THE IDEA
What is basketball auto clipping?
Basketball auto clipping helps turn a longer recording into individual moments you can review. Instead of looking through the whole game every time you want to share a play, you work from a set of candidate clips. The important next step is still yours: check the action, keep useful context, and choose what belongs in the reel.
This page is an interactive preview of that review stage. Its ten clips come from an existing basketball highlight reel. Clicking a marker jumps to a prepared shot; selecting a checkbox adds that shot to your shortlist. No new AI analysis takes place in the browser, and the 52-second sample is already edited rather than an uncut game.
If you need a complete editing workflow, read how to make a basketball highlight video from game footage. Use this demo to try the selection experience before moving to your own recording.
TRY IT YOURSELF
How to use this interactive demo
Preview the prepared shots
Choose a numbered marker on the timeline or a preview button beside a clip. Each preview begins at that shot’s start and stops at its end. Look for enough lead-in to identify the player and understand the possession, rather than judging only the final basket.
Choose what belongs in your shortlist
Use the checkboxes to keep or remove individual moments. Select all is a useful starting point if you want to review everything; Clear lets you begin from an empty list. The selected runtime updates as you change the list, so you can see how your choices affect its length.
Play the selected clips in order
Press Play selected clips to watch only the checked moments. Unselected clips are skipped, and playback follows the source order. This is an in-browser preview, not a newly rendered or downloadable video. To change the sequence, stop and revise the shortlist.
Review before sharing your own edit
In a real project, verify the selected player, beginning and end of each play, and the saved output. The sample does not establish processing speed or detection accuracy for your recording. Camera position, obstructions and video quality can change what a system is able to detect.
BEFORE YOU SHARE
What to check in your basketball footage
| Check | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Player identity | Keep a view of the jersey or player before the decisive action. Similar uniforms can make identity difficult to judge. |
| Start and finish | Include the movement that creates the chance and the outcome. A basket alone may not explain the possession. |
| Ball and hoop visibility | Check whether the camera keeps the relevant action in frame. Editing cannot restore a play that was never recorded. |
| Duplicate moments | Remove repeated evidence unless another angle adds useful information. Keep original files for later corrections. |
TWO DIFFERENT JOBSAuto clipping finds the moment.
Auto clipping finds the moment.
Tracer shows the flight.
Clipping and Shot Tracer solve different problems. Auto clipping helps locate and separate moments from footage. A trajectory effect helps viewers follow a basketball shot within a chosen clip. You can review the selection first, then decide which shots benefit from an effect.
The sample reel on this page already contains trajectory effects. Those effects are baked into the video and are not created by the shortlist controls. Open the basketball Shot Tracer interactive demo to inspect prepared trajectories with shot selection, replay and half-speed playback.

GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Can I upload a basketball video to this demo?
No. This page plays an existing sample reel and lets you preview and select its prepared clips. It does not upload, analyze or store your footage. Processing your own recording belongs in the Hoopcut iPhone app.
Are these clips being detected live?
No. The ten sample clips are already prepared. The timeline and shortlist demonstrate how reviewing a result works; they do not run an AI detector in your browser.
Does automatic clipping always find every basket?
This demo cannot establish that. In real footage, camera movement, occlusion, lighting and similar uniforms can affect detection. Review both the suggested moments and the original recording for missed or incorrect selections.
Can I download the selected clips as a new reel?
Not from this preview. Play selected clips controls playback of the existing sample; it does not encode or export a new file. Check the current app build for available export options.
Do I need Tracer to make a basketball highlight video?
No. Choosing clear, complete moments is a separate editing task. A shot trajectory is an optional visual aid for an individual shot; it does not replace checking the underlying action.
