It’s important to show coaches that you have multiple skills, whether its playing multiple positions, playing O and D, or kicking and long snapping. Once you’re out of the frame for good, give it about one additional second and then end the clip, and on to the next.īottom line: try to keep the tape around 4 minutes, less than 5 and more than 3 minutes. Look to trim time by cutting the lead-in time before the snap down to about 1 second, and don’t waste time letting the camera follow the ball all the way to the endzone. If you want to be recruited, try to make your film a bit more concise and don’t add bad plays just to add length. Unfortunately, that’s what I see more often than not. Simply put, you can’t have a bunch of crappy plays on a long tape. There needs to be a positive correlation between the quality of your tape and the length of your tape. If you rated anything at or below a 5, consider scrapping it if you can afford to cut some time off of the tape.
Once done, go through and pull your very best plays into the front of the highlights.
#How to delete highlights on hudl app movie#
This is why movie trailers place the explosions and speeding cars at the beginning of the preview- even though that scene is from the end of the movie.ĭo this: Take a piece of paper, go through your highlights one by one and rate them on a scale of 1-10, on how good you think that highlight is. You probably have about a minute to "woo" the viewer into being a believer. I don’t have a scientific statistic on this, but I think it's conservative to say the average viewer of your highlight tape turns it off before the halfway mark, if not earlier. Many guys probably do this because they just put the plays in by order in which they happened during the season, and don’t pay any thought to the order of the plays. This is the second most obvious problem I see when evaluating OL/DL Hudl tape I will get about halfway through their film and then, 16 plays in- Boom! An earth shattering, violent long drive block with a pancake- their single biggest and best play on the tape. Also, tighten it down- you don’t want the arrow or circle highlighting the 3 people next to you as well as yourself. Tip- don’t be afraid to use the arrow as well when it does a better job of getting you identified. This way, the coach will see your work from start to finish and will be able to evaluate both your footwork AND finish. It's a huge waste of time and the easiest way to get your film turned off after one snap.ĭo this: Aim to highlight yourself as early in the play as possible, ideally before the snap takes place. Coach will have to rewind (which is not easy to do on the Hudl video player) and find you pre-snap. There's nothing worse than watching an entire play just to find the player highlighted at the end, right when he’s about to make his contact. If you pay attention to college coaches on Twitter, you will see that this is a pet peeve of many.
This is A-number-one, without a doubt the biggest problem found within any OL/DL Highlight film you watch.
While you can’t fix bad film, having a poorly made highlight reel can ruin your chances of ever getting the rest of your film seen in the first place.ĭo yourself a favor and commit a couple hours to fixing up your highlights- follow the tips below to give yourself the best chance! Your highlights are meant to work as a "preview" for your game film and entice coaches to look further at your tape. Your film is your Résumé, and it's the single biggest tool that college coaches will use to evaluate you.
