Logger Pro<\/em> includes tools for performing frame-by-frame video analysis. It runs only on macOS and Windows. Logger Pro<\/em> is a legacy app that will not be updated<\/a>. It will remain available for download and for purchase. <\/p>\n

A new software title, Vernier Video Analysis<\/a>, has replaced Logger Pro<\/em> for the purpose of performing video analysis. Vernier Video Analysis includes the core video analysis features of Logger Pro<\/em>, and also offers many additional features. Vernier Video Analysis is a progressive web app (PWA) that runs in Safari, Chrome and Firefox browsers. As a result it can be run on more platforms, including iOS and iPadOS, ChromeOS, and Android, in addition to macOS and Windows. <\/p>\n
