General Pricing - Recruiting Tapes

If you need arrows identifying the athlete on every play in the video, the cost depends on how many arrows are needed: 

$200 for 20 or less arrows                                                  $10 for each additional play over 20                                  

If you do not need arrows to identify the athlete (such as a goalie, quarterback, libero, etc) then take $50 off the above price.

A complete softball/baseball recruiting tape with a full day of filming a skills video is $300 for one person, $250 each for 2 people, $200 each for 3 people, $175 each for 4 people and $150 each for 5 or more people.

All recruiting tapes include a custom introduction, complete with photo(s) and text, along with any type of music you would like (if any). We also give you the highlight film file so you can have it, along with a link to the video on our YouTube channel so you can email it to coaches. We also index the video in google search engines with important tags and keywords to make it searchable. We do all this at no extra cost.

TO GET STARTED

STEP 1. Send us the video footage

If the files are on your computer, click the following link, put in your email address, drag all your files onto the page, and hit the transfer button:

https://highlightfilm.wetransfer.com/

- If the files are on your phone, click the above link, then click on “send a file”. Then hit the blue + , choose your files on the phone, hit the next button, enter your email address, then hit the “transfer” button.

- If your files are on google drive or another online service, simply share the folder to our email: recruitingtape@gmail.com

- If you do not have the files, and they are located online, we can download them from anywhere. We charge $5 per file, and after they are downloaded, we send them to you for keeping. Simply send us the link to the video by clicking the share button, and pasting that into an email to us. If there is no share button, simply send us the URL of the video, along with the title. If a username/password is required to view the video, we will need that as well in order to download it.

STEP 2. Time Codes

If you have already picked out the starting and ending time codes for each good play you want to use in the highlight video, send it along to us and we can get started.

If you have not done that yet, we will place a timecode overlay on top of your footage, and send it back in a private YouTube link so you can review it and pick out the time codes.

You can fill in the worksheet and email it back to us, or take a photo of it with your phone and email/text the photo to us.

Most videos have around 30 plays, on average. You can have as many as you want, but it should be short, and to the point, showing the skills and athleticism of the athlete, without being too long for the scouts to watch.

When picking out the time codes, it may be hard to remember all the good plays you picked out, especially if you are reviewing multiple game films, and multiple seasons. We can cut up all the good plays you pick, and put them all together into one video with a timecode overlay – then you can review and remove some of them after seeing them all next to each other. This process can be repeated until only the best plays are left.

We will cut up to 40 plays at no charge, but each play over 40 is an additional $5 charge.

STEP 3. Intro Text/Photo

Send us a photo to use for the intro screen page, along with the text you want.

The text usually includes: Name, Jersey Number, Position(s), School, Graduation Year, Club Team, Awards, Accomplishments and Contact Information.

STEP 4.

Once we get your time codes, we build the highlight film, complete with arrows to highlight the athlete, an introduction, and anything you would like to add, all within 48 hours. We then email it to you for review.

If it looks perfect, we finalize and upload the video. If you want changes, we implement the changes and send it back for approval.

Once approved, we send you a link to your final film so it can be emailed to any coach/family member in the world. We also send you the highlight film file so you can have it. We also publish the video on our YouTube channel so it can be searched by coaches (or we can keep it private if you wish).

Notes, Tips, Hints

Get a Domain Name

If you need to make a change to a video that is already published, you must use a new hyperlink. YouTube does not allow you to upload a new video and keep the same link – so if you already emailed coaches the link to the video, you will need to resend them a new link, if you make a change to that video.

One way to get around that, is to have your own domain name, and point that to the newest video.

A domain name cost less than $10 a year for a .com ($9.13/year to be exact at porkbun.com). Get a domain name that has the athletes name and sport in it. For example, I compete in Masters Track and Field, so I would register PatrickTolandWeightThrow.com. I would then connect it to a video of me on the USATF page: https://www.usatf.tv/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=45365&do=videos&video_id=138997

I do that by logging into Porkbun, go to my domain, and edit the url forwarding. So now, if I want to share my video with someone, I tell them to go to PatrickTolandWeightThrow.com instead of the long web address listed above.

The added benefit is that you can keep updating the domain name to point to the newest and latest video, without having to resend a new link to coaches.

Capitalization

Capitalization does not matter in an email or web address. Do not use all lowercase letters and make it harder for a coach to read the name! In my example above, PatrickTolandWeightThrow.com and patricktolandweightthrow.com both go to the same place. Which one do you think is easier to read and remember? The same applies to email addresses.
