New Feature: Gamebreaker Edit List Import!

Posted on by

We think the HomeField online editor is the easiest way to break down your game film, but we know many of you like using GameBreaker from your desktop. That’s why we’ve built a new feature, that allows you to import your GameBreaker edit lists, so you can take all the edits you’ve made in GameBreaker and share them with your team on HomeField.
Here’s how:
1. Upload your film to HomeField as usual.
2. Open your edited timeline in GameBreaker and then export your Edit List by going to:
File > Export > XML edit list…
Be sure to note where you’ll save the file to, and click save.
3. In HomeField, open the video that you uploaded in step 1 and click “Import Gamebreaker Editor Tracks” – located just above the editor for the video.
4. Click Choose File and select the XML file you just exported, then hit Upload and Import.
Your Gamebreaker timelines and clips will appear as normal HomeField editor tracks, so that you can go ahead and share them with your team.
This feature is already live in your account. If you like using Gamebreaker, give it a shot and let us know what you think!
P.S. – Also new in HomeField, is a quick link to maximize your browser’s real estate for the HomeField Editor. You’ll find the link right next to “Import Gamebreaker Editor Tracks.”
Click it, and HomeField will hide your comment stream so you can focus on editing your film.

Slow Moving Monday?

There’s no doubt, HomeField has hit the ground running this fall.  That means lots of video coming at us AND, unfortunately, that means growing pains.

Today was one of our biggest days ever in terms of videos uploaded to HomeField.

Consequently, some of you may have experienced a ‘slow day’ on HomeField, in either upload speeds or processing speeds and for that, please accept our sincerest apologies.

We’ve taken a look at our infrastructure and are making the necessary upgrades to maintain the speed you expect when using HomeField.

A huge thank you to the coaches who notified us and if any of you continue to notice issues, please contact us immediately at help@teamhomefield.com.

HF updates: Replay/Jump Forward, Show/Hide Archive, Browser Detector and New Prices for Parents!

Since we launched HF3.0 a little over a month ago, we’ve been working hard to keep the improvements coming.  We recently updated HomeField with a bunch of great little tweaks, but I wanted to highlight a few major ones here…

Replay/Jump Forward

Lots of you have asked for rewind and fast forward controls, so we’ve built a quick, simple solution that we’re already getting lots of great feedback for.  Simply tap the “<” to go backward 10 seconds or “>” to go forward 10 seconds.  Note: You don’t have to hit “Shift.”  It’s the same as hitting “,” or “.”

Check out the video below to see it in action…

Show/Hide Archive

We know you’ve got a ton of video, so we want to help make it easy to find what you’re looking for.

That’s why you’ll now see a check box for “Show Archived Video” in HomeField.  If left unchecked, HomeField will hide all of your Archived Video so it’s easier to find your Active stuff.  If you’ve got a lot of video archived, you’ll love it.

Browser Detector

We don’t want to be browser snobs, but we do want you to have the best experience possible on HomeField… that’s why we’ve built in a browser detector (seriously, your browser matters more than you think).

When you log into HomeField, we’ll automatically detect what browser and what version you’re running and if it’s not up to date and/or the latest and greatest, we’ll give you a friendly reminder to update your browser.  Really, we only do it because we care about you.  ;)

New  Prices for Parents

We know that mom and dad want access to all the highlights – but they shouldn’t have to film the games themselves, especially when you coaches are already filming.  And you don’t have time to make DVD’s for every parent who wants one… So why not share the love with the parents who support your squad via HomeField?

We’ve switched our fan subscription pricing to “month-to month” (with no minimum commitment).  So parents and fans can now get access to game film provided by you through HomeField for just $24.99/month.  It’s no replacement for seeing the game live, but it’s a great way to catch all the moments you missed and the ones you want to see again and again.

So what are you waiting for, Coach?  Go invite your fans today!
