Diving highlights for parents

Parents: make a diving highlight from phone clips

Your child played. You filmed it. Upload diving phone clips or a full meet with the NextPlay iPhone app, Android app or website. AI finds likely action and cuts downtime; you review it and choose what belongs in a Highlight. Recruiting Highlight, Coach Film and Game Tape are available when you need them.

Diving highlight reel FAQ

Can AI turn a full diving meet into highlights?

Yes. Upload the full meet recording. NextPlay finds likely diving action and cuts downtime; you review the detected moments and choose what belongs in a Highlight. If you need the complete cut, Game Tape keeps every detected segment in order with no runtime trimming. A long recording takes an hour or more to analyse.

Can a parent make a diving highlight without editing every clip?

Yes. Upload the diving clips already in your camera roll. NextPlay finds likely plays and cuts the downtime, so you do not have to scrub every clip or build the edit by hand. Review the detected moments, choose what belongs in one Highlight, then download or share it yourself.

What length should a diving recruiting reel be?

Most college coaches want 60–90 seconds for first contact. NextPlay's Recruiting Highlight is built for that — landscape, muted, ordered for impact. When you share it, pick a 15, 60, or 90-second length right from the share sheet — no re-editing needed.

Does NextPlay work for youth diving?

Yes — NextPlay is built for athletes 13+. Youth mode skips recruiting features and focuses on parent + family sharing with cinematic reels built for social. No watermark on any plan.

Is NextPlay cheaper than hiring a diving highlight editor?

Yes — significantly. Custom diving highlight editing runs $149–$1,099 per reel. NextPlay's Athlete plan is $14.99/month for unlimited reels — full-game Game Tape included — and you can cancel at any time.

Does NextPlay find my athlete or read jersey numbers?

No. NextPlay cuts every play for the whole field and does not track a player or read jersey numbers. Mark athlete lets you tap your athlete on any play — circle, arrow or spotlight — and the mark is burned into the downloaded video. Film that follows one player (phone footage, a Trace or Veo player view) keeps them in more of the clips. Team plans can use roster numbers to suggest which athlete each play belongs to.

Can I pay once for my diving season instead of subscribing?

Yes. The Athlete Season Pass is $40.99 on the web for 3 months of access with one payment. It does not auto-renew. Another pass adds three months when you need it.

Your child played. You filmed it. Skip the editing.

Plans start at $14.99/month, or choose a $40.99 Athlete Season Pass for three months with one payment and no auto-renew. Unlimited uploads, highlight reels and full-game Game Tape are included; monthly AI-analysis fair-use limits apply.
