We are a month into the 2010 clinic season and we’ve already met with hundreds of coaches across the country - time flies when you’re on the road!

If you haven’t yet, come meet us at a clinic where we can show you Hudl in action. Also, rumor has it there’s some free Hudl swag for the taking!

The month of December has been a busy one here at the Agile office. Between Christmas, New Years and scooping ourselves out of the 10 feet of snow that landed here in good ole’ Nebraska, we forgot to let you know who has joined us!

Hudl Gold Package Now Even More Affordable

Posted January 21, 2010 by Kim Burnham
Under  • Business

We lowered the price of our Gold package from $1,600 to $1,400. Why? Coaches love the additional features and storage space, but found it difficult to justify the old price to those that held the school’s purse strings. So, we made it more affordable.

We get quite a few questions from coaches asking about the differences between the packages and tips for which package they should choose.

Things Coaches Hate: Paying Hundreds of Dollars for Remotes

Posted January 14, 2010 by Matt Mueller

We spend a lot of time talking with coaches about things that we could improve with their coaching lives. One of the things we heard over and over was that the remotes used to control video right now are too expensive (meaning it is a luxury to have one or two) and they break easily (meaning even if you were fortunate enough to have one, you no longer do). It didn’t make sense to us that after you spent thousands of dollars on an editing system that you also had to spend hundreds on each remote to control it, so when we created Hudl, not only did we want to make sure we designed a cost effective video editing solution, but we made sure that we found a remote that was both affordable and reliable.

This lead us to integrate with the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller. Xbox 360 controller had a lot of benefits over other remotes: you could use the wireless version, it integrated easily with Internet Explorer, it only cost $50, and if you threw it across the room chances are it would still work. Further, since you can get an Xbox 360 controller from any number of places, you didn’t have to worry about us needlessly marking up hardware just to make a quick buck at your expense. Who knows - you might already even have one in your house!

But just like every other area of Hudl, we didn’t just stop once we found something that worked. In an upcoming release, we have a new remote called the Smart Pointer that is cheaper and will work on any computer (Mac or PC) in any browser without the need to do install Hudl’s advanced features!

Now that high school and college football season has wound down, it’s time for clinic season to ramp up. For all of our coaches preparing to speak at clinics across the country, Hudl can save you some serious time and help you put together a presentation that will blow away your audience.

We just released the ability to download your presentations so you can easily give them with or without an internet connection. And, we just added the ability to use Hudl with the Smart-Pointer remote ($39 on Amazon.com), so now you can use an Xbox 360 controller or the Smart-Pointer to walk your audience through your slides and video.

Hopefully this post will give you some useful pointers on how to make a sweet clinic presentation in Hudl - a process that will be a lot easier than trying to create and present with a DVD or PowerPoint.
