The Drop Cutter window: a rave clip in reel view with the hook “POV: the rave starts at sunset”, the intensity curve below, the best moments and the hook list on the right

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.
