RUNWAY Updates

Here at SkyEye Sports we are always seeking to make what you do easier. Just wanted to update everyone on the newest update to RUNWAY, our desktop application. Now after you import your film to RUNWAY, whether it be from camera, DVD, your computer or a flash drive, uploading your film to your secured page on the site is easier and faster than before. Now instead of transcoding all of your film first and then uploading the clips to the site, everything is done simultaneously. This will save you time and allow your film to be ready faster on the website so you can start tagging, cutting and trading your film right away.

Gameday Reminders

Make sure you have the current Silverlight installed. You can download the most up to date one here at http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight   

Some schools have streaming video blocked. If you are trying to watch game film from school, make sure this isn't the case. If your film is uploaded, it means it CAN be played. Our system will not accept any film it cannot play. If you are getting a black box where the video should be, this means it might be getting blocked. 

Make sure firewalls and antivirus software are letting SkyEye stream video. Some software requires you to click "Allow" before it will play the video.

Download RUNWAY from your secured page.

New Features on SkyEye Sports

Coaches,

As you all get back into school mode and prepare for the upcoming season of games, we wanted to take some time to tell you about some of the new features with your video here at SkyEye Sports.Our goal is to advance our software to make film editing even easier for you. Check out some of our new features below:

Continuous Play Button
Now in the tagging area within you secure page, you can choose whether to repeat each play/clip or to have it run continuously. This gives you the option to watch the entire game in order or to have each play repeat until you click on the next play. This option can be used by simply checking the box or unchecking the box beside the "repeat play" text. 
 

Playlist Button and Play Selection Bar
Now when watching your game film in both regular or full screen mode, you can pull up your playlist. This allows for you as the user the ability to go to different plays by simply clicking on the play preview icon at the bottom. This eliminates the aspect of having to exit full screen mode and then choose your next play to watch. This feature works hand in hand with the "repeat play" feature discussed above.

Coming Soon to SkyEye Sports......
We have been listening to coach feedback and will soon release a new feature on the RUNWAY Desktop Application. Soon you will experience even faster upload speeds as the transcoding and uploading process will improve dramatically. 

 

Coaches,

August 1^st has arrived! Practice has begun for many of you and in just a few weeks from tomorrow night the football season will be kicked off. ARE YOU READY? IS YOUR FILM IN ORDER? There is so much that goes into game planning and film is a major part of this. You have your profile on SkyEye Sports but there are some particulars to check up on before the season officially begins. Read below to make sure you are up to date with your Computer and Mobile Devices both at school and at home.

Do You Have RUNWAY Downloaded to Your Computer?

If you have your SkyEye Sports account created, the next step is to download RUNWAY to your computer. RUNWAY is the Desktop Application that is to be used when Importing Film, Cutting Film, Creating Highlight Tapes and Uploading Film from RUNWAY to your School, Team and Player Profile Pages. Without utilizing RUNWAY, you will waste a lot of time with your film. Stay ahead of your opponents by letting RUNWAY cut your film for you and have it ready to tag on the website.

Do you Have Silverlight Downloaded to your Mac or Tablet Device?

If you are using a Mac / Apple Computer you will have to have Silverlight downloaded in order to watch film through the website. You can update your profiles without Silverlight but it is best to have Silverlight to get the full flow of the website setup of SkyEye Sports. SkyEye Sports does not currently run on iPad but does run on any tablet or mobile device that has Silverlight capabilities.

Do you players have accounts created?

Your players need to be linked to your school and team pages so their film can be on their individual pages. Build your roster for your different sports on your school and team pages and then once your film is uploaded your players can pull clips down to their profile pages. These links can then be shared through Email, Facebook or Twitter for everyone to see.

These are just a few things to check up on before the season starts. Also, read the previous blog entry below to get information on what else to check up on to make sure you are ready to go in a couple weeks.
