HoopCut/Shot Tracer

HOOPCUT / BASKETBALL VIDEO TOOLS

Passport basketball app information and shot tracer copies

Keep product identification and video editing as separate tasks when working with a Passport basketball app. Confirm the service’s own features and access requirements first. For a recording already saved on your device, HoopCut can add a visible trail to one clear shot for personal sharing.

For a clip received through a shared link, obtain the actual file through the source’s available download options. Keep the original title and recording date in your notes, then name the traced version as an edited copy.

    Export your highlight

    Download the free Firework export and keep the original recording.

Check whether a shared link contains an available file

A link can point to a page, an account or a playable recording without providing an export. Check the source’s actual download options and use only a file you are permitted to edit. Keep the link in your own notes if it helps identify the original context.

Retain the source reference

Keep a private note of the original link and file name when they help connect the edited excerpt to its recording.

Check playback after saving

Open the downloaded file on your device before editing so you know it contains the intended basketball sequence.

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.

Passport app: questions and answers

Does HoopCut log in to Passport for me?

No. The workspace uses a saved video file and does not access another service’s account, retrieve its private recordings or act as its login page.

Can I paste any shared link into the tracer?

This workflow starts with a saved recording. Obtain an available video file through the source’s own permitted options rather than assuming every link is importable.

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.
