If you have high-quality game footage but not a highlight video yet, this article helps you build a quality skills video for college coaches to see.

Creating a highlight reel will make you stand out as a student-athlete in the college recruiting process. College coaches use college recruiting videos to analyze a student-athlete’s athletic abilities.

How to Build a Highlight Reel on a Mac

While there are video editing software out there that can help you build a highlight reel, many of them cost money. For Mac users, iMovie, a free application, helps get the job done. This was designed with the non-technical computer user in mind, and is very straightforward and easy to use.   

We also created a basic isolation effect and background for you to use for your title card information. Simply click here to download them straight to your computer.
