Edit Clips

Edit clips with clip length and drawings

Clips can be customized directly within playlists to better match the context of an action. This includes adjusting clip length, adding visual annotations, and preparing clips for sharing or export.

Preparing clips for editing

Before clips can be edited, they must first be added to a playlist.

Clips can be added from:

  • Event Viewer

  • Sequences

  • Passing Network

  • Runs & Sprints (when tracking data is available)

For detailed steps on creating playlists, adding clips and downloading clips refer to:

Opening the clip editor

  1. Navigate to Playlists.

  2. Select a playlist containing clips.

  3. Click on a clip to open the video view.

  4. Select the edit (pen) icon below the video.

The clip editor opens, providing access to clip trimming and annotation tools.

Adjusting clip length

Clip length can be adjusted using the trimming feature.

  1. In the editor, select the scissors icon.

  2. A red selection bar appears on the timeline.

  3. Adjust the clip by:

    • Drag the start and end handles of the red bar

    • Or enter specific time values in the start and end fields

      • Use negative values (e.g. “-5”) to include time before the event

Please note that the maximum clip length is 35 seconds.

Working with annotations and drawings

The editor includes several tools to visually enhance clips.

Available tools on the left side:

  1. Select & move
    ​    Move and adjust existing drawings

  2. Arrow
    ​    Draw directional arrows on the pitch

  3. Spotlight
    ​    Highlight a specific area while dimming the rest of the clip

  4. God ray effect
    ​    Emphasize a player or area with a light beam effect

  5. Add text
    ​    Insert custom text into the clip

Managing drawings

Each drawing appears in a timeline below the video, where you can adjust its timing by resizing its duration.

When selecting a drawing:

  • Modify color, intensity, and timing at the top left of the clip

  • Copy or delete using the top-right controls

  • Exit selection using the close (X) icon

Saving changes

While editing, the clip is automatically saved as a draft version.

Available actions:

  1. Undo or redo changes using the arrow icons

  2. Reset the clip to its original state

  3. Select Save & Publish to apply changes to the playlist

After saving:

  • Changes are visible in the playlist

  • Shared playlists include all edits among all users

  • Exported clips (MP4) include annotations and adjusted length

Clip status while editing

While editing, the clip shows different visual indicators that reflect its current status.

  • Orange pen icon: indicates that the clip has unsaved edits (draft state)

  • Blue circular arrows icon: indicates that the clip is rendering after saving

  • Green pen icon: confirms that the clip has been successfully rendered and saved

Rendering starts after selecting Save & Publish. Once rendering is complete:

  • The updated version replaces the original clip in the playlist

  • All annotations and trimming are applied

It is not required to wait for rendering to complete before continuing work. Editing can continue on other clips while a clip is rendering in the background.

Leaving the editor

To exit the editor, click the close (X) icon in the top-left corner. If there are unsaved changes, a prompt appears with three options:

  • Cancel: remain in the editor

  • Leave: exit without saving

  • Save & leave: save changes and return to the playlist
