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. If you have high-quality game footage but not a highlight video yet, this article helps you make a quality skills video using a Mac computer.
How to Build a Highlight Reel on a Mac
While there is 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.

Using video on Your Profile

Please note that event film enabled through the IWLCARecruits film package is not available for direct download.
