Video Format Guidelines

Adhering to consistent encoding settings keeps uploads fast and analytics accurate. These guidelines balance quality with file size so clubs of any size can participate.

Recommended Settings

• Container: MP4
• Codec: H.264 (High profile)
• Resolution: 1920×1080 (accepts 720p–4K)
• Frame Rate: Constant 30 fps (25 fps for European leagues)
• Bitrate: 10–16 Mbps for full matches; 6–8 Mbps for highlights
• Audio: AAC 128 kbps stereo (optional but helpful for sideline context)

Preparing Files

• Trim halftime breaks or dead time to reduce size before uploading.
• Normalize audio levels to avoid clipping when players watch with headphones.
• If filming with multiple cameras, keep timestamps aligned by starting recordings simultaneously.

Testing Quality

• Use the preview player to confirm playback smoothness before sharing widely.
• If proxies look blurry, double-check your source bitrate and ensure scaling is set to “Fit” in the player.

Following these specs ensures AI tagging stays in sync and output reports look sharp on any device.
