Cut Game Film Down to the Play

Film review works when players actually watch the film. Sending a team a full-game YouTube link with "check the third quarter" attached is how film review dies. Sending them a 40-second clip of the specific play works.

If your games, matches, or technique references live on YouTube, TubeChop lets you trim each teaching moment into its own link. Queue up a handful of clips before practice and walk through them, or drop them in the team chat with a one-line note.

How it works

  1. Open the game or technique video

    Paste the YouTube URL of your game upload or a reference video into TubeChop.

  2. Isolate the play

    Set the start a few seconds before the moment and end it right after. A tight clip keeps the point obvious.

  3. Send it to the team

    Share the link in your team app or group chat. Players watch a 40-second play, not a two-hour game.

Why it works

Players actually watch

Short, specific clips get opened in a group chat. Full-game links do not.

Works with your existing uploads

If game film already goes to YouTube, there is nothing new to record or host.

Use pro film as reference

Trim a public highlight or technique video to show exactly the footwork or set piece you want copied.

Season-long libraries

With Premium, build a persistent library of teaching clips organized by skill, opponent, or player.

Good questions.

Can I trim our own unlisted game uploads?
Yes. TubeChop can trim any YouTube video it can play, including unlisted uploads shared by link.
Can players watch clips on their phones?
Yes. Clip pages are mobile-friendly and play through the official YouTube player, so they work in any phone browser straight from the chat.
How many clips can I make from one game?
As many as you need. Each trim becomes its own link, so you can turn one game into a dozen teaching moments.
Do the clips expire mid-season?
Free clips expire after 7 days, which covers a normal week-of-game review cycle. Premium ($15/year) removes the expiration for season-long libraries.

Skip the boring parts.
Share the good stuff.
