ShotMarker helps basketball players turn training videos into highlight clips. During a shooting workout, use the Apple Watch app to mark the moments you want to keep. After training, the session syncs to iPhone. Select the matching training videos from Photos, review the clips around your marker times, and generate a highlight video to save to Photos. Features: - Mark training moments quickly from Apple Watch - Sync completed training sessions to iPhone - Select videos from Photos and align markers with video timestamps - Preview and adjust each clip's start and end times, and choose which clips to keep - Customize clip number labels, including position, size, and opacity - Save highlight tasks and return to edit videos, settings, and clips - Keep your previous highlight until a new video is generated successfully - Generate highlights with original audio and save them to Photos - Export diagnostic logs for troubleshooting Keep ShotMarker in the foreground while generating a video. If generation stops, you can restart it manually. No account or sign-in is required. Training records and video processing stay on your devices. The iPhone app sends limited usage analytics and error/crash diagnostics as described in the Privacy Policy. The current app interface is in Simplified Chinese.
