precision clip editor live footage
Precision clipping built for multi-phone source video
Precision clipping turns Relive crowd source video into stakeholder-ready subclips. Set in and out with keyboard shortcuts, choose aspect presets for Stories, feeds, or landscape, mute when needed, and attach typed markers so packages keep meaning. Editors work inside Pro Tools — trim, reframe, watermark, and fade — then save into reels or the render queue without rebuilding the night in a separate NLE for every vertical cut.
Who it's for
Content editors and social producers on artist, team, venue, and brand desks who cut verticals and recaps from Relive’s synchronized crowd angles. If you need a precision clip editor for live footage with 9:16 presets and marker attach inside Pro Tools — not a consumer trimmer — this is the workflow.
Why teams need this
Export roulette in generic editors
Pulling every phone into a desktop NLE just to cut three 9:16s burns hours. You need in/out and aspect presets where the corpus already lives.
Lost story context
Clips without marker attach become mystery files in Slack. Stakeholders cannot tell which drop or goal they approved.
Inconsistent social framing
Without crop focus and aspect presets, every editor guesses vertical framing differently across the same encore.
What Relive delivers
Keyboard-speed trims
I/O, frame step, and shuttle cut moments fast on long Relive source videos.
Aspect-ready subclips
9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 presets with crop focus produce social-ready framing before render.
Clips that feed packages
Saved clips flow into reel builder and the export queue with optional marker context attached.
Dig deeper into precision clip editor live footage
Crowd source video is long, multi-angle, and messy at the edges. Precision clipping exposes in/out, frame step, and shuttle shortcuts (Space, I/O, X, ⌥I/⌥O, arrows, J/K/L) so editors land on the cheer, not the pocket-dial. Aspect presets — source, 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 — plus crop focus bias reframing for social without guessing export settings later.
Clips are first-class Pro Tools objects: save them, attach markers, send them to reel builder, and queue ffmpeg renders. Watermark and fade options help stakeholder delivery when partners need branded stills of the moment. The editor sits next to Library, Track Lookup hits, and Island Media so detection and trim stay close.
Honesty: Relive Pro Tools is required. This is not a free web trimmer on arbitrary URLs. You clip published Relive crowd media inside a workspace you can access — then export through the render queue for downloads your roles allow.
How it works
From input to shipped asset
Step 1
Open a source video
From Library, Island Media, Track Lookup hits, or suggestions — open Clip on the published Relive video.
Step 2
Mark in and out
Play to the start → I. Play to the end → O. Use frame keys and shuttle to tighten. X resets; ⌥I/⌥O clears.
Step 3
Choose aspect and options
Pick source, 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9; set crop focus; mute, watermark, or fade as needed; attach a marker when the cue exists.
Step 4
Save and render
Save the clip, add it to a reel if packaging, and queue Save & render — download from Exports when Succeeded.

Scenarios where this feature wins
Vertical encore from the rail
Social editor opens the strongest pit angle, sets 9:16 with crop focus on the mic, attaches the SONG marker, and queues render for Stories.
Goal clip with mute bed
Team desk trims the fan angle, mutes noisy audio for a branded bed later, and exports 1:1 for feed.
Track Lookup hit to clip
After a private reference match, jump to offset, tighten in/out, and save into a Package without leaving the ops loop.
Sponsor read proof
Attach SPONSOR marker, trim the read window, watermark for partner review, and download from the export queue.
Built-in capabilities
Keyboard in/out & shuttle
Space, I/O, reset, clear, frame step, and J/K/L shuttle for frame-accurate fan footage trim.
Aspect presets + crop focus
Source, 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 with reframing bias for vertical and square social.
Marker attach
Bind typed markers so clips carry song, goal, drop, or sponsor meaning into packages.
Render-ready save
Mute, watermark, fade, then Save & render into the Pro export queue.
Compared to the usual options
Versus full NLE for every vertical
Desktop NLEs win complex grade and graphics. Precision clipping wins speed on Relive corpus cuts destined for social and stakeholder proof.
Versus phone trim shares
Camera Roll trims lose multi-phone context, markers, and workspace roles. Pro clips stay tied to Island source and export auditability.
Versus screenshot timestamps
Telling freelancers “cut from 1:02:11” is not a clip object. Saved Pro clips are reusable in reels and renders.

Reel builder
Reel builder assembles ordered highlight packages from Relive Pro clips — Library multi-selects, clip bin saves, and Track Lookup packages — then lets you reorder for narrative before render. Artists, teams, venues, and brands ship stakeholder-ready stories without rebuilding sequences in a disconnected editor. Tag show recaps when tour intelligence should attribute packages to stops; download finished assets from the export queue.
Learn moreRender & export
Render & export queue turns Relive Pro clips and reels into downloadable files. Queue ffmpeg jobs from the clip editor or reel builder, watch progress move Queued → Running → Succeeded, and download finished assets for stakeholders. Built for artist, team, venue, and brand desks who need reliable exports from crowd footage — not a mystery desktop encode on each editor’s laptop.
Learn moreTyped markers
Typed markers give artists, teams, venues, and brands first-class timeline cues on Relive crowd footage — goals, song changes, drops, sponsors, interviews, highlights, and custom labels. Seed with Auto-generate from Shazam song changes, density peaks, moments, and scores, then refine by hand so clipping and reels start from meaning instead of blind scrub. Markers live in Pro Tools workspaces; they are stakeholder storytelling infrastructure, not consumer stickers.
Learn moreTrack Lookup
Find song in fan videos without waiting for Shazam catalog coverage. Relive Track Lookup lets artists, labels, and brands upload a private reference file — WAV, MP3, or FLAC, including unreleased masters — then fingerprints that audio against a scoped Relive fan and crowd video corpus. Matches return with confidence and time offset so you can clip, Package, and Export hits without leaving Track Lookup mode. It is Pro Tools workflow for private reference track matching, not a free public URL-paste Shazam clone and not an open-web or Instagram Stories crawler.
