Under NBA rules, a legal made full-court field goal at the basket your team is attacking is worth three points. Extra distance does not add a bonus. Use HoopCut to add a tracer to your own recorded attempt while keeping the original.

- Hot Shot highlight

- Start a competition
Start a shot competition by agreeing on the format before the first attempt: locations, time limit, scoring and how results will be recorded. Keep that complete record available. HoopCut can add a visible trail to one saved shot afterward, as a separate highlight of the activity.
