5) Edit out BS and down time. So no 5 seconds between pitches or hits. Cut it all out. Don't leave in bad stuff - if you get a hit that pops up - don't include it.
Be careful with this. From the words of several college coach's mouth. They would like to see 10 swings in a row from the side and 10 swings from behind unedited. They want to see how the player makes the adjustment pitch to pitch. Don't try to fool us is what they said. They don't want to see a perfect video either. If your cell phone can produce decent quality video use it. No music, no slow motion and they prefer not to see in game video highlight. Coaches don't want you to have to spend a bunch of money on a skills video...they prefer you spend money on camps!!!
Use Windows Movie Maker (free download) and post it to your kids youtube channel. From there you will can use the analytics function to see if anyone is watching the video and what state they are watching it from...along with some other nuggets of valuable information.
Note: In order to get a good 10 pitch sequence you may have to toss a bunch of balls to get some decent film. Having any skills video is better than nothing. Do one every year so the coaches can see the progress and growth. It's also good to send to TB coaches as you begin to consider moving teams.
