Coming soon to the App Store · iPhone and Mac

This fast

Six steps from the app, recorded on an iPhone. Each clip is a few seconds, sped up where the app thinks. Videos without sound.

  1. 1Drop in your set

    Pick the video from Photos. The app listens through the whole set and finds the drops.

  2. 2Just nudge it

    Lead-in, drop and end sit in the clip lane. Move them with one finger.

  3. 3Art effects

    Mirror world, neon edges, glitch, tunnel and more, on the beat.

  4. 4Pick a hook

    Ready hooks by theme or your own text, in many fonts and colours.

  5. 5Countdown to the drop

    Numbers or a line like “Wait for the drop” count down to the drop.

  6. 6Zoom by hand, then save

    Set zooms while it plays, “Sync” puts them on the beat. The reel goes straight to Photos.

What it does

Drop ranking

It listens through the whole set, finds every drop and ranks the moments by strength. The best ones come first, each with a short lead-in before the drop.

Follows the DJ

From a wide video it cuts the 9:16 part and keeps the DJ in the middle, even across camera cuts. Tap someone else and it follows them.

Hook picker

Ready hooks by theme (POV, tension, studio, club) in English and German, or your own text, in many fonts and colours. They sit in the area Instagram doesn’t cover.

Art effects

15 effects such as mirror world, neon edges, glitch, tunnel pull and strobe until the drop. Or one tap on “Brutal” for the full colour explosion.

Everything on the beat

It finds the tempo of every clip. Zooms, beat pulses and effects sit on the kick, and the drop is the first big push. A countdown to the drop if you want one.

Many reels in one go

Tick several clips, give each its own name and save them together. Templates keep your favourite look.

Good questions

Which systems?

Drop Cutter runs on iPhone and Mac. The other tools are built for the Mac; the plugins are tested in Ableton Live 12. Windows and other DAWs are not checked yet.

Who makes them?

Amare Tools is a one-person studio. Every tool started because a real session needed it.

What does it cost, and when?

Price and date are not set yet. The tools are in development. Join the waiting list to hear both first.
