Video Sharing

I saw a post a few months back where someone uploaded a video of their game for all to view. Which websites are great for sharing full game videos and allow you to upload your entire game video and send the link to share with your team/ families?

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
 
Yes. That was also my concern. Uploading such a large file to YouTube may be problematic. Not sure if there are better options out there. I think I have seen others on this forum sharing videos of their games using other services besides YouTube.
 
One parent uses Amazon Cloud Drive. I don't know the specifics as far as file size etc., but something you could look into. Good luck.
 
I've watched 90 minute 720P soccer videos on Youtube. Best option. Many TV's can watch youtube thus making it a great place for friends and family to watch.
 
Now - YouTube is better because it does 60fps. I do not think Vimeo does.

These were the primary recruiting videos - 10th grade
Real short -

Tournaments:

This was a work ethic/fitness. The trainer's picture is on the wall of the UNC coaches wall. Easy UNC in.

At the time DD played very high (popular now) but I had to edit a lot out as coaches didn't like that. After her freshman year - it didn't matter.

You are welcome. You'll be sorry you said that. I guess the difference between the poor person that sits next to me on the airplane and the SoCal soccer forums is - SoCal soccer folks can just skip them.
Some asked about Vimeo.
I did/do have several channels. I typically just uploaded whole games https://vimeo.com/channels/scblues/page:2 At the time the quality was better the YouTube. I don't think it is now.

I did more cycling on Vimeo as there is no ball zipping by and a slower frame rate worked. Also these were not for coaches, so I did less edits and longer video.

Lately I just use YouTube again and then attach links to YouTube from Facebook. Not trying to get anyone recruited, just showing off - and some people like cycling.

Our team(s) used shutterfly and I'd upload all the game videos there. Parents could view in HD and download; some even used the downloaded videos to create their own individual highlight vids....but...shutterfly stop their video sharing this summer so I switch to YouTube. Here is my dd recent highlight video, she's 11 yrs old - '04:

IMO if sharing with people that know your kid - 2 min video is best. If their kid is in it - 3-4 min. If it has them in it 10 min.
If it is for a coach you have about 5 sec courtesy watch. Mind is made 15 sec and if they watch over 1 min - you are golden.

What we did is post the same video under a different name for each school. We sent each school a unique link. We could then see views - how often, repeats etc. that gave us a bunch of info on their interest.

I was so excited to show highlights I forgot what you asked. I posted whole games here https://vimeo.com/channels/scblues/page:2 along with some highlights. That will take a Vimeo account $/month to upload this size. When it comes to whole games the super Hi-Res and 60fps (Frames per Second) is just too big. Typically these are 720p 30fps - lower def, Hi def.

So Vimeo seemed best and people can download video.

YouTube - I hit why I like it in other posts. Free, 60fps - but no easy download. As these whole game are not requiring 60fps - I went Vimeo.
 
Haha! Well I appreciate all the info and learning more about Highlight videos and the tips on sharing them. I was trying to avoid the fees for larger files (full games) on Vimeo but it may be worth it to pay and get better quality and ability to download.
 
our team uploads game videos to a Dropbox site. We pay for the $99 a year account to store them. Parents then create a free drop box account and they have a password access to watch, share with family or download. Our coach holds quarterly video nights where the girls can see and really learn about their positioning and options. They can also easily view the videos without downloading on their phones. Great shares in this thread - thanks.

I loaded an 8GB 1080p to YouTube last week. That requires a double upgrade to do at Vimeo. Most don't want to see 1 hour videos, but if you are doing whole games in HD and 60fps, YouTube may be a better choice. As mentioned before, for frame rate and cost.

Enough with the slowmo already. Painful to watch.

I find slo mo important to see if a kid made a play with intent or pure reflex and instinct. In the case of Mya above it allows you too see how she doesn't make a play on the ball until after it's kicked. This means she is allowing the ball to dictate her actions and still has the reflexes and skills to make the blocks. Her eyes are up and on the ball at all times.
