Trace is more than a soccer camera. It\u2019s your player\u2019s highlights.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other cameras on the market, Trace PlayerFocus is a truly personalized solution that instantly identifies, follows, and spotlights your player. Within a few hours of the final whistle Trace automatically edits your child\u2019s highlights and serves them up in convenient player playlists that are ready for your enjoyment. Trace isn\u2019t just the best Veo camera alternative, it\u2019s the best way to watch, download and share the only highlights you care about: your player\u2019s. You won\u2019t find a more affordable and convenient way for anyone to get started with soccer video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trace vs. Veo Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most affordable way to record your child\u2019s soccer games.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trace overcomes the cost and fundraising obstacles that frequently keep the average soccer family from getting started with video. Trace\u2019s new PlayerFocus plans enable families to get a smart camera for $495\/year and subscribe to their player\u2019s highlights for $180\/year – that\u2019s just $675\/year to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If others want to join, Trace\u2019s flexible pricing<\/a> model allows each family to pick and choose the plan that best fits their needs, whenever they want, for as little as $180\/year per player, with month-to-month options that don\u2019t require a commitment. No fundraising, Venmo chasing or Team Snapping required – Trace PlayerFocus saves you the time-consuming logistics, and lets you enjoy your player\u2019s highlights ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veo, on the other hand, starts at $2,231<\/a> plus additional costs to subscribe to each software feature for the newest version of their camera. This pricing makes it hard for families to adopt video without getting an entire team on board first. Convincing fifteen families to split costs can be difficult and time-consuming. Veo’s one-size-fits-all approach tends to delay when players can reap the benefits of video for soccer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything is included with Trace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trace\u2019s all-inclusive equipment subscription includes all of the equipment you need: soccer camera, carrying case, tripod, and sandbags. Your child\u2019s soccer journey is way too short to worry about being nickel and dimed on accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veo charges extra for small things like carrying cases and tripods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PlayerCam: Your personal videographer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Powered by Trace\u2019s AI platform, PlayerCam automatically puts your player in the center of the action. PlayerCam is the most personal way to capture and re-watch soccer game film. Just like professional Star Cams, PlayerCam automatically zooms in on your player, so they are always in the center of the frame, ensuring that every crucial moment is recorded with them in focus. This advanced technology processes game film to follow specific players closely, giving you the option to switch between tracking your player up close or capturing the entire team\u2019s dynamics in one comprehensive frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trace is easier to set up and manage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you are ready to film your first game, Trace\u2019s Universal Roster feature saves you hours of data entry, roster management, and headaches. Trace identifies each player on your team and conveniently displays the roster for you. No setup, no data entry. Parents can just scroll through the roster to find their player by jersey number, add their contact info, subscribe, and dig in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veo requires parents to upload rosters before getting started. The manual nature of roster management with Veo taxes the parent responsible for the Veo camera with hours of contact gathering and data entry, followed by endless messages fielding questions about how it all works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced Viewing Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trace is always innovating and delivering new ways for you to enjoy your player\u2019s soccer footage. Watching your player on Trace is an intense, addictive experience. Features like Always-On Spotlights, which helps parents quickly spot their child, and PlayerCam which automatically magnifies your player, delivering a state-of-the-art viewing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veo provides a standard viewing experience. You can watch the game from the distant, middle-of-the-field POV which has become standard in youth sports video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trace vs. Veo Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Playlists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trace PlayerFocus automatically edits your child\u2019s highlights and serves them up in convenient player playlists that are ready for your enjoyment within hours of the game. Trace instantly spotlights and tags your player in each highlight, making it the fastest way to watch and rewatch your soccer player\u2019s awesomeness and effortless for coaches to provide feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veo does not automatically deliver personalized moments or playlists. While it automatically identifies key plays Veo cannot tell who is who on the field. Users must manually edit the film on their own time. Veo\u2019s generic highlights and tagging forces parents to spend hours scanning footage and even more editing clips to organize into playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recruiting or Player Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trace PlayerFocus automatically creates your player\u2019s channel or Trace iD<\/a> and populates it with their game day content. No uploading, no tagging – Trace iD hosts the latest and greatest in a unique URL so players can send to college coaches delivering more opportunities to get noticed. When it comes to college recruiting season, advanced features like uploading external video, creating custom playlists and downloadable content make Trace iD a blue-chip prospect\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veo\u2019s recently-released Player Profile feature doesn\u2019t automatically populate with footage. Playlist creation is supported but laborious and customization is limited as Veo mandates that Player Profile Playlists be tied to existing \u201cabilities.\u201d Veo Player Profiles do not allow downloading of profile content. These limitations force many Veo customers to use time-consuming tools like iMovie<\/strong> or hire editors to cobble together recruiting highlight reels and then upload them to platforms like YouTube.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trace PlayerFocused Highlights are always relevant and focused on your player which translates to more views, sharing, and binging than any other soccer video solution. Our personalized highlights drive more than 1,100 highlight views per game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veo games are viewed less than 5 times per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
