Introducing: Clean Playlist Sync between Sportscode and Hudl

Sharing video playlists should support high-performance workflows, not slow them down with exports, duplicate files, and version confusion.

With the latest update to the Sportscode Hudl integration, teams can now sync playlists cleanly between Hudl Sportscode and Hudl, keeping their work intact across the entire workflow. This update is designed for elite environments where speed, clarity, and reliability matter most.

The problem with traditional playlist sharing

In many teams, playlist sharing still relies on exporting files and passing them between staff via USB drives, hard drives, or third-party tools. That approach creates friction:

• Multiple versions of the same playlist circulating across staff
• Re-exporting after every change
• Drawings baked permanently into video, impossible to edit without starting over
• Time lost rebuilding work instead of preparing sessions or matches

For teams operating in a high performance workflow, these inefficiencies quickly compound.

A cleaner way to manage video playlists

This update introduces a more reliable playlist sync between Hudl Sportscode and Hudl, shifting the workflow from exporting files to sharing updates.

Instead of sending copies of playlists, teams can now sync their video playlists while keeping key details intact across the round trip.

What’s included in this update:

1) Video playlists that arrive exactly as you built them

Playlists synced between Hudl Sportscode and Hudl preserve key details end-to-end. This reduces rework and helps teams move faster when sharing analysis internally.

2) Drawings that stay editable

Annotations and drawings are no longer permanently baked into the video. They remain editable after syncing, allowing analysts and coaches to refine playlists without starting over.

3) Playlist sync built for real workflows

Hudl Sportscode continues to support offline work. Analysts can work locally, then sync playlists to Hudl when ready. Updates are shared without relying on file transfers or duplicate exports.

As part of this workflow, playlists are reviewed in the updated Hudl interface. This doesn’t change how playlists are created in Hudl Sportscode, but provides a more consistent review experience in Hudl while keeping playlists and drawings intact. Step-by-step tutorials are available here to help teams get familiar with the updated interface.

Designed for high performance environments

Elite teams operate across travel, tight timelines, and distributed staff. This update supports that reality by:

• Reducing manual playlist sharing
• Minimizing rework across staff
• Supporting offline work alongside cloud sync
• Keeping video playlists consistent across tools

The result is a cleaner Sportscode Hudl integration that fits naturally into existing workflows.

Clean playlist sync between Sportscode and Hudl is now available for Hudl Sportscode users.
