Every coach and analyst faces the same problem: too much time spent tagging and cutting video, and not enough time actually helping players improve. Metrica Nexus is the sports video analysis software built to flip that ratio: capture, code, track, telestrate and present, all inside one platform, on Windows or Mac, with no extra hardware required.

Watch the 2-minute overview to see the full workflow in action:

What is Metrica Nexus?

Metrica Nexus is the all-in-one performance analysis tool for professional analysts, coaches and elite teams. It brings the entire process, from live match capture right through to delivering feedback to players into a single environment, so your video, your events and your visuals never leave one connected workflow. It sits alongside Metrica PlayBase, the entry-level option for amateur and semi-professional teams, meaning any organization can grow into the same ecosystem no matter its budget.

Over 1,000 teams, across 100+ countries, with more than 25,000 users already rely on Metrica tools, from first teams and academies to scouting and recruitment departments, federations, universities and TV networks.

One platform, the entire analysis workflow

The idea behind Nexus is simple: less tagging, more analysis. Instead of stitching together a coding tool, a tracking provider, an editor and a presentation app, you do everything in one place, and everything stays connected.

Capture and code every match: live or post-match

Create custom tagging panels to collect events exactly the way your team thinks about the game. With Coding Sequences and the visual Coding Pad, you can build custom buttons and tags, use keyboard shortcuts, import templates and tag live during the game or post-match. You can also import and export XML files, so Nexus fits neatly into your existing workflow and data provider.

Live streaming and multi-device analysis

Nexus supports live streaming to multiple mobile devices, keeping your analysts and technical coaching staff in constant communication. With Nexus Mobile (available on iOS and Android), staff can see the live feed from the bench, review key moments and give players real-time feedback, analysis that travels with your team to training, the tunnel or the touchline.

Find any moment across games with Nexus Explorer

Use the Nexus Explorer for true multi-game analysis. Instantly filter thousands of events across your entire database to find the clips you need, for example, every ball-receiving action from a specific player across six matches and turn them into playlists in seconds.

Industry-leading telestration and automatic tracking

Metrica's AI-powered tracking is among the fastest and most accurate on the market, and it powers advanced, TV-quality telestration with unrivaled player and field tracking. Choose the tracking mode that fits the job:

• Full Clip Tracking: track the entire field and every player with a single click for instant tactical visuals.

• Automatic Tracking: select only the players you need in two clicks and let the AI do the rest.

• Manual Tracking: full control when you want it.

Data-enriched visualizations that tell the story

Go beyond drawings with data-enriched visualizations such as pitch control, team size and field radars: plus offside lines, tactical zones and tactical boards to tell the story of your performance in a way players immediately understand.

Present live with the Showcase Panel

Turn your clips into clean, focused presentations with the Showcase Panel. Highlight key moments, control playback smoothly and deliver your ideas in a meeting or on the pitch. In live presentation mode, the coach can even pause the video and draw on it in real time during the session.

Automatic Smart Tagging in the cloud

Through Metrica's account and GameCloud, fully automated Smart Tagging detects tactical patterns across the phases of the game, build-up, progression, transitions, set pieces and more, saving you hours of manual tagging on every match.

Built for every level of the game

Metrica Nexus is deliberately flexible, because "performance analysis" means something different depending on where you sit.

• Coaches and video analysts get a faster path from footage to professional-level presentations.

• Clubs and academies get one consistent toolset across first teams, youth and recruitment.

• Federations and national teams get a scalable standard for analysis across programs.

• Universities get an accessible, elite-grade platform for teaching and competing.

• Scouting departments and TV networks get quick access to the exact clips and visuals they need.

Because the technology interprets data from any type of video, the same workflow applies whether you're breaking down football or another team sport.
