How do I convince my head coach to switch to Hudl, thats my only question. Hes kind of challenged when it comes to technology but he expects me and another guy to have everything broken down every week with this Apex program which uses voice recognition which works about 10% of the time.

Can you tag individual clips as you are inputting it, so that when you are done all the clips you tagged go to a certain area for highlight videos? Could you do this for individual players, so you can make highlight films of them to send off to colleges?

Does it matter what kind of camera you use. For instance will it be quicker or more efficient to use a minidv as opposed to a camera with a harddrive or vice versa.

Also someone said magic Hudl elves. Although I have a hard time believing in elves does Hudl have people that will go in and do some work on your film or is it some kind of program.

I noticed on the "Silver" package, they give you 10 hours of practice and scout video storage......Can you go back and delete some games and add new ones as the year goes on? (for example: I have six hours of scout video during week one....can I delete that and add the new scout footage of our opponent for week two? Or is that first six hours of video locked in?)
(hope this question makes sense...)

We haven't began using Hudl yet, we're starting this season. But I asked that same question during a demonstration tele-conference and the rep said "Yes". So we'll see, or someone more familiar can testify to it. I hope, or ten hours of practice/scout film will go in a hurry.

Real time loading. Visited with a rep back in April. He said the harddrive cameras will load faster. I've always liked the DV tapes so I can collect them and keep them. I'm leaning towards a harddrive camera and just load everything to DVD for storage. However, I just go back to previous uploaded games on hudl. Very fast. Can find exact play within seconds.

Could you do this for individual players, so you can make highlight films of them to send off to colleges? Yes and yes. Players can tag their own clips for highlight films. Very easy for recruiting. Kid makes his clips. I do a quick scan and make some changes. E-mail to any college I want. We have had very good feedback from college coaches.

Another great teaching tool with Hudl.
Make a folder for each play. Group specific plays into that folder. Demostrate proper technique for the QB (for example) for each play. Upload to HUDL. Send to every QB in your system.
They then can study since this is Internet based. Secure so only your QBs can see. You get to pick which players to give access to specific folders. Can do the same thing for DBs and different offensive formations you may face. Upload formations and put them into specific folders (trips, 22, 21, 10, veer, double wing, ... whatever you fact). Send to the entire team so they understand different formations. Great for incoming 9th grade.
We have also used it with linebacker reads. I have made videos on my Mac. Editted them (without sound). Then uploaded them for our ILBers. Tagged with the label "ILB reads".
We have also demonstrated our tackling technique (hit-up). Broken it down. Uploaded and sent to each player and parent. This is great because we have so many kids that "ankle bite" with heads down.
The possibilities are endless.

(hope this question makes sense...) Absolutely YES. You'll see that a full scout game will only take up 30-40 mins -- so that's 15-20 scout games for the Silver package. If you start running out of space, just delete an old scout game or two. Remember, if needed, you can always re-upload any deleted games too.

One of the good things about mini-dv camcorders is they use Firewire that can communicate between your camcorder and laptop. The Hudl Editor will recognize the pause/record button being hit and create the 'live' clips on your laptop and mini-dv tape simultaneously. The tape's great as an archive backup. If you have someone available, you can also add data live. We had our cameraman just enter ODK last year. This year we're going to try to have someone else add down, dist, yardline, (and possibly more) to see how it goes. BTW - We use a Sony flashdrive camcorder for endzone and scouting. We load the complete game into the Hudl Editor in less than 5 minutes -- But live capturing is the best IMO. Like everything with Hudl, it's extremely simple.

Does the yearly fee allow you to use that for other sports within the same year of the subscription?? So if our AD purchased it for us to use with football, could basketball also use it as long as we stay within our hourly film limits?

Sorry...I found my info in the pricing section of the HUDL website. The answer was yes...for a slight adjustment of the Silver Package price $1200 for 2-teams, $1600 for all teams.

Technically I guess you could upload film and just store it and watch it - but you can't have your roster, schedule, highlights, breakdown tabs, etc... specific to basketball. You will want all of those features. Talk to Hudl - they will probably make you a deal if several sports sign up.

