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.
