HoopCut/Shot Tracer

HOOPCUT / BASKETBALL VIDEO TOOLS

HomeCourt research, followed by your own basketball clip

HomeCourt searches often start with the basketball training app. HoopCut is a separate product for working with your basketball footage. If your next task is turning a saved shot into a short visual highlight, this page provides that editing step without connecting to a HomeCourt account.

Imagine you have a sideline recording of a corner jumper after practice. Keep the full recording for context, then make a second version with a visible ball trail for sharing. That edited clip does not become a HomeCourt workout or result.

Find the right destination for a HomeCourt task

For HomeCourt access, membership, or app support, use that product’s official website and support resources. For a video you have already saved, decide whether you need the untouched evidence, a short presentation clip, or both. Keep those files separate so a visual effect cannot be mistaken for an original recording.

Start with the original

Retain the camera file and its date before creating a decorated copy. This makes it easier to return to the complete possession later.

Name the edited version

Use a filename such as corner-jumper-tracer to distinguish an effect export from practice footage, training records, or files belonging to another app.

Prepare a clear basketball shot for the tracer

Keep the basketball, shooting hand and target hoop in the frame. Choose a short passage that starts before the release and ends after the ball reaches the basket. A steady camera and a visible flight give you a clearer view of the added trail.

  1. Use the original saved recording when possible, before social-media compression.
  2. Select a passage of up to 30 seconds that includes the release and finish.
  3. Choose the correct hoop when prompted, especially when several baskets are visible.

Review the basketball trail before sharing

Play the preview through once at normal speed, then check the release, highest point and finish. The effect should follow the visible ball without hiding the action. Keep an unedited copy if you also want to review footwork, timing or the surrounding play.

  1. Check any moment when another player or the backboard blocks the ball.
  2. Export the free Firework effect once the preview is ready.
  3. Save the edited clip separately from the original recording.

HomeCourt: questions and answers

Is HoopCut part of HomeCourt?

No. HoopCut is a separate basketball video product. This page does not provide a HomeCourt login, membership, account connection, or official support service.

Can a HomeCourt search lead to a tracer clip?

Only if your separate task is editing basketball footage you already have. The tracer adds a visual effect; it does not import HomeCourt training records.

Which videos can I use?

Choose a saved MP4, MOV or WebM basketball video up to 512 MB. Select a segment of up to 30 seconds with the ball and hoop visible.

What can I export on this page?

Firework is the free web export. You can preview the other effect styles and follow the HoopCut app link for more effects.

Does the tracer measure shooting accuracy?

No. The tracer is a visual editing effect. It does not provide a shooting percentage, player rating or coaching assessment.
