Vimasu Studio · For coaches
You already do the film session. Start charging for it.
The four minutes you spend in the car park explaining a moment to a parent is the most valuable coaching you do all week, and it is the only part nobody pays for. Mark it up on footage the club already has, publish the session at your own price, and take it from your kitchen table — invoiced where the club already invoices.

How coaches earn with Studio
Vimasu Studio lets a coach charge for the film work they already do for free. A coach marks up footage the club already has, publishes a 1:1 or small-group video session at their own price, and takes it from anywhere in a browser — the family joins from a link with nothing to install. The session invoices on the club's existing billing rail rather than through Venmo or cash at the field, so the club shares in the work instead of it happening on the side. Booking and lessons are currently in beta.
The hours you already work
None of this is extra work. It is the same work, paid.
The car-park explanation
You have already watched the game. You already know the two moments that decide whether this player gets better this month. Right now that lands as four minutes of talking beside a car with a parent half-listening, and it is worth more than that to both of you.
The clips you cut anyway
Half the coaches reading this already trim moments on their phone and send them over WhatsApp. That is the product, minus the payment, minus the record, and minus any way for the family to find it again in March.
The private session you turned down
Families ask. Most coaches say no, because arranging it means a schedule, a price conversation, chasing an e-transfer, and a club that would rather it went through the books. Every one of those is a form of friction, and friction is why the hour never gets sold.
Work it out yourself
Two evenings a week is a car payment.
Pick the rate you would actually charge and the number of sessions you would actually run. We are not going to tell you what coaches make, because we do not have a number we could defend — and on this page, of all pages, a made-up average would be the dishonest thing to publish.

Arithmetic, not a forecast. This multiplies the two numbers you picked. It is not an average, a projection, or anything anyone earned — we publish no coach-earnings figure, because we have none we could stand behind. Your club sets what it keeps, and the rate you can charge is a question about your market and your credentials, not about this software.
How the money moves
Four steps, and none of them is an e-transfer.
01
Publish the session at your price
You set the rate and the length — thirty minutes of 1:1 film review, an hour with a pair, a small group before a tournament. Your club sees it; the families on your teams see it. Nobody negotiates in a group chat.
02
Take it from wherever you are
The film room runs in a browser. The player taps a link in a text message and is in the room — no app, no account, no meeting ID — and you draw on the same frame they are watching while you talk. A coach can run a session from a kitchen table between jobs.
03
Get paid on the club’s rail
It invoices where dues already invoice — card payment to the club's own account, no Venmo screenshot, no envelope, no chasing. The club takes its share by agreement rather than by discovering the arrangement later, which is the reason this can be encouraged rather than tolerated.
04
The work stays worth something
Every clip attaches to that player’s development record beside their evaluations, so the session is still there next season — proof for the family, context for the next coach, and evidence for you when a parent asks what has changed since September.

Before you count on it
What this is not.
This is not passive income
You are selling hours, and hours have a ceiling. What changes is the rate you can charge for them and how little of your evening is spent arranging them — not the number of hours in a week.
Your club decides the split
Vimasu does not set what the club keeps. That is a conversation with your director, and it should happen before you publish your first session rather than after somebody notices the money.
Booking is in beta
Publishing sessions, taking bookings and invoicing them is live but young. Studio itself is switched on club by club during the rollout. If your club is not on it yet, that is the first thing to ask for — not something you can turn on alone.
You need footage, not a camera
Studio starts with film the club already has: a Veo match link, a YouTube link, or a clip from a phone. If nobody films anything at your club, this is a conversation about filming before it is a conversation about earning.
Coach questions
Straight answers.
How do coaches make money with video analysis?
Vimasu Studio lets a coach charge for the film work they already do for free. A coach marks up footage the club already has, publishes a 1:1 or small-group video session at their own price, and takes it from anywhere in a browser — the family joins from a link with nothing to install. The session invoices on the club's existing billing rail rather than through Venmo or cash at the field, so the club shares in the work instead of it happening on the side. Booking and lessons are currently in beta.
What can I charge for a 1:1 film session?
You set the price — Vimasu does not cap it or suggest it. Rates track what private coaching costs in your area and what your credentials support, and a film session is usually priced near a field session because it takes the same hour of your attention. We publish no average, because we have no number we could defend and this is a bad page to guess on.
Do I need my own business, or a Stripe account?
No. The session invoices through the club’s existing payment setup, the same rail dues run on, so there is no separate merchant account to open and no second app for the family. What the club keeps is set by your agreement with them.
Does the family need to install anything?
No. They tap a link from a text message and the film room opens in their browser — no app, no account, no meeting ID. That matters more than it sounds: an install is where a booked session quietly becomes a no-show.
What footage do I need?
Whatever the club already has. Paste a Veo match link and it resolves to the seekable file without anyone exporting a 3 GB render; a YouTube link works; so does a clip filmed on a phone. There is no camera to buy and nothing to upload.
Can I do this with players who are not on my team?
That is your club’s call, not a technical one. Studio works within the club’s roster and its safeguarding rules, which is the point — a coach freelancing with other people’s players through a side channel is exactly the arrangement this is meant to replace.
Is it available on my plan today?
Studio is part of the Vimasu club subscription — there is no separate video product to buy — and it is being switched on club by club during the rollout. Booking and lessons are in beta. Ask your director to have it enabled, or send us the club's name and we will.
The next match is already filmed.
Mark one moment this week and send it. The first paid session tends to be the family who asks what that clip was about.
