Building and presenting a clip deck

Full walkthrough: Turn match footage into Club TV in the guide covers this step by step.

A clip deck is a slide deck built from match footage — clips, stats, a heatmap, a bit of text — that you stand in front of and talk through. Presentations in the sidebar is where all of them live.

Every match recording that syncs from Veo gets an empty deck made for it automatically. So the list isn't a record of what you've built — it's a queue of matches waiting for someone, and your job is usually triage rather than creation.

That's what the Stage filter is for:

The filter also lists Shared and Archived, but nothing moves a deck into either today (sharing its link included), so a finished deck stays under Presented.

Not started and In progress both sit under a raw status of "draft", which is why the filter offers stages rather than statuses — otherwise the untouched decks would pool with the half-built ones and the queue would tell you nothing. Opening a deck to look doesn't move it out of Not started; your first save does.

Alongside it, Program narrows to one team, and the search box matches on opponent, squad or title.

Two buttons at the top right:

New Presentation — pick the match, then pick the clips. The clip step splits them three ways: Coach Clips (moments a coach tagged), Events (what Veo detected by itself) and All Clips. Coach clips are the ones with intent behind them, so they're usually where to start. Choose Pre-match instead of Match review for a deck that puts the match's starting XI on screen before kick-off; it's a separate deck from the review, marked Pre-match in the list. A trial game is listed once its footage is linked. Training footage uses Internal match: see Internal matches.

GK Presentation — the keeper-first version, and a genuinely different order: choose the keepers first, and you're then offered only the matches those keepers actually kept goal in. See Goalkeeper video sessions.

Add slide groups its slides by job. Most need a match with the data behind them:

• Match clip — a moment from the footage, with a label and caption. Any drawings a coach made on Veo come across with it — see Coach drawings from Veo. You can also pull a clip from another squad's fixture mid-deck: the picker cascades Squad → Fixture → clips, and Check for new re-pulls from Veo if a clip you expect isn't listed.
• Match stats, Leaderboard, Shot map, Work rate — pulled live from the match's own numbers, so they stay right if the data is corrected later. (Disabled with "Link to a match" until the deck has a fixture.)
• Lineup — a starting XI on the squad's half of the pitch, in Plan, 3D or Player POV: this match's kick-off XI, the Last meeting with this opponent, or another of the squad's matches via Pick a match.
• Phase of play and Set piece — the squad's players standing in a moment of open play or a restart.
• Text, Image, Other video — for anything you're bringing in yourself.

The title slide and section headers aren't in the add list, because every deck made from a match arrives with them (This Week's Focus, Standards to Elevate, Positives to Reinforce, Coach's Clips). Retitle the sections to your structure, and duplicate one from the slide list when you need an extra. A deck that breaks into two or three named sections is far easier to talk through than fourteen clips in a row.

The editor saves as you go — Saving… then Saved near the top, and Save failed with a Retry button if something didn't land. Undo and Redo are there for the inevitable. The full slide-by-slide reference is Build a clip deck slide by slide in the guide.

The present menu offers four things:

• Full screen — present on the screen you're on.
• Presenter view — the deck goes to a second screen while you keep the controls on your own. This is the one for a laptop plugged into a projector.
• Share presentation — opens a dialog with the deck's link to copy.
• Send to Club TV — throws it to a paired clubroom screen. Send it from a computer: on a phone the deck starts on the TV, but the phone doesn't become the remote. See Presenting on a Club TV screen.

Ending a presentation from the editor marks the deck Presented by itself, so you don't have to remember to.

Worth being clear about, because it's easy to under-estimate: anyone with that link can open the deck, from any device, without signing in. That's what makes it useful — a coach can present from their own phone with no account juggling — and it's also why the link is not something to post anywhere public. It carries the clips, the captions and the match data with it.

Opening the Share presentation dialog is the act that publishes the deck — the link is live from that moment, whether or not you copy it. So if a link you handed out earlier says Session not found, that deck was never published: open the share dialog once and the link starts working. There's no way to switch a link off once it's out, so share a deck only when you're happy for it to travel.

• Work the Not started queue by programme. Filtering to one team and clearing its untouched decks is faster than working the club-wide list, because consecutive matches share opponents and themes.
• Six to ten clips is a session. Twenty is a screening. The editing is the analysis.
• Caption every clip. In the room you'll narrate it anyway, but the caption is what survives when the deck is shared and watched without you.
• Put the stats slide after the clips, not before. The clips make the case; the numbers confirm it. In the other order the room argues with the numbers.
