Coaches and athletes can build personalized highlight reels directly from game film—using built-in editing features to showcase key moments and share with family, friends, and recruiters.
Add clips to a highlight while you review film. You can add clips to an existing highlight or start a new one.
While in your library, select the video you want to use for highlights.
From the List tab, click the plus icon next to the clip you want to add to a highlight.
Ensure you're in the Highlights tab in the pop-up.
Select the existing highlight you want to add the clip to, or click Create Highlight to start a new highlight with this clip.
If you’re creating a new highlight, enter a title and click the checkmark to save it.
Pro Tip: Use filters when creating position- or skill-specific highlights (for example, attacking highlights). Filtering by action allows you to quickly add clips from the filtered results to build a focused, polished highlight.
Highlights are how you turn game film into something you can share. A highlight is a reel of your best moments, built from clips in your team’s video library. You can add visuals like transition slides and logos, then export it as a video to send to family, friends and recruiters.
Click the Highlights tab, then click Create Highlight.
Choose how to start:
Start from scratch gives you a blank highlight and full control over every clip. It’s a good fit when you want a specific mix of plays.
Templates pick your best clips and organize them for you, so you get a head start. Use one if you want a fast first draft that you can edit afterward.
Give your highlight a title and click Save. Choose something you’ll recognize later, like “Outside Hitter Season Highlights.”
Click Add Videos, choose the game(s) you want clips from, and click Select. You can pull from more than one game, so a highlight can cover a full season.
Click Add next to each clip you want to include. Use the filters to find specific plays quickly, like every attack or every serve.
Polish it up. Click Add Visuals for transition slides, logo overlays, and more. To change a clip, use the pencil icon to edit it or the trash icon to remove it.
Click Export, choose whether to keep the sound on, and click Export Video.
Once the highlight has been exported, you can download it, share it externally or export it as a vertical highlight. You can also come back to the Highlights tab later to keep adding clips.
Choose a template in step 2 and Hudl will build the highlight for you. After you select your video(s), choose the player(s) to feature and click Create Highlight. Then name it, make any edits, and export as usual.
Want to build a highlight on an athlete's behalf? Start the same way, with one extra step.
Click the Highlights tab.
Use the drop-down at the top of the page to find the athlete. You can scroll the list or type their name in the search bar.
Select the athlete. You'll now be viewing their highlights, and you can create a new one or edit an existing one for them. From here, follow the steps above.
Note: While you're viewing as an athlete, you'll only see the video available to that athlete, not every video available to you as a Team Admin or Coach.
Highlight videos are one of the most important tools in the recruiting process. A strong highlight reel helps coaches quickly evaluate your skills, role fit, and overall impact. Use the tips below to make sure your film stands out.
Lead With Your “Wow” Moments
You have 30–60 seconds to grab a coach’s attention, so make them count. Skip the slow build and place your strongest clips at the very beginning to spark interest and keep them watching.
Prioritize Position-Specific Skills
Coaches want to quickly see how you perform in your primary role. Lead with the skills that matter most for your position. For example, outside hitters should feature hitting first, followed by passing. Avoid opening with secondary skills like serving.
Focus on Quality Over Quantity
A short, high-impact video is more powerful than a long one filled with average plays. Aim for about 60 seconds of elite-level performance. If a clip doesn’t reflect your best, leave it out.
