Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing an instructional video from a videotape of a golfer swinging a golf club. A computer still picture output section converts the video into still pictures, which are output onto a display. A correction picture output section generates video images of a desired swing motion corresponding to each of the still images. The still pictures of a golfer being analyzed are overlaid over the corrected images, which include lines depicting proper form. Additional visual and audio information can be added, and the result is recorded onto another videotape.
