Nice app👍

Very creative & useful! Please add support gif

Love this app!

i purchased this for my ipad air2 and it works great so im sure it works on most ipads, this is a great tool for people who want to make videos with music matched up to certain parts, very fun to play around with. im sure it will only get better, ill add to my review later. great job developer

Brilliant idea - sequencer needed - currently incompleted

It's a cool idea but am requesting a refund: without an editable timeline or sequencer is just fun but no real use. I want to use an app to make a video i can post on YouTube and be able to deliver high quality. If i have to rely on my own talent at finger drumming am screwed. Am also quite positive an not the only one.

Response from developer

Internal sequencer is such an advanced feature for the regular users, would be an overkill. BeatCut supports MIDI though. You can use external MIDI sequencers, so you would not need to rely on your finger drumming :)

Outstanding and so welcome!

Thanks for filling (with aplomb) a sorely needed niche category for iOS music/video creators!

Fun and useful!

I would expect an app like this to cost 10 times as much. I’ve just started playing around with it and not only am I coming up with so many ways I’ll be using it going forward, it’s also an absolute blast. I love that it is simple and to the point, and I would take that over tons of additional features. Another excellent app from this developer.

FAQ

What is BeatCut?

BeatCut is a tap-to-remix video performance app that allows you to play video clips like an instrument. You can chop videos into pads, perform them live, and record your sessions as finished videos synced to audio.

How does BeatCut work?

You import video clips, trim them, and assign them to pads. Tapping these pads triggers the video chops, allowing for real-time performance with options for looping, reversing, and applying visual effects. The app is designed for intuitive, one-handed operation.

Can I add music to my BeatCut performances?

Yes, you can import a music track from Files to use as a backing audio track. This audio plays independently from the video playback and is mixed into the final exported video, perfect for syncing your visual performance to music.

What kind of video editing features does BeatCut offer?

BeatCut focuses on performance rather than traditional editing. It allows you to define chop start and end points, adjust playback speed and duration per pad, and apply various visual effects like flips, color styles, and scale modes.

How do I record and export my performance with BeatCut?

You can record exactly what you perform, including pad triggers, FX, and speed changes. The backing audio is mixed in, and the exported video is saved directly to your Photos app for easy sharing.

Is BeatCut suitable for beginners?

The app is designed for intuitive, one-handed performance, making it accessible. While it offers deep creative control, the core functionality of tapping pads to trigger video is straightforward for new users.

What devices is BeatCut compatible with?

BeatCut is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, indicating broad compatibility within the Apple ecosystem.

Does BeatCut have ads?

No, BeatCut does not contain advertisements, providing an uninterrupted creative experience for users.
