Experience more control over your video with the ability to zoom in on the action.
We know coaches and analysts want the ability to zoom in when reviewing footage, which is why we’ve been testing a new feature to pan and zoom in the Hudl video player. And on 6 Sept. 2023, we released this functionality for all our users. Now you can zoom in on the perfect angle of your video to hone in on the small things, like hand placement or footwork.
How Pan and Zoom Works
Pan and zoom is already accessible from the Hudl video player on your account. Once you’ve selected the video you’d like to review, simply use the scroll wheel on your computer mouse or the pinch gesture on your computer trackpad to zoom in and out. Then you can click and drag to the right or left to pan around the video. Double-clicking in the video player will reset the view to normal. Check out this step-by-step tutorial to learn more.
Now you can get up close and analyze even the smallest details, from footwork to change in directions at the right moment.
Advantages for Every Sport
The new pan and zoom feature will be most valuable during an analyst’s video review workflow, or during review with your coaches or athletes. You’ll be able to catch every detail, small and large, giving you the ability to better analyze performance.
