Defense highlight reel FAQ

How does NextPlay's AI know what plays matter for a defense?

NextPlay's AI is position-aware across 40+ positions and 14+ sports. For defense in lacrosse, the analyzer surfaces role-specific moments (the plays college coaches grade you on) and weights them ahead of generic highlights. You don't have to tag plays manually — the AI knows what a defense's tape should look like.

How long should a defense recruiting reel be?

Most college coaches open a recruiting reel for 60–90 seconds. NextPlay generates a 60-second recruiting cut, a 15-second social cut, and a 90-second deep-dive — all from the same upload. Send the right one for the right audience without re-editing.

Is NextPlay free for defenses starting out in lacrosse?

Yes — NextPlay's Free plan covers 5 uploads/month, which is enough to build a complete recruiting reel for any position. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for unlimited uploads. No watermark on any plan.

Can I share my defense highlight reel directly with college coaches?

Yes. Every reel gets a shareable public link that opens on any device. The reel is generated in both 16:9 recruiting format (the format coaches expect) and 9:16 social format. Coach views are tracked so you know who's watching.
