Web-Based Video Library

All your videos can be uploaded, managed, and reviewed from anywhere in the Internet.  A Library Management function provides the ability to search and list any or all videos in your library.  From there you can upload, edit, tag, markup, and delete video files from the library.

Access to the video library, their tags, markup, and commentary is available anywhere in the web so coaches, staff, administrators, and athletes can view them at their convenience.  Access is restricted by logon and password to keep your information private.

Video Tagging & Messaging

On the right of the screen you will see Tagging screen. Tags that have been created for this game and their respective position in the video.  Clicking on a tag will play the video from that position.  Selected tags are highlighted so it's easy to see which tag is currently playing and color coded to quickly identify offense, defense, special teams, etc. Tagging is simple to learn and can be done from anywhere there is a network connection, creating a completely new range of possibilities for who can mark videos.

On the left of the sample screen you will see all team member names or player categories with check boxes.  You can send any number of tags to any number of people by checking the checkbox adjacent to the player's name and tag.  You also have the choice of selecting Player Categories or individuals from your address book.

Markup & Audio Commentary

The image to the right is a sample of the Audio Recorder and Graphic Mark-Up function.

On the left of this screen you will see the various graphical shapes and colors that you can choose to edit your video.  Typically, you will play the video while providing audio commentary, pausing the video and marking it up to highlight certain plays or events, and resuming play to watch the outcome.

If you are interested in editing part of a video, existing tags can be displayed by clicking the Tag button above the graphic selection table.  Clicking on a tag will take you directly to that section of the video for markup and commentary.

Multiple commentaries can be applied to a single video.  While not shown in this example, a list of all existing commentaries would be listed on the right side of the screen.

Highlight Video & Heading Creation

Since personnel tags can be added to uploaded videos during the tagging process, it's easy to search for specific people, select the clips you want for highlight footage, and create a single video containing all those clips.  Go2Tape can also create a title video from your information.

• Make Highlights for yourself, others, game scenarios
  • Best Plays, best achievements
  • All red zone plays, 3rd Downs, etc.
  • Any combination of plays, events, players, actions
• Multiple Highlight videos for same person
• Highlight video link can be e-mailed to family, friends, recruiters
  • Eliminate clumsy VCR tapes
  • Highlights easily updated with latest clips 
• Create professional looking title videos
  • Pick from a library of professional videos 
  • Use your own video as an introduction
  • Choose background, text, and highlight colors
  • Automatically overlay text, names, dates

Targeted Messaging

Once tags, markup, and audio commentary have been added to a video, selected segments can be sent to any number of people:

• Player Categories (groups of common interest)
• Selected Team Members
• Individuals in Your Address Book

Upon receiving such a message, the recipient can click a link to see a single play or click the Play All button to see all the links sent to them.  An example of such a message is displayed on the right.

Targeted messaging means that you can have your players look at only those plays that you especially want them to see without having to view plays of no interest.

Video Search

Once videos are tagged and stored in the web based video library, you can search by any criteria that is associated with the file.  There are two different types of properties that can be used in the search:

1. Video File Properties
2. Tagging/Comment Properties

While the video properties are the same for all video files, each sport has it's own set of tagging properties that are unique to that sport.

The search forms are built so you can create an unlimited number of search criteria, for each of the two properties, if you so desire.

The sample to the right of this text illustrates the entry of the different selection criteria for a Soccer video.

Go2Tape provides coaches and staff with access to the GotSport.net athlete database.  With such, recruits can be searched, identified, or created so their progress can be monitored and their attributes ranked on a set of categories, customized to your team's interest.
