Intercutting Video can make your film sessions more efficient and effective!

SkyEye Sports is here to assist you as a coach in multiple ways. Our video software looks to offer many conveniences, one of which is the ability to easily intercut game film! Do you have two camera angles that you use regularly? Intercutting allows you to easily put these two angles together on the same game tape for easy study. And as always, the service is FREE!

All you do is:

1. Upload your game films by clicking “Upload Film” on the Secured page.
2. You have two ways to upload film, online through the site or through our desktop application that can be downloaded from the site. Note: When uploading through the site and not the desktop app, your file formats must be .MP4 or .WMV; the desktop app (RUNWAY) allows more file types to be uploaded and also compresses the video size to save your video space.
3. Uploading...
Uploading through the site: Just click “Upload Film” on the right hand side of the page. On the upload page you may now select the files you wish to upload and click upload! This allows you to separately upload your films or upload them all at once. Then after uploading save the name of the folder, date recorded, what kind of film, and the angle of the tape and click Save!
Uploading through the desktop app (RUNWAY): After downloading the RUNWAY, open and run the program. You will see on the left side three options: Import File, Import DVD, and Download File From Site. Use one of the Import options (if already saved on the computer, use Import File; if on a DVD, use Import DVD) and select your files. This allows you to separately upload your films or upload them all at once. Then after you have selected your files, click “Upload To Site” in the top right corner of the RUNWAY program and save the name of the folder, date recorded, what kind of film, and the angle of the tape and click Upload!

4. Click the “Intercut Video” button that is beside the “Upload Film” button.
5. After you click “Intercut Video” you will be asked to select the folders of film you want to use and intercut. For example if you upload the two angels in two different folders, select those two folders and you will be directed to the Intercutting Page to put them side by side.
5. If the cameramen did a good job with the sync then the film should be ready to go, just click “Save.” You’ll know you are ready to save if you have the same number of plays for each video.
6. If your cameraman missed an angle or clip, you can simply add a “filler” to take the space of the missing clip, the video will then continue to run the rest of the game tape with no issue.
7. After your video is synced up, just click “Save” and you will then be asked to categorize the film as Game, Practice, or Opponent and then asked to name the folder. And you’re done!

A Few Tips!

  • Have your cameramen use a defined schedule on when to start and stop filming. For example, start running the game film when players break the huddle and stop when the referee is handed the ball after every play. This means not having to use fillers when intercutting and makes for effortless film creation.

  • Saving two angles of a single game in separate folders makes intercutting much easier! If your angles are in different folders when selecting which films to put together you can simply pick those folders and the software will do the rest!

  • Teach your managers and cameramen how to use the site and what it can do, OR WE CAN! We offer live demo sessions weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST.

  • Players can also put highlight clips from the team page on their page, so editing your film with SkyEye also gives depth and exposure to your player’s profile pages! All for Free!
