Easy-Scout Compatibility Mode

New to Version 5, Easy-Scout compatibility mode and the related Import and Export functions make it easier to work with files that originate in Easy-Scout Professional.

This special mode can be useful for football coaches - particularly those who are using Easy-Scout Professional with Easy-Cut.  An addendum is available on request that contains additional information about Easy-Scout Compatibility mode.

Exporting Easy-Scout Movie Projects

This function saves an Easy-Cut project in a format that is compatible with Easy-Scout Professional's Video Publishing module.

Importing Easy-Scout Games

This function makes it possible to import game data that is saved in a special format for the purpose of matching individual plays with its corresponding video on a play by play basis.

Importing Easy-Scout Movie Projects

This function works as it has in past versions of Easy-Cut. Movie Projects and Coachs' Office video project files that are created in Easy-Scout Professional can be imported into Easy-Cut, where they can be analyzed and used to Export Movies.
