Make it obvious. Draw it.
Draw over any video or your camera, pause where it matters and record what you mean, right on your iPad.
MAKING VIDEOS
Tutorials, reviews and walkthroughs, with your drawings and your voice together. No editing.
COACHING
Break down match footage and share it with the team. Put it on the TV at training, at half-time or in the team meeting, and show the whole squad what happened, and what should have.
TEACHING
Walk through a diagram, a worked example or an experiment, step by step.
NEW: THE SOCCER TOOLKIT
Made with coaches, from professional clubs to youth and grassroots teams.
• Tap a player to number them. Press play and the number follows them.
• Drag out the space a player is running into.
• Link two defenders with a line that tracks them as the play continues.
• Arrows for passes, runs and the path of the ball.

TAKE PEOPLE THROUGH A VIDEO
Load any video from your library, play or pause, and scrub to the perfect moment. Then just start drawing. Or switch to your iPad's camera, or a USB camera, and draw over it live.
Record your drawings and your voice as a finished video, or as a transparent drawing layer to put over your own footage.
DRAWING TOOLS CURATED FOR VIDEO
Every tool is chosen to stand out clearly on top of moving pictures. Set up your favourite pens and colours so they're always one tap away. Every line responds to Apple Pencil's tilt and pressure.
ACTION REPLAY
Pause and rewind any live camera: your iPad's own camera, a USB camera or an NDI feed. Jog the Shuttle Wheel back to the moment and draw on it frame by frame, while the live feed keeps playing picture-in-picture. Save the best moments as clips.
LIVE TITLES
Draw a line, say what you want it to say, and your text appears, sized to fit your line.
ON THE BIG SCREEN
Put your iPad on a TV or projector with Apple TV, AirPlay or an HDMI adapter. The big screen shows only the footage and your drawings; the toolbar stays on your iPad.
YOUR OWN BRANDING
Make it look like your club, school or business on every screen.
DRAW LIVE IN YOUR CALLS AND STREAMS
Video Pencil connects to your Mac or PC for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, Ecamm Live and mimoLive. With CueCam Presenter on your Mac, you draw on your iPad and everyone sees it over you, live. Video Pencil also connects over HDMI, AirPlay and USB, and sends and receives NDI, including a transparent NDI feed for Ecamm Live, OBS, mimoLive or your switcher.
PART OF THE CUECAM SUITE
Video Pencil works on its own, and pairs with CueCam Presenter for Mac and Shoot for iOS. A CueCam subscription includes Video Pencil's core features.

“Best app out there for film day for coaching that isn't $600. Love it!” Coachfro25
“I cannot emphasise how amazing this app is. It's one that I use every day on my tutorials, client calls, and live streams.” Neil Farrimond, Creator Café
“This has been my favorite tool (besides ecamm of course) of 2026! Proudly endorsed by the ecamm team!” Jill, Ecamm Facebook Community
“I use Video Pencil connected via HDMI to a TV in the classroom for live game film review and I use the recording feature to create clips for the team or specific players. I could not do what I do without Video Pencil.” Echevarria Family

A good app that allows you to import a video from Photos or Files and then draw on it. However the video progress bar up top is not good for longer videos and you can only jump back by 5 seconds. If the way you scan though a video can be fixed (like a wheel with a speed setting like other telestrator apps) then it would be 5 stars, however $40 is still rather expensive for the basic functionality it has. Overall would recommend
Completely Changed My Coaching
Echevarria Family
I have been coaching youth soccer for 15+ years and have found that video is one of the best tools in my coaching toolkit. I have used a few different apps on my iPad, but Video Pencil is that app that I have needed to teach most effectively. I use Video Pencil connected via HDMI to a TV in the classroom for live game film review and I use the recording feature to create clips for the team or specific players. Players love getting this type of teaching and feedback and the parents always give lots of compliments. I could not do what I do without Video Pencil.
Have Telestrator, Will Travel
BeGroovee
I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve had with this app and using it to diagram out sports plays, put online courses together with a more “human” touch, and go all-out telestrator mode live via Ecamm. This app is one of the best values out there and the customer service and response time is fantastic. Highly recommend for all educators and sports fans.
Coaches Dream
CoachAHardy
This is a Coach Dream, me being able to hook up the iPad to a TV is a game changer. Slow-mo or fast-forward and the ability to write and talk text is awesome while showing film. Thank you. I can't wait for more and better updates
