Working with Your Video

The Hudl Exchange feature cannot be used to exchange with teams that are not in Hudl.

Our recommendation: continue exchanging with the non-Hudl teams the way you do now - DVD, external hard drive, some other exchange service - you will still come out way ahead because Hudl can load, cut, and distribute the video much faster than whatever they have.

The work-around: You can use Hudl’s recruiting features to send video to a non-Hudl team. This will allow you to send video to a coach as though they were a recruiter. We don’t recommend or officially support this work-around for a couple reasons:

1. The opposing team is going to get your video immediately, but you will have to wait to get video from them, as they don’t have a Hudl account.
2. When you share the video to them as a recruiter, they will be able to see basic data (down, distance, ODK, run/pass, yard line, gain/loss) on each clip. You can’t turn that ability off when using the recruiting tools, only during a legitimate exchange with another Hudl team.

Yes, the Hudl Video Editor can automatically intercut multiple angles of your film together. Hudl isn’t limited to just two angles. You can either add the second angle after the game is over and match it up then or you can capture both angles live during the game if you are able to connect both cameras to your laptop. If you video a wide, tight, and end zone or want to match up a close-up angle from the sideline, Hudl can handle that, too.

In most cases, Hudl can actually import your video and data from your current system into Hudl, giving you all the benefits of Hudl with your old game film. So, instead of losing your work, you have the power of Hudl for your previous seasons’ video without any extra work.

A football or basketball game typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours to completely publish to Hudl.com.

Hudl publishes each clip individually so within 30 seconds or so, you can watch the first play online. Within about 20 minutes, most of the first quarter will be available.

You don’t have to wait for the full game to finish to start working with your video and sharing it with the team on Hudl.com. The publishing process runs completely on its own. While your video is publishing, you can walk away, grab a bite to eat or go to sleep. When you come back, your game will be ready for you (and anyone else you shared it with) online at Hudl.com.

Once you have captured your video, the Hudl Video Editor has a one-click publishing process that uploads your video to Hudl.com for you. You can walk away while Hudl Video Editor does its thing. You can also stop the publishing process at any point if you need to take your computer home and it will pick back up right where you left off.

In most cases, Hudl can import projects from your current editing system so you can use the power of Hudl with all of your old video and data. Currently, Hudl can import video and data from DSV, APEX, Game Plan/Coach Comm, Webb Electronics, and LRS.

If you use a system other than those listed or need help with the process in general, contact us and we’ll help you figure out a solution.

Yes, any coach on the roster can edit the breakdown data associated with the clips. In fact, multiple coaches can edit breakdown data on Hudl.com simultaneously from their own personal computers, meaning you can breakdown games faster than ever before.

To learn how to edit your breakdown data in Hudl.com, see the Editing breakdown data tutorial.

Through Hudl Video Editor, you capture video from your DVDs, tapes, or camera. That part doesn’t require an internet connection and can be done live during the game. When you’re done capturing, you will need to connect to the internet and press Publish and the video moves from your laptop or computer to our secure video servers.You can also stop the publishing process at any point if you need to take your computer home and it will pick back up right where you left off.

Once that’s done, your video is accessible from any computer with an internet connection.

Every Hudl coach can install the Hudl Video Editor software on as many computers as they like.
