How it works

From SD cards to a finished edit.

This is what happens to a real night of footage, step by step.

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.

Add the clips and Setclipper builds the timeline.

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

The cameras line up on their own.

AI Sync matches the audio so every angle is in time, then labels each camera as Drop, Pre Drop, Crowd or Equipment.

Auto Edit cuts the whole set for you.

Cuts land on the beat, and each shot comes from the camera that suits the moment, not a random one.

A vertical reel for every drop.

The 9:16 frame follows the DJ as they move. If a crop is off, place the 9:16 frame yourself.
