Hudl Mercury is a tool for coaches and team administrators to use to upload video to Hudl.com.

The instructions in this tutorial are for publishing film with a PC or Windows computer. Click here to see how you can publish your film to Hudl.com using Mercury for Mac.

First, download and install Hudl Mercury. You can download Mercury by clicking the blue download button on the Overview page when you are logged into your account.
Note: Only coaches will have access to Hudl Mercury. 

You will then be prompted to choose between Hudl Mercury and Hudl Video Editor. Youth coaches will only have access to Hudl Mercury.

Second, upon opening Mercury, you will be asked to choose the source the video is coming from. After choosing the source, Mercury will take it from there.

DVD:

Hudl Mercury can rip and cut your DVD in one click. If you have a DVD that’s been exchanged to you by another team, you’ll want to check out this tutorial.
Note: Scene detection cannot be turned off in Mercury.

Hard Drive Camera or External Storage Device
See Load from File in Hudl Mercury

Each time you start and stop recording, a hard drive camera creates a separate video file and Hudl allows you to directly import these files. So when your game is over, your video is already cut and ready to publish.

Media Files
See Load from File in Hudl Mercury

If you have video saved on your computer, drag and drop the files from a folder or click Add to search for them.

Finally, once your video has loaded, you can review, edit, and publish your film.

Merging and splitting clips is complete in no time, especially when Mercury tells you which clips need attention right off the bat. After that, just send your video off to the right place on Hudl.com.
