Uploading Footage

There are two ways to get your footage into Framesports:

​
Option 1: Manual Uploads

You upload a link to your footage or a video file, enter details like your teams and player names, and start the analysis.
  1. Go to Sessions in the left-hand menu and press New Session.
  2. Where it asks Where is your footage?, paste a link to your footage. We recognise the source from the link (Veo, YouTube, Hudl, Google Drive, Vimeo, Dropbox and the others listed under We support footage from). To upload a video file from your device instead, press Upload from your computer instead. There is no set file size limit; keep the tab open until the upload finishes. If your internet drops for a moment, the upload carries on by itself; if it stops, press Retry and it continues from where it stopped.
  3. Press Next and fill in the session details (teams, date, player names).
  4. Press Start analysis at the end.
Every link has to open without signing in (see Footage Requirements for each platform). For private Hudl videos, use Hudl’s Email Download Link option and paste that link, or connect your Hudl account under Settings → Automatic Uploads. You enter your Hudl email and password, and we use them to add our import account to your Hudl team. A standard private hudl.com/watch/... page link can’t be downloaded on its own.

​
Uploading a Session Filmed in Parts

If your session was filmed in two halves or split across several files, don’t start a separate analysis for each part. Join them yourself in the upload wizard: on How many videos do you have for this game?, choose More than one video, then on Why is there more than one video?, choose One camera, filmed in parts. Add your first part, press Add another part for each remaining file, in order, then continue to Check your footage. A part can be a link or a file from your computer, in any combination, up to four parts. Framesports joins them into one continuous video before analysis, so you only analyse (and pay for) one match. Automatic Uploads skip a video that holds only part of a match, so halves always come in this way. The same questions appear when you add footage to a session you set up before the match, so you can add the halves there too. If one recording holds several matches, see Footage Requirements.

​
Option 2: Automatic Uploads

Framesports automatically detects new footage from your connected video source (e.g. Veo), matches it to your team based on filter rules you set up, and submits it for analysis without any manual steps.
  1. Go to Settings → Automatic Uploads and connect your video source.
  2. Create filter rules that describe your team (name, gender, age group, side).
  3. Framesports checks for new footage and automatically analyses anything that matches your rules. Press Refresh on your Sessions page to make us check now. See How often do we check your source?
For how we decide which footage is analysed and what happens to the rest, see Automatic uploads. For YouTube, sign in with your channel and keep your games unlisted: see YouTube automatic uploads. For Veo or Hudl, enter your club’s Veo or Hudl email and password on Settings → Automatic Uploads, not your Framesports ones, and press Grant Access. We sign in with your login, and then use it to add our import account to your teams ourselves. You do not need to invite anyone. Your games keep importing if either your login or our import account stops working. For Vimeo, paste the link to your club’s Vimeo profile, or to one showcase, when you connect it. We read that page the way a visitor does, so every video must be set so anyone can watch it, and a showcase must not have a password. New videos you publish there are picked up automatically. A single video link imports just that video.

​
Supported Platforms

Framesports integrates with several video platforms so you can easily get your footage into the system for analysis. This means you don’t have to upload large video files manually, just paste a link. It also allows us to integrate directly with your video source for automatic uploads. We currently support the following platforms:
  • Veo
  • Hudl
  • YouTube
  • Vimeo
  • Google Drive
  • Staydia
  • DoubleTake (Australian users only)
  • Broadercaster (NSW Rugby TV and other union sites)
If your footage lives somewhere not listed here, you don’t need to email support: go to Settings → Automatic Uploads (or External Footage Sources) and choose Another platform from the list of sources. Give us the link to the site your games are on, and optionally notes about where they sit and sign-in details (not required). Your request reaches our team straight away, and Settings shows that we’re building the connection rather than saying no footage was found. Your footage starts importing automatically once it’s ready.

​
Automatic Uploads

Framesports links to your footage source and pulls new recordings as they appear. It then matches each recording against the filter rules you’ve set up to decide whether it should be uploaded for analysis or ignored. Only footage meeting your exact rules is analysed.

​
Wrong Footage Uploaded Automatically

If automatic uploads analysed a game you did not want, get your credits back yourself from the session page: open the session, press the three dots (⋮) at the top right, choose Problem with this session, then I did not want this analysed, and follow the steps. The session is deleted and the credits come straight back. See Get your credits back for when you can do this and how to stop it happening again.

​
Automatic Teamsheet Detection

Framesports can pull your teamsheet from Rugby Xplorer when the session is linked to its Rugby Xplorer fixture: answer Yes, this game is on Rugby Xplorer in the upload wizard, or use Import from Rugby Xplorer on the session’s Players tab. Other sources, including England Rugby, are not read automatically; the link you give us helps us find your teamsheet. If no teamsheet comes through, add it yourself while the session is processing or after the analysis is ready: open the session, go to Settings, open the Players tab and enter or upload the names. Your players still receive post-match clips if you do this. Tell us where your team sheets are published: go to Settings → Automatic uploads, find Team sheet source, and click Change. Pick from Instagram, England Rugby, Rugby Xplorer, Pitchero, Facebook or Custom website, then paste the link to that page. Only account admins can set this. Choosing Rugby Xplorer switches on Import from Rugby Xplorer and the wizard’s Rugby Xplorer step for your account; teams in Australia, New Zealand and the United States keep the Rugby Xplorer import whichever source they pick.

​
Automatic Upload Speed

We check your connected source for new videos on a schedule (see How often do we check your source?), and you can press Refresh on your Sessions page to make us check now. Each video on your Sessions page has a label that says where it is, and you can open any of them and press Download and analyse instead of waiting. See When will my game be uploaded? for the full timeline and what each label means.

​
Pausing Automatic Uploads

Go to Settings → Automatic Uploads and pause automatic uploads. You can pause for a set time or until you resume, and resume whenever you want. If you would rather approve each game than stop altogether, choose Ask every time instead.

New footage can take up to 12 hours to be automatically uploaded, but is normally much faster. You’ll be notified via WhatsApp and email when a session matching your rules begins analysing, and again once the analysis is complete.
If your footage hasn’t been automatically uploaded yet, you can check on its progress:
  1. Go to the Automatic Uploads tab in Settings.
  2. Under Connected Sources, click Manage next to the source. Only account admins can manage a connected source, so if you are a coach and Manage is not there, ask an admin.
  3. Look at the list of footage to see the current state of its upload.
  4. If you have the link or the file and want it analysed sooner, tell us through Contact us in the app. Uploading it yourself as well can get the same match analysed twice.
Go to Settings → Automatic Uploads and pause automatic uploads. You can pause for a set time or until you resume, and resume whenever you want. If you would rather approve each game than stop altogether, choose Ask every time instead.
