# Adding Video Clips to Plans

Add video clips from your Clips library to a practice plan. Players and coaches can watch the clip right from the plan, which saves explaining a drill on the ice.

Clips are a Premium feature.

## Add a Clip in the Plan Builder

Open your plan in the **Plan Builder**. In the left sidebar, open **Clips**.

- Use **Search my clips** to find a clip by name.
- Your **Playlists** are listed below your clips.

Click a clip or playlist to add it to your plan.

## Set the Time & Add a Note

A clip shows in your drill list with a **CLIP** label. Like a drill, you can:

- Set the **minutes** to block off time for watching it.
- Add **Notes**, such as when to show it or what to watch for.
- Drag it to where it fits in your practice.

## Watch a Clip from the Plan

On the plan page, each clip shows as a **Video Clip** with its length and a **Play** button. Click **Play** to watch it without leaving the plan.

Anyone who can see the plan can play its clips, including people you share the plan with by link.

## Drill Videos & Animations

If a drill in your plan has a video link or an animation, the plan shows a **Video** or **Animation** link with it. These links also appear on the printed plan and PDF.

## Good to Know

- Clips stay in your [Clips](/clips) library. The plan links to them and doesn't make a copy.
- If you delete a clip that's in a plan, the plan shows it as **No longer available**.
- When you send a plan to another coach, their copy points to your clips. If they don't have access to a clip, it shows as unavailable in their copy.

## Tips

- Keep clips short. A 10–30 second clip is easier to watch on the bench or in the locker room.
- Use a playlist when you want to show several clips back to back.
- Add a 1–2 minute block for video so your plan's total time stays accurate.