The second sport get a subscription for half price - $400 for Silver or $700 for Gold. Keep in mind each sport includes the boys and girls teams at all levels. If you get a 3rd sport interested, you get a full site license for your whole school. Every sport, at every level gets a Hudl subscription for only $1,600 for the Silver package, or $2,800 for the Gold. Our AD (who's also the soccer coach) was so impressed, he bought the full site license -- now our Gridiron club doesn't have to pay anything. Maybe get a couple of other sports interested and approach your AD? You may want to also explain the highlight/recruiting feature too. Many AD's love giving their student athletes a competitive edge in recruiting. It's great PR for the school's administration.

How is it with loading game films off of DVD's? That is the media form our Section uses when exchanging films. I know that it will be a Real-Time upload of the game, but as long as I can use that format...I don't really care about the time as it would still be faster & more efficient with the breakdown aspect.

Hudl was the 1st scouting app that has the ability to rip video directly off a DVD. It takes about 5 minutes to rip a full game. One of their best features is the auto scene detection. After it's done ripping the video, it'll scan the game video and cut it up into individual play clips. This feature alone save us about 30-40 minutes per scout DVD. None of their competitors have this awesome feature.

Hes kind of challenged when it comes to technology but he expects me and another guy to have everything broken down every week with this Apex program which uses voice recognition which works about 10% of the time. Order the free 30 day trial. Then, have a meeting with your coach and show him all of the things that Hudl can do for your program. That is what I did (I wrote about it in the technology forum), and now the AD wants to buy it for all of our sports.

If you need someone to discuss the switch to Hudl with your HC, PM me. We made the switch last season and can help explain all the areas where you'll save time and improve your teaching.

we have used hudl for a year now and we had a kid that wants to be around football but he doesn't want to play so he did our live capture for us he entered (dn dist pass/run odk and yd Ln for us) when we got the computer in the office after the game i was ready to start upload.
hard drive camaras are the best if your are not going to live capture.
if hudl cant do it call them and talk to them about it and you can bet they will look at it.

As a school, we are getting Hudl for all of our sports.
I"m assuming you can have each coach set up his own sport/access list, is this correct?
Also, I'm assuming that you can edit film and store it on your computer hard drive and use it offline with the Hudl system when you don't have online access, for example, in a laptop at a clinic or meeting that doesn't have internet access. Is this correct?

You'll have someone assigned to be the lead person for the Hudl system for your school. That person can add as many teams, for as many sports as you'd like. Each individual team will then have an administrator who will add the players and coaches for their team. That's right. You can use the Hudl Editor offline when you don't have internet access. In addition, if you purchase the Gold package you can also create 'presentations' that can be used on or offline. This method gives you access to all the advanced online features like walkthroughs, telestrations and notes, while you're offline.

I've been talking to the APEX people for a while. Can anyone tell me how hudl and apex compare? One of the things I really like about apex is the scouting reports it generates. It seemed like I would save a lot of time compared to computing tendencies by hand. How does hudl compare in it's scouting/tendencies reporting?
Thanks

Coaches, We have someone contracted to Film and Copy OUR games and get DVDs to all coaches. Part of the deal is he makes copies for players ($10 per game) and he generally does highlight films if players want them. So with his work, our film is all on DVD. If we were to get serious about hudl, would his services be needed?

Thanks There's a reason you'll see coaches selling their old software in the Classified area since Hudl came out last year. coachhuey.com/index.cgi?board=classifieds&action=display&thread=39319We think the Hudl reports are much more concise and streamlined. Here's a link to their 5 standard offensive reports - coachhuey.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=39701&page=1#387833Many of us tried the 30 day free trial of Hudl and saw how powerful and intuative a scouting app can be... for a fraction of the cost. Check out the cost comparison -

We just signed up last week. Been playing around...hit a few problem areas...support was UNBELIEVABLE and efficient. Literally fixed the problem right in front of me with a remote link, and finished it without me being there since I had to go. Left me a nice Word Doc. note about what happened and how it was fixed...A+ on that part.
Video editing and scouting reports are awesome...I'm actually having trouble narrowing down because it is possible to get so much information out of the video by customizing it.
Short of it...INCREDIBLE
