How are sports channels able to make a 10 min highlight reel from a 1hr+ game so quickly?

I’ve noticed that sports channels are able to upload a highlight reel for YouTube so fast. Doesn’t it normally take hours to edit a video?

If you were to take a game broadcast *after* it aired, go through it and try to pick out all the moments that are highlight-worthy and put them in a package – yes, it would take you quite a long time.

However, these packages are being created as the game airs. During a broadcast, plenty of moments are shown in replays and if they’re considered good enough, the producer will have them kept aside for use later too.

After that, it’s a simple case of deciding which of the moments kept at the time are definitely worth showing and which aren’t, and throwing some ready-produced graphics at the beginning, end and maybe some wipes to transition at most.

Networks have gotten *very very good* at streamlining all of this process.
