FieldVision Highlight Videos: The Best Format for College Coaches and Scouts
By Inkbound 6 min read
FieldVision highlight videos are built for recruiting: fast intros, clear identification, and a structure coaches can evaluate quickly across any sport.
When coaches open a highlight link, they decide quickly whether to keep watching.
That is why FieldVision highlight videos use a specific structure designed for evaluation.
The FieldVision structure
A strong recruiting video usually looks like:
- first 20 seconds: best plays
- clear identification: jersey number and position
- context: show the beginning of plays
- balance: offense and defense
- short: 3 to 5 minutes
Why this works across all sports
Different sports evaluate different skills, but coaches always want:
- clarity
- fast access
- repeatable examples
FieldVision Studio helps athletes produce a clean recruiting format for:
- soccer
- basketball
- football
- baseball
- volleyball
- lacrosse
- field hockey
What to avoid
Avoid:
- huge intros
- long music montages
- random clip order
- blurry exports
