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.

Split Video lets you divide any video into precisely timed clips and save each one to your photo library — all without leaving the Photos app. HOW IT WORKS Share any video from Photos, Files, or any app using the iOS Share Sheet and choose "Split Video: Precise Cuts." A visual timeline editor opens where you can scrub to any moment and tap Cut to mark a split point. Add up to 30 cut points, then tap Done to export every segment to Photos in one step. TIMELINE EDITOR • Centered scrolling playhead — scrub your video with a swipe • Pinch to zoom the timeline for frame-level precision • Cut points snap magnetically to nearby strikes so adjustments are always clean • Undo any cut instantly ORIGINAL QUALITY By default, Split Video copies your video's compressed bitstream byte-for-byte. No re-encoding means no generation loss — your clips come out at the exact same quality as the original. A Precise mode (opt-in) re-encodes for frame-accurate cuts when you need them. METADATA PRESERVED Exported clips carry over your original video's capture location, creation date, and Favorites status. Each clip's timestamp is offset to reflect when in real time it was recorded. IN-APP LIBRARY Open the Split Video app to browse all your videos in a clean grid. Sort by date captured or recently added, filter to Favorites, and tap any video to edit it without going through the Share Sheet. FREE FOR CASUAL USE (BUT COFFEE IS APPRECIATED) The free tier includes 5 exported clips per calendar month — enough to use it in a pinch. A single one-time purchase of Split Video Premium removes the limit permanently. No subscription, no recurring charges. To restore a previous purchase, open Settings in the app and tap Restore Purchases. PRIVACY Split Video reads your photo library only to let you browse and export videos you choose. No video data is transmitted to any server. All processing happens entirely on your device. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 17 or later • iPhone or iPad • Photos library access (required for export; browse-only also supported) TERMS & IN-APP PURCHASES Split Video Premium is a non-consumable in-app purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation. The purchase is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on any device signed in to the same account. For full terms, see our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy linked below.
