How to Back Up Your Entire GameChanger Season (Complete Guide)

1The Season Is Ending - Now What?

The season was amazing. The wins, the close games, the incredible plays your kid made. GameChanger captured it all on video. But now the season is ending, and you're wondering: what happens to all those clips?

Here's what most parents don't realize: those videos aren't guaranteed to be there forever. Teams dissolve. Subscriptions lapse. GameChanger could change their policies. Learn more about what happens to your GameChanger videos.

The smart move? Back up your entire season before it disappears.

2Why You Should Back Up Now

End-of-season is the perfect time to archive everything. You have access to all the clips, you know what memories matter, and you can organize everything while it's fresh.

3Method 1: Manual Downloads (The Slow Way)

If you only have a few clips to save, you can download them one at a time using ClipKeeper's free version:

This works, but it's tedious if you have a full season of clips. A season might have 50-100+ clips across 15-20 games. Downloading each one individually would take hours.

4Method 2: Batch Download with ClipKeeper Pro (The Fast Way)

For full season backups, ClipKeeper Pro is the way to go. The batch download feature lets you download all clips from a game with one click.

5Organizing Your Downloaded Files

Once you have all your clips downloaded, organize them so you can actually find them later. Here are some folder structures that work well:

├── 2024-03-15-vs-Eagles/
├── 2024-03-22-vs-Hawks/
├── 2024-03-29-vs-Lions/
└── ...

├── Jake-Smith/
│   ├── at-bats/

└── ...

2024-Baseball-Season/
├── Home-Runs/
├── Great-Catches/
├── Strikeouts/
├── RBIs/
└── All-Clips/

ClipKeeper Pro's smart file naming includes player name, play type, and date - making it easier to sort and organize clips after downloading.

6Cloud Backup Options

Local storage is good. Cloud backup is better. Upload your organized season archive to at least one cloud service for redundancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to back up a full season?

With ClipKeeper Pro's batch download, you can download all clips from a game in about 5 minutes. A 15-game season might take 1-2 hours total, depending on your internet speed and number of clips.

What file format are the downloads?

GameChanger clips download as .ts files (MPEG Transport Stream). This is the original HD quality format. If you need MP4, see our guide on converting TS to MP4.

Can I back up clips from my kid's other teams?

Yes! As long as you have access to view those clips in GameChanger (as a parent or team member), ClipKeeper can download them. This is great for multi-sport athletes.

Is $29/year worth it for Pro?

If you have more than 5 clips to download per week, Pro pays for itself immediately in time savings. The batch download feature alone can save you hours. Plus, you get smart file naming that makes organization much easier.
