What are Highlights, Moments, and Compilations?

Highlights, Moments, and Compilations are LIGR Live's multimedia tools for turning your match recordings into shareable video clips.


If you're new to LIGR's media features, it can be easy to mix these three terms up. This article explains what each one is, how they relate to each other, and when you'd use them.


The Three Multimedia Concepts

LIGR Live uses three related terms to describe how match video is broken down and reassembled into clips:


Moments — short tagged clips within a match recording


Highlights — video clips created from a match recording, either automatically or manually


Compilations — a collection of highlight clips stitched together into a single video


Think of it as a layered system: Moments are the raw tags, Highlights are individual clips, and Compilations bundle those clips into one finished video.

Moments

Moments are short tagged clips within a match recording. They act as markers inside the full recording, pointing to specific events that happened during the match.


Moments are typically generated from Match Facts captured in the LiveScore App (such as goals, cards, or substitutions), which means the key events of your match can automatically become taggable points in the recording.


When to use Moments

• Reviewing a specific event in a match recording


• Building a library of tagged events to draw from when creating highlights


• Quickly locating key plays without scrubbing through the full recording


Highlights

Highlights are individual video clips created from a match recording. They can be:


Automatically created based on Match Facts and Moments captured during the match


Manually created by trimming or selecting a portion of the match recording


A Highlight is a standalone clip — for example, a single goal, a red card incident, or a decisive play.

When to use Highlights

• Sharing a single moment on social media


• Providing clubs, teams, or players with a clip of a specific event


• Reviewing individual plays in isolation


Compilations

Compilations are collections of Highlight clips stitched together into a single video. Instead of sharing each Highlight separately, you can bundle several into one continuous video.


When to use Compilations

• Creating a match recap video


• Producing a "Goals of the Round" or "Best of" package


• Sharing a longer highlights reel for broadcast or social media


How They Work Together

The typical flow looks like this:


1. A match is played and recorded in LIGR Live.


2. Match Facts captured in the LiveScore App generate Moments within the recording.


3. Highlights are created from those Moments, either automatically or manually.


4. Selected Highlights are combined into a Compilation for a single finished video.

Tips

• Capture Match Facts accurately in the LiveScore App — the more complete your match data, the more useful your automated Moments and Highlights will be.


• Use Highlights for single-event sharing and Compilations when you need a package of multiple clips.


• Review your Moments first before building Highlights — this saves time scrubbing through the full recording.


Common Issues

No Moments appearing for a match: Check that Match Facts were recorded in the LiveScore App during the match. Without captured events, there are no tags to generate Moments from.


Highlights missing key events: If an event wasn't captured as a Match Fact, it won't automatically generate a Highlight. You can still create one manually from the match recording.


Compilation not including an expected clip: Make sure the Highlight exists and has been selected before the Compilation is generated.
