Your round deserves better than a camera-roll dump. SecondCut is a golf-first video editor that turns raw clips into polished, ready-to-share stories. Build an edit in minutes, add score graphics that look made for the footage, trace the shot, improve the sound and export in the format your audience expects. EDIT THE WHOLE ROUND β’ Import one clip or a full sequence β’ Reorder, trim, split, crop and reframe footage β’ Adjust speed, mute clips and apply video styles β’ Add text, shapes, stickers, sound effects and voice-over β’ Export portrait, square or landscape video SCORECARDS MADE FOR VIDEO Create a card for one shot, one hole or the full round. Choose a visual style, add player names, par, distance and current score, then position, resize and time each card directly on the video. Build 9-hole or 18-hole cards, save designs for later and give different players their own identities and timeline tracks. GUIDED BALL-FLIGHT TRACERS Add a smooth flight path with SecondCutβs guided tracer. Mark the key moments, choose the club and tune the look before rendering it into your edit. TracerMaxx is also available as an experimental automatic option for suitable footage while the technology continues to improve. COMPARE YOUR SWING Place two swings together, mark impact in each clip and keep playback synchronized. Adjust the overlay and draw directly over the footage to study movement, timing and position. SOUND LIKE THE SHOT FELT Boost impact, add effects or record a clean voice-over without leaving the editor. Every layer remains editable until the video feels right. BUILT FOR GOLFERS AND CREATORS SecondCut works for practice sessions, social clips, lesson recaps, course vlogs and full-round highlights. Your original footage stays untouched, core editing and export happen on your iPhone, and finished videos can be saved or shared when you are ready. Make the shot. Tell the story. Give it a SecondCut.
