video file.
The file's name is used to set the project's name, so try to use a filename as descriptive as you can.

LongoMatch lets you tag plays in 20 categories. For each category you can set the following properties:
1. A name that describes the category
2. A lead time
3. A stop time
4. A colour to easily identify the category

The visibility of this category (lets you choose if you want to use it or not) Each Project has a template that contains the properties of the 20 categories, which lets you customize a project just by editing its template.
When you create a new project you have to select a template to load, that can be the default template or a pre-maded one. Once this template is loaded into the Project you can edit it to customize the Project depending on the needs of the analysis.
