Learn with Essentials

ProAnalyst® is a powerful analysis software package that can turn any video camera into a non-contact measurement device. Now, for the first time, the fundamentals of this technology are available for free with ProAnalyst Essentials. Learn how to modify and configure the state-of-the-art adaptive feature tracking algorithm found in the new ProAnalyst 2023.

Dive deep into the motion analysis process, from Image Processing, to Feature Tracking, to Data Reduction and export. Essentials is the perfect introduction to the world of video-based motion analysis.

Educate with Essentials

ProAnalyst Essentials provides science educators with a powerful teaching aide to help bridge the gap between theory and application in their lessons.

Want to create an easy and interactive physics demo? Start by recording motion with any video camera - even those found in smartphones. Then, track object positions, compute useful quantities like acceleration and angular velocity, and then plot those quantities against time to compare motion data against theory, all in Essentials!
