Native macOS multicam editor for DJ sets

Raw cameras in. A finished hour-long edit out.

Drop in every angle from the night. Setclipper builds a multicam timeline from them, finds the drops, cuts on the beat the way an editor would, makes vertical reels, and hands you a real timeline to finish.

Recorded straight from the Mac Editor. Not a mockup.

One set in, a feed out

One long video. Dozens of reels.

Every drop becomes a vertical 9:16 clip, ready to post.

Two ways in

Whatever you have, we got you.

Two different tools for two different starting points. Pick yours.

Setclipper for Mac

Raw footage in. A full one-hour edit and the clips out.

Drop in every camera from the night. Press Auto Edit and watch it cut the whole hour, suggest the drops and make a reel for each one.

Web Clipper

A finished video in. Clips out.

Straight from the app

Press Auto Edit. Watch it cut.

This is the real animation Setclipper plays when you press Auto Edit: the compound clip opens into its cameras, and the edit is revealed cut by cut. The edit itself is already done the moment it starts. The animation is just the show.

Recorded from the Mac Editor.

How it works

From SD cards to a finished edit, step by step.

This is what happens to a real night of footage. The same steps a human editor takes, done for you as a first pass.

Camera files in the media pool
Add the clips and Setclipper builds the timeline.

Nothing to pre-sort or rename. Your files are never modified.

Multi-cameraOriginal files, untouched
Camera tracks on one multicam timeline
Your angles on one timeline.

The cameras sit together in one multicam clip, so you can cut between them.

Multicam clipGear cam included
A timeline with numbered drop markers
Drops found and marked on the timeline.

Each number on the timeline is a drop. Setclipper measures the set's tempo and uses it, with the drops, for every cut that follows.

Cuts follow the music, not a timer.

Cuts land on the beat and are laid outward from each drop so it starts a full block. Every length is yours to change.

The thinking behind the cuts

Built around how editors actually think.

Most auto-editors cut on a timer. Setclipper cuts on the music: the beat, the build, the drop, and where each camera is placed.

Rule 1

Beats, not seconds

Clip lengths and camera changes follow the music, so every cut lands on the beat at the set's own tempo.

Rule 2

The drop starts a full block

Cuts are laid outward from the drop, never inward to it, so the drop opens a clean phrase. Before and after lengths are yours.

Clip timing settings
Rule 3

Every camera has a job

Tag each camera: Pre Drop, Drop, Crowd or Equipment.

Four cameras, one of them tagged GEAR
Rule 4

The crop is aimed at the DJ

On close-up cameras the vertical crop is aimed at the DJ, and you can adjust it. Wide cameras stay centred, or at the point you set with Calibrate.

9:16 crop aimed at one DJ
Rule 5

Smooth, not shaky

Pan moves between cuts use the same smoothing in the preview and in the export, so what you watch is exactly what you render.

Reel timeline with the reel lane
Rule 6

You have the last word

Swap a camera, adjust the crop, change the cut lengths, then re-edit. Nothing is locked in.

Not a one-click toy

A real editor, not a one-click toy.

Auto-edit puts the whole set on the timeline. After that, everything is yours to change, with the tools you'd expect.

Works with your editor

Take it into the app you already use.

The edit isn't trapped in Setclipper. Export a timeline and keep working in your NLE with the cuts and markers in place.

Built the slow way

Built for people who film DJ sets.

Setclipper is a native Mac app, built around how DJ sets are actually shot and edited.

Every rule you saw above, beats before seconds, the drop that opens a clean block, a gear camera with its own job, exists because a real edit looked wrong without it.

Plans

Try it free for 7 days.

Every plan includes the Mac Editor. Cancel any time from your account.

Plans start at $39 a month billed yearly, or pay as you go with no commitment. The Mac Editor and the Web Clipper share one credit balance.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do I have to upload my footage?

Not for the Mac app. Cutting and rendering all run on your computer. The Web Clipper is different by design: you give it a link or a finished video, it is processed on our servers and the source video is deleted after 7 days, and rendered clips after 30 days. See the Privacy Policy.

What Mac do I need?

A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) running macOS 14 or newer.

Will it replace my editing software?

No, and it isn't meant to. It does the long first pass, then you finish in Setclipper or export the timeline to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

Is the edit really automatic?

The first full edit is. Drops, beat-based cuts and vertical reels start without you. You then review and change anything you like.

What does the free trial include?

Seven days on the plan you pick. A card is required to start, and you can cancel any time from your account before it ends.

Can I use it with a set that is already finished?

Yes, that is what Web Clipper is for. Paste a Google Drive or Dropbox link, or upload the video.

Stop editing sets the slow way.

Start with a free week of the Mac app, or clip a finished set on the web.
