Edit spatial videos seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro — and even preview the 3D effect without a headset. Built from the ground-up for Apple platforms in SwiftUI. • Edit non-destructively. Your original clips are never altered. • Generate spatial videos from regular 2D clips using custom on-device machine learning models and rendering pipelines. • Import common packed 3D video formats, including side-by-side and top/bottom, and automatically convert detected clips into spatial videos. • Convert every 2D video in a project to spatial at once from the Project Inspector. • Rearrange clips with simple drag-and-drop timeline editing. • Trim clips, apply filters, and add visual effects. • Crop ordinary and spatial videos with freeform bounds or built-in aspect ratios, and scrub through the clip to preview the framing before applying it. • Rotate individual clips left or right in 90-degree increments. • Add images with automatically applied Ken Burns-style pans and zooms. • Add Cross Dissolve, Dip to Black, Wipe, and Push transitions between clips, customize their timing, and choose a direction for Wipe and Push. • Preview the 3D effect of spatial videos on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and view individual clips directly in 3D on Apple Vision Pro. • View spatial videos in true 3D on Apple Vision Pro. • Export an animated “spatial GIF” based on a frame from a spatial clip. • Use the export sheet to choose destination, optional spatial conversion, and output format, including Spatial Video, Side by Side, Side by Side Half, Top/Bottom, and Top/Bottom Half. • Swap in your own music or audio tracks, then trim and tweak them. 100% Private CosmiCut never collects or transmits your data.

Shooting Cut — The smart video editor for competitive shooters. Built for USPSA, IPSC, IDPA, 3-Gun, and any timed shooting discipline. Import your footage — the app finds the timer beep and every gunshot on its own, then exports a finished video in minutes. No manual editing required. FOUR EDITING MODES - Auto Trim Finds the timer beep and the last shot, trims to exact match duration. Choose how many seconds to keep before the timer and after the final shot. - Merge Stitch up to 20 stage videos into one highlight reel. Each clip keeps its own score subtitle and split times. - Split Sync Sync two camera angles across four layouts: Full Screen (9:16), Dual Center HUD, Dual Top HUD, or Side by Side (16:9). Every layout auto-syncs to the timer. - Stage Mix Multi-camera editing for 2-3 angles. Assign perspectives (POV, Follow, Static) — detected automatically. The app splits the stage into shooting segments, short moves and long moves, cutting to the best angle for each. Manual override available. TIMER & SHOT DETECTION Tap Analyze to find the timer and every shot on a live waveform. Tune sensitivity per clip, set the minimum split interval so rapid fire is not merged into one shot, drag the timer marker, remove false detections, or mark the true last shot. OFFICIAL SCORES Import match scores from PractiScore, ESS, HDP, Shoot'n Score It, or IDPA PDF reports. ESS browsing covers 41 regions worldwide and Shoot'n Score It adds the Nordics and the UK — find your match and your name without leaving the app. With PractiScore, official per-shot times anchor onto your footage automatically, so the splits on screen match the official record and stay aligned when you drag the timer. Score badges appear on your video thumbnails so stages are easy to tell apart. USPSA, IPSC, IDPA and PCSL match types supported. SUBTITLES & SCORE CARDS Overlays show stage time, splits, shot count, hit factor and best split, with hits colour-coded by zone. Pick Badge, Compact or Full card styles. Titles auto-fill with match name, division, hit factor and rankings when you share. EXPORT & SHARE - Export in Original, 4K, 1080p or 720p — the picker offers only what your footage can deliver - Aspect ratios: 9:16 / 4:5 / 1:1 / 16:9 or Source - AI Reframe: tracks and centres the shooter for portrait exports - Direct upload to YouTube and Facebook (Pro) - Share to Instagram and Facebook Stories through the iOS share sheet - Batch export across ratios and resolutions (Mac / Pro) - iCloud sync for aliases, perspectives and scores across your devices FREE VS PRO Auto Trim and score import — including PractiScore official per-shot times — are free for everyone.
