Because the Hudl Video Editor requires Microsoft’s .NET 3.5 framework, it does not natively work on a Mac. That said, you can use BootCamp to install Windows on your machine and then install the Video Editor. This will allow you to capture and publish from a Mac (through Windows).
The good news about Hudl is that once you publish your video to Hudl.com, you can do everything else from a Mac. So you really only need one computer with Windows to publish your film and once it is online you can tag breakdown data, make cutups, share, and take advantage of everything else Hudl has to offer.
The Hudl Video Editor can run on nearly any Windows machine, although the following list includes our suggested minimum requirements:
If you are using a Mac, you’ll need an Intel-based processor (new Macs within the last 3 years should have this) and will need to use a program called BootCamp (which is free) to install and run Windows on your Mac. The Windows license is not free, but your school may have one you can use. Once you publish the video to Hudl.com, you can use any computer (Mac or PC) and get the full Hudl experience.
There may be other requirements depending on your method of capture. For instance, if you wish to capture from a DVD, you will need a DVD drive on your computer.
If you wish to capture from a MiniDV camera, you will need a Firewire port built in or an external card.
No, the Hudl Video Editor comes at no additional cost, and can be downloaded and installed by any coach on as many computers as you need.
