How to Create an Automatic Compilation Template

Learn how to set up an automatic compilation template in LIGR Live, including recurrence, output options, and event configuration.

Overview

Automatic compilation templates automatically generate highlight compilations based on rules you set. Templates run on a schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) or trigger when matches finish, combining highlights from selected events into one video without manual intervention.


You'll use templates when you want compilations created automatically - for example, a weekly highlight reel that generates every Sunday evening, or individual match compilations that create immediately after each match ends.

Prerequisites

Before creating a template, make sure the following are in place:


• Highlights must be captured during your streams (Generate Highlights toggle must be enabled in stream settings)


• At least one completed match with captured highlights


• Competition and stream configured in Assets and Matches sections


How to Create an Automatic Compilation Template

1. Navigate to Multimedia > Compilations, then click the Templates tab.


2. Click Create Template in the top right corner to start configuring a new template.


3. Enter a template name and select the sport it applies to.


4. Optional: Toggle on Include Club Moments if you want manually created moments included in addition to auto-captured highlights.


5. Optional: Toggle on Available to Club Portals if you want the resulting compilations accessible there.


6. Click Add Event and configure the match events you want included. For each event, select the event type, optionally select a tag to filter highlights, and adjust the lead and lag times. Pro tip: use shorter lead/lag for compilations so the video isn't too long.


7. Select a Recurrence to determine when the template runs:


• Manual: You trigger the template yourself


• Daily: Runs every day at a specific time


• Weekly: Runs on a specific day of the week at a specific time


• Monthly: Runs on a specific day of the month at a specific time


• When Match is Finished: Triggers automatically when a match is marked as finished


8. Select an Output Option to determine how matches are combined:


• All in One Video Ordered by Event: All matches combined, grouped by event type


• All in One Video Ordered by Match: All matches combined, in match order


• One Video Per Match: Separate compilation for each match selected


9. Select a competition, and optionally select pre-roll and post-roll videos to bookend the compilation.


10. Select a stream - all matches under this stream will trigger the template.


11. Optional: Click Add Competition to include multiple competitions in one template.


12. Click Create Template to save it.


The template is saved in the Templates tab. When the recurrence condition is met, compilations automatically generate and appear in the Videos tab.

How Templates Work

When the recurrence condition is met, the template automatically generates a compilation based on your configured rules.


Example: If you set weekly recurrence for Sundays at 6 PM and select a stream with three matches completed that week, the template generates a compilation of all three matches every Sunday at 6 PM.


Important: Only events that were actually captured during the original stream will appear in the compilation. If you select "Penalty" but no penalties were logged during those matches, nothing will be included for that event.


Tips

• Use shorter lead/lag times (5-10 seconds) for compilations to keep the total video length manageable


• Set up weekly templates to run Sunday evening after all weekend matches for consistent highlight reels


• Use "When Match is Finished" recurrence with "One Video Per Match" output to get individual match compilations immediately after each game


• Review templates monthly to ensure they're still generating useful compilations and adjust lead/lag times based on video performance
