HoopCut/Shot Tracer

HOOPCUT / BASKETBALL VIDEO TOOLS

HomeCourt app and shot tracer clips from your practice

The HomeCourt app search may lead you toward training activities, setup or account information. Use the official provider for those needs. If you also have a practice video saved on your device, HoopCut offers a separate way to add a visible shot trail.

For a stationary shooting drill, keep one attempt with the release and basket in view. Save the complete recording first, then make a traced excerpt that friends can watch without losing the shot’s finish.

HoopCut is independent of HomeCourt.

    Export your highlight

    Download the free Firework export and keep the original recording.

Keep the app activity and recording connected

Write the activity name beside the recording date in your own notes. Locate the actual video file before beginning an edit, and retain its original name or identifier. That gives you a clear link between a practice session and the short clip you eventually share.

Find the saved file

Play the recording from your device storage first; an activity visible inside another app may not be an exported video.

Keep session context

Label the edited copy with the same date and activity so you can find the full practice recording later.

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 app: questions and answers

Does HoopCut connect to my HomeCourt account?

No. Use a recording already saved on your device. The tracer workspace does not retrieve HomeCourt activities, credentials or videos from your account.

What should I keep beside a traced practice clip?

Keep the original file and a short session note with the date and activity. The visible trail does not preserve a separate training record.

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.
