Please note: This feature is only available via a web browser and not the Hub app.
Online tagging is available to everyone with a Hub account, but there are some restrictions on the total number of tagging windows you can create in your account, depending on the type of plan you have.
The breakdown is as follows:
• H40 - Create 2 different tagging windows
• H100 - Create 5 different tagging windows
• H200 - Create 10 different tagging windows
• H300 - Create 30 different tagging windows
• H400 - Create 40 different tagging windows
• H500 - Create 50 different tagging windows
• Hub Demo - Create 1 tagging window
If you are a super administrator in one of the higher level accounts, the number of tagging windows can be shared between sub accounts as you see fit.
To do this, click on your profile picture and select Sub accounts. From here, you can add or delete new sub accounts, assign the number of administrators and standard users and, of course, manage the number of tagging windows assigned to each sub account.
By default, only account administrators can create tagging windows. They can, however, assign tagging windows to standard users, who can then create their own.
To do this, click the Videos tab in the sidebar then click on Tagging Window Manager in the upper toolbar. Click the share icon in the toolbar.
In the window that opens, you can assign tagging window permissions to any standard user in the account, up to the maximum that your account allows.
To create your first tagging window in Hub, click on the Videos tab in the sidebar. From here, click on Tagging Window Manager in the upper toolbar.
In the window that opens, you can view all the available tagging windows or create a new window. You can select a tagging window and right click it (or press the options button) to share and enable other standard users to use the tagging window on their own analysis.
Double click on any tagging window to open and edit it. Alternatively, click the plus icon in the bottom right corner to start one from scratch.
Whichever option you choose, a new window opens with two columns - the tagging window itself on the right and the editing option on the left. The latter opens when you choose any button.
Here’s a look at both of these columns:
Hub allows you to create a maximum of 24 separate buttons. There a various types of button available, similar to those found in the Nacsport desktop software, which include:
Automatic categories: the main action or parameter that creates a clip. Clips are created automatically with a set time which you configure. Rectangular shape (Transition in the image above)
Manual categories: the main action or parameter that creates a clip. Clips are created manually, click the button once to begin creating the clip and once to stop. Rectangular shape with a dark border (Attack and Defense in the image above)
Descriptors: Adds additional info to categories. Allows for advanced stats and clip filtering. Oblong shape (Goal, High Press and Conceded Goal in the image above)
To create or edit a button, click on it to open the editing window.
• Name the button and choose whether it is a category or descriptor.
• Assign a fill colour for the button and a text colour.
• Choose a keyboard shortcut for quick tagging (some keys are reserved for video controls and are unavailable).
• Choose the Pre and Post times. This dictates the length of clips created by automatic categories before and after the click.
• Choose whether the category is manual or not. Manual categories must be clicked twice to create the clip - once to start the clip and once to end it.
• Set an exclusion to ensure that two contrasting manual categories, such as Attack and Defense, cannot be active at the same time. Clicking one will automatically close the other.
Once finished editing the button, don’t forget to click Accept to save the changes.
Add as many buttons as you need and click Save Changes. A thumbnail of the tagging window will be created and added to the Tagging Window Manager.
Ok, now that you’ve created your tagging window, it’s time to start tagging your video.
To do this, go to the Videos tab in the sidebar and select the video you want to tag. Double click it to open the video.
There are two options here. If the video already contains an analysis by you or one of your colleagues, you can choose to open that analysis and continue working on it with the same or a different tagging window.
In this case, your tags will be mixed with those of the other analysts, although they can be filtered to only show your tags at a later time.
Option two is to start a brand new analysis with the tagging window of your choice.
Let’s create a new analysis…
Click the + icon, click the smaller + that appears above it and name your analysis.
Now choose the tagging window you want to use, play the video and start tagging the game by clicking the buttons or using the previously assigned keyboard shortcuts.
Your tags will appear in the play-by-play table below the video player. Click any tagged clip to view it in the video player.
You can filter the clips in the play-by-play table using the filter icon in the toolbar below the video player. Clips can be filtered to show clips that you have tagged or that contain specific categories.
To share an analysis created with your tagging window on Hub, you need to update the View / edit permissions for players and coaches.
To do this, open the video from the Video tab in the sidebar and choose the one you want to work with.
In the next window, if there is more than one analysis available for the video, click the one you want to share to highlight it.
Next, click the options menu (three vertical dots) in the upper-right and choose Change view / edit permissions.
The following window will open:
Only players or coaches that are highlighted in blue will be able to view the analysis and associated clips.
In addition, you can grant permission to anyone on the account to edit the analysis, i.e. add their own clips with the same or different tagging window. To do this, ensure the Edit? box is ticked.
If the analysis was created by an account administrator, by default, all users in the account will automatically have permission to view the analysis, but not edit it.
If the analysis was created by a standard user, by default, all permissions will be deactivated and must be assigned manually.
We are aware that screen space is limited in the tagging environment of Hub and that’s why we have added the picture-in-picture feature in order to give you more room to work comfortably.
This feature is available by default when using Firefox or Edge. Simply hover the mouse over the video and click the icon that appears.
If you use Chrome, you need to install this free extension. Once installed, press Alt + P (⌥ + P on macOS) to activate the feature.
The video player will pop out allowing you to move it anywhere on the screen. Drag the corners to make it bigger or smaller.
This is especially useful if you are using a dual screen setup, as you can have the video occupying one screen and the tagging window and play-by-play table in the other.
To extend the play-by-play table, click on the double arrows below the video player.
To open the Clip Editor, choose the clips you want to edit and click the icon beneath the video player. You can also double click a clip to open the editor.
From here you can change the length of the clip - useful if your pre and post times haven’t caught all the action.
You can also change the tagged category, remove descriptors and add notes to the clip.
To share any of your tagged clips, select them in the play-by-play table and click the options menu to the right of the toolbar.
Here, you’ll find the option for deleting the selected clips, but also the option to share them to a post on the Team Channel, a new/existing presentation window and a new/existing list in a presentation (presentation tools only for admin users).
Perfect for instantly sharing your work with players and fellow coaches.
