Cut football match scenes without editing software
You watch the match and write down when the scenes happen that you want to show. You type those times in, and you get one video with only those scenes, one after another.
Cut a videoRuns in your browser, best on a computer. Your video is not uploaded.
What coaches use it for
Team talks
Pick the five or six moments you want to talk about after a match and show them before the next session.
Coaching courses
Collect scenes on one topic for an assignment, like pressing or set pieces, and hand them in as one video.
One to one feedback
Show a player all their actions in a row instead of scrubbing back and forth during the conversation.
How to go about it
- Choose the match video, for example the MOV file from an iPhone or the MP4 from your camera.
- Enter start and end for each scene, like
12:05to12:40. You can paste your notes as they are; text around the times is ignored. - Check the preview and click "Create video". The finished file ends up in your downloads.
Time formats it understands
| You write | The tool reads |
|---|---|
3:33-3:42 | from 3:33 to 3:42 |
12:11 to 12:30 | "to" or "until" instead of a dash |
5:10-5:40, 7:00-7:10 | two clips on one line |
1:02:10-1:02:30 | with hours |
102:11-102:40 | minutes past 59, handy for long recordings |
3:33.5-3:42 | half a second more precise |
333-342 | the short form without a colon |
Why nothing is uploaded
Club footage often shows children and teenagers. That's why the video isn't sent to a server but cut on your own device. It also saves you from waiting for a multi gigabyte upload.
Computer or phone
A computer with Chrome or Edge is fastest. Phones work too but take noticeably longer, since the phone has to do all the processing. iPhone recordings often won't open in Firefox, so use Chrome or Edge for those.
Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded?
No. The file is read and cut in your browser. It never reaches us.
Do I need to know video editing?
No. If you can write down times, you'll manage.
How do I write the times?
One scene per line, for example 3:33-3:42 or 12:11 to 12:30. Separate several scenes on one line with commas. Long recordings can use hours (1:02:10) or minutes past 59 (102:11). Fractions of a second go after a dot, like 3:33.5.
Can I combine the first and second half?
Yes. You can choose up to five videos and enter times for each. You change the order with the tabs.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, but it takes a lot longer than on a computer. If you have the choice, use the computer.
Which files work?
MP4, MOV, M4V, MKV and WebM, including full matches of several gigabytes. iPhone recordings open best in Chrome or Edge.
How good is the result?
Cuts are exact to the frame and keep the original resolution. You get an MP4 that plays on almost any device and in PowerPoint.
How long does it take?
That depends on the total length of your scenes, not on the length of the match. The tool starts preparing the scenes while you type, so the last step is usually quick.
Can I leave out the sound?
Yes, under "Sound" in the video settings. The finished video then has no audio track.
Do I need an account?
No. There's nothing to sign up for or install.
What is stored?
Your last list of times stays in your browser so it is still there after a reload. We count how often the tool is used, in more detail only if you agree. The privacy policy has the details.
