SIDELINE DIRECTOR

For Mac

Broadcast graphics for your football videos.

The match you filmed from the touchline is a long video with no score, no clock and no quick way to find the goals. Sideline Director adds the score, the match clock and a graphic for every goal, card and substitution. Share the full match, or just the highlights.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store Free to download. Pro is a one-time purchase.

How it works

  1. Add your clips

    Bring in the videos from your phone or camera. All the clips from a match become one video.

  2. Add the goals and cards

    Watch the match back and add each goal, card and substitution. The score and the clock keep up by themselves.

  3. Export and share

    Export the full match or a highlights video with the graphics in place, ready to share.

Scorebug and clock

A scorebug that follows the match

The scorebug, the score and clock in the corner of the screen, is right at every moment of the video, because it comes from the goals and periods you add. Correct a goal later and the whole video updates.

  • Halves, thirds or quarters, with extra time and penalty shootouts.
  • Works even when your footage starts after kick-off.
  • Three ready-made layouts, or design your own in your teams’ colours and crests.

Match events

A graphic for every goal, card and substitution

Each moment you add appears on screen as it happens, with the names of the players involved.

  • Goal celebrations in four styles, and a badge for a hat-trick.
  • A list of the goal scorers, with the minute of every goal.
  • Substitutions, yellow and red cards, and a penalty shootout display.

Quick to use

Add a goal in seconds

Fast-forward through the quiet spells, then add each goal, card or substitution with a few keystrokes.

  • Each goal updates the score, the goal graphic, the scorers list and the highlights at once.
  • Note the scorer, the assist and how each goal was scored.

Teams and title cards

Teams, line-ups and title cards

Set up each team once, with its crest, kits and players, and use it in every match you film.

  • Title cards to introduce the match and both line-ups, with player photos.
  • Save the line-up card as an image to share before the video.
  • Keep your look from match to match with presets.

Highlights

Highlights without any editing

Every goal, red card and penalty you add becomes a highlight. Export them as one highlights video.

  • Add the near misses and great saves too.
  • Make a highlights video for a single player.

Questions

Does it find the goals automatically?

No. You add each goal, card and substitution as you watch, which takes a few seconds each. That’s why it works with any video filmed on a phone, and why your video never has to be uploaded anywhere.

Which videos can I use?

Video from an iPhone or any other camera, in a format your Mac plays, such as MOV or MP4.

My recording starts after kick-off. Does that matter?

No. Set the score and the match clock at the start of your footage, or at any point in it, and the scorebug carries on from there.

Can I change the graphics after adding the goals and cards?

Yes. Change the style, the colours or the events at any time and export again.

Is it only for football?

For now, yes. Sideline Director supports football (soccer), and we plan to add more sports in the future.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 15 Sequoia or later.

How much does it cost?

Sideline Director is free to download from the Mac App Store. Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription.
