My athlete is young if I make a highlight video now – Do I have to create a new one later?

No. At Next Level Video we store all reels in our databases so down the line its a much simpler and cost-effective process to update a video with more current footage rather than have to keep creating an entirely new reel each year.

Why do I need a highlight video?

There are so many athletes trying to compete at the next level of competition. Highlight videos help put a face to the name when reaching out to coaches. Coaches can’t physically make it out to see everyone play, so this is the best way to get their attention. Every reel is custom built to the strengths of every athletes game play to best showcase YOUR skills. This allows coaches to quickly and easily see how you would fit into their program.

If I have my own footage, can you edit that?

Absolutely, in fact we encourage it. Whether you purchased footage from us, other companies, or shot it yourself – it can be inserted into your highlight reel. A sports highlight recruiting reel is a compilation of your BEST stuff. You want to showcase your skills against varied competition.

Our graphic locators, enhancement visual effects, color correction techniques, custom slates, and workflow speak for themselves. Not to mention, we do all the work!

Do coaches have to log in to view what I send them?

No! Yes we all know logging in is a quick 5 second process, but remembering usernames and passwords for dozens of webpages is a pain in the neck. Something so simple as logging in becomes a daunting task! We make it very simple for your audience, just click the link you send them, and they get full access to your information.
