Creating manual highlight clips lets you tag the moments in your Spiideo Play broadcast that matter most to you. The highlights can be created during an ongoing broadcast or after it has finished.

You can use the highlights in a few different ways. In this article, we'll cover how to use your highlights to:

Build a highlight reel: collect and edit one or more clips into a reel that you can download and share outside of Spiideo.
Analyze your performance: import the broadcast to a Perform account for deeper review. Any highlight clips created during the broadcast will appear as tags in your imported Spiideo Perform recording.

Highlights can also be used to trigger sport-specific lower left graphics and Instant Replay, which you can read more about in the corresponding articles.

Create Highlights During a Broadcast

Before you start creating highlights during a broadcast, we recommend that you set up teams & players.

When the broadcast begins, open CloudStudio and watch along as the game unfolds. When a moment happens worthy of a highlight, you can create your highlight using the tag panel.

The tag panel, which is used for creating the highlight clips, will vary depending on the sport you are broadcasting.

Baseball, basketball, floorball, futsal, handball, and soccer all have sport-specific tag panels, which you can learn more about here.
All other sports will only have the tag labelled 'Other'.

As soon as you create a highlight, a highlight reel will automatically be created. Any other highlights created during the same broadcast will be added to the same reel.

To create a highlight clip:

Click on the tag or the corresponding shortcut on your keyboard.
Select the team you wish to connect to the tag.*
Select the player you wish to connect to the tag.*

* If applicable

Customize the Highlight Clip Pre- and Post-roll

Depending on the sport you are broadcasting, the default pre- and post-roll your highlights will vary. These can be customized in CloudStudio if you have scheduled a broadcast with Instant Replay enabled.

To adjust the pre- and post-roll:

In the 'Replays' section, click 'Default In/Out Settings for [sport]. On the left, you'll see the tag you're adjusting the pre- and post-roll for, and on the right, you'll be able to adjust the pre- and post-roll.
Click the '+' icon to add seconds to the pre-/post-roll.
Click the '-' icon to remove seconds from the pre-/post-roll.

Locate Your Highlight Reel

Once you've tagged all the moments you need, you can head into Highlight Studio to view, edit, or download your reel.

The same option is available from CloudStudio On Site.

You can also use the 'Highlight Reels' tab located at the top of the left-side menu.

Click 'Highlight Reels' and click the reel you want to open.

Another option is opening it from the game page.

On the game page, click 'Go to highlight reel' to open the reel.

The final option is opening it via the broadcasts overview.

On the broadcasts overview, click 'Highlight reel' located in the top right of the broadcast tile.

Create a Highlight Reel After a Broadcast

If you have not created any tags during a broadcast, you'll need to manually create both the tags and the highlight reel.

Start off by locating the broadcast and click 'Highlight reel' in the top right of the broadcast tile.

To continue:

Click 'Create your own Highlight Reel'
Click 'Create'.
Click 'X' in the top right.
Click 'Open'.

Once you've created and opened the empty highlight reel, it's time to add highlights to it. Highlights created manually will by default be 12 seconds long, with a 6 second long post- and preroll but this can be adjusted in Highlight Studio.

To add new highlights:

Click '+ Add'.
Click on the timeline below the video player, and when you see a highlight you want to add, click 'Add highlight'.
