Everything You Need to Know about the Hudl Pro Suite Updates From new Hudl Sportscode features to key updates to the Hudl library, league exchanges and Wyscout, let’s get you up-to-date with the details. One of the highlights of Hudl Presents: Performance Analysis 2021 was Lead Product Manager for Match Analysis Paul Arnott revealing the latest exciting updates to the Hudl Pro Suite. These updates are designed to further enhance your elite match analysis workflows, while also presenting our future plans for the connected platform.
HUDL PRO SUITE How to Download Video and Data from League Exchange in Hudl Sportscode Download Video Packages Users familiar with Hudl Pro Suite will be aware that you can access video and data from your Hudl team library directly from Hudl Sportscode. Now, this option is also available for league exchanges, streamlining your analysis workflow and improving speed to access access your all-important league video and data. For leagues with multiple angles of video available, you’ll be able to see all angles right away in Hudl Sportscode.
Start Analysis While Video Is Downloading When opening a video package in Hudl Sportscode, you now have the ability to start coding, labeling clips and creating playlists while the video is still downloading, making your analysis workflow considerably faster. And, as the timeline data for the whole game is downloaded first, output reports will immediately show data from the whole game.
Access Multiple Leagues Finally, for those who have access to more than one league—whether it’s women’s and men’s leagues, domestic and international leagues, or two different youth leagues— you can now access all of them from within Hudl Sportscode. We’re also working on a future enhancement that’s going to allow you to automate this process. You’ll be able to set a trigger that causes games to automatically download to your desktop as soon as they become available. Stay tuned for more information. For leagues with multiple angles of video available, in future, you’ll be able to select which angles you want to utilise right away in Hudl Sportscode.
Use Mentions to Communicate Our goal is to provide acces to our large global database of video and data, both from Wyscout and Hudl, within the interface in Hudl Sportscode.
Get Hudl Sportscode XMLs from Wyscout This is our first step toward integrating Wyscout, Sportscode and Hudl. You’ll now be able to download an advanced Sportscode XML directly from Wyscout, with the ability to configure how it appears in your timeline. Within Wyscout, you can click “Download XML” for a specific game. The new window allows you to choose whether you
Hudl users can now tag an athlete, any team member or any group of team members when they’re adding a comment. By using the “@” character, you’ll get a filtered list of who you can tag. When you submit the comment, it automatically notifies everyone who’s tagged by sending them an email. And it adds the clip to that person’s (or that group’s) library as well.

It will also work for the chart visualization feature previously mentioned, allowing you to generate a chart and visualize data in that chart across multiple games. This feature significantly improves the quality of your analysis, allowing you to spend less time building databases and combining timelines, and more time searching and reporting across multiple games.
