Turn hours of dive and snorkel footage into short highlight clips you'll actually watch and share. GetHighlights uses AI to find the best moments in your underwater video, like marine life encounters, colorful reefs, diver moments and dramatic light, so you never have to scrub through hours of footage again. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import Your Footage Film with a GoPro, DJI Osmo Action, Insta360 (exported videos) or an iPhone in an underwater housing. Import the full video from Photos or Files. 2. AI Finds Your Best Moments The AI analyzes your footage and picks out the highlights: marine life, coral reefs, diver moments, underwater landscapes, rare sightings and dramatic lighting. 3. Export & Share Review your highlight reel, trim or reorder clips, and export for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, WhatsApp or your camera roll. FEATURES AI Highlight Detection Tuned specifically for underwater footage. Every pick comes with a confidence score and the reasoning behind it. Optionally tell the AI what to look for, such as "Don't miss the turtle!" Species Identification Clips list the fish and other marine life the AI recognized, with common and scientific names. Color Correction Water strips the reds and yellows out of your footage. Turn on color correction to bring them back: the AI suggests a strength for each clip, and you can fine-tune it. Smart Crop Intelligently reframes your underwater clips for vertical or square formats. Subject tracking keeps marine life and the action centered, perfect for social media. Social Export Export highlight reels optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or standard widescreen. Choose split clips or a compiled highlight reel with transitions. Privacy First Your original dive videos never leave your device. Only a low-resolution proxy is sent for AI analysis, so your full footage stays private and secure on your iPhone. HIGHLIGHT CATEGORIES GetHighlights AI is tuned to detect these underwater moments: - Marine Life: fish, sharks, rays, turtles and other sea creatures - Coral & Reef: vibrant reef systems and coral formations - Diver Moments: buddy interactions, gear checks, descents and ascents - Underwater Landscape: caverns, walls, drop-offs and seascapes - Rare Sightings: unusual or uncommon marine encounters - Lighting Effects: sun rays, bioluminescence and dramatic visibility WHO IT'S FOR Divers, snorkelers, freedivers, dive masters and action-camera users who never find time to edit but want to keep and share the best parts of every trip. Experienced editors use it to speed up their workflow. FREE TO TRY Get started with 3 free analyses, no credit card required. Free analyses cover the first 30 minutes of each video.

About

Bring Back Red

Features
Read full description

Your whole dive, restored. Bring Back Red is AI underwater color correction for the photos, Live Photos and video you bring home from scuba diving, snorkeling, freediving or an action camera. It measures what the water took from each shot and restores natural color without repainting the scene. AI FINDS YOUR DIVES BY ITSELF You do not tag anything or pick anything. Bring Back Red reads your camera roll, recognizes your underwater shots and groups them back into the dives they came from: photos, Live Photos and clips together. Open one and correct the whole dive in a single pass. Shots that are already balanced stay out of the way. Only the exceptions ask for your decision. VIDEO THAT SURVIVES THE EXPORT Supported 8K HDR video keeps its resolution, frame rate, audio and HDR intent. Correction follows the clip as the light changes through it, rather than freezing one look over the whole thing. Every export is reopened and checked before Bring Back Red calls it finished. If a long save is interrupted, you can finish it without processing the video again. IT TAKES WHAT YOUR CAMERA WRITES RAW and ProRAW from a housing, ProRes and Apple Log from an iPhone Pro, Dolby Vision and HDR video, and the everyday JPEG and HEIC. YOU KEEP CONTROL Preview photos and video before you commit. Adjust Intensity when you want to, or leave it alone. Export a corrected copy to Photos or Files, at full quality. Your originals stay exactly as they were, byte for byte. IT RUNS ON YOUR PHONE Correction happens on the device, so it works on the boat with no signal. There is no account to make, and your photos are never uploaded. ON IPHONE AND IPAD One app for both. On iPad the inspector stands permanently beside the photograph or the clip. AI that measures, never invents. Your dive is corrected, never repainted.
