CricCuts — Intelligent Cricket Video Editor, Free & On-Device

Why CricCuts

Built for the player, not the editor.

Point it at raw session video — filmed on one phone, propped on a kit bag. It does the rest, and the rewinding, scrubbing and cutting just disappears.

Hears every middle

A small AI model on your phone pinpoints each bat-on-ball impact in seconds — even in a busy net with shots flying next door.

Made for real footage

A phone on a kit bag, a camera nudged between overs, nobody behind the lens. CricCuts re-frames itself, so you never set anything up twice.

A reel to your length

It sorts the real shots from the duds and packs your best moments into exactly the length you ask for.

You stay in control

Review every pick on a clean timeline, tap to teach it what’s real, trim, then export. Nothing is decided for you.

Private by design

No upload, no account wall, no cloud bill. Your footage is analysed and rendered on your phone and never leaves it.

Cinematic finish

Slow-mo, instant replay, a comic POW! on the exact frame of contact and animated backdrop scenes — in a couple of taps.

New in CricCuts

Film it. Coach it. Keep it.

The whole net session now happens in CricCuts: film it from behind the stumps, add your coach’s notes to the shots, and keep just the shots when you’re done.

Record your nets Next update

Film the session in CricCuts itself. Stand the phone behind the bowler’s stumps, lock the focus on the far stumps and go. Where your phone has a wide lens, one step out takes in the bowler’s whole action, and the screen goes dark to save the battery through a long session.

One tap to recording Next update

A shortcut, a Quick Settings tile or a home-screen widget opens CricCuts already recording, with the zoom and quality you used last. Tap to lock the focus once it’s rolling — and a start by mistake is one tap to discard.

Coach Notes Next update

Pause on the shot, pin the frame, then type or say a note and draw on it. Share it as a message, a link or a PDF report for parents — or let the notes play inside the reel.

Montages & Scene Tour Next update

Put your best shots from many sessions into one reel — CricCuts suggests a few to start from. Or play one shot in every backdrop scene, back to back.

Keep the shots Next update

A long net session can fill 2–5 GB. Keep just the shots, at full quality, let the original go, and get the space back on your phone.

Ready to share Next update

Every reel gets a cover from its best shot and a share message you can send as it is. The CricCuts mark and your @handle travel with every clip.

From phone clip to reel

Four taps. That's the workflow.

01

Record or pick

Film the session in CricCuts, or pick the videos you already have, and mark when you were actually batting.

02

Auto-detect

On-device AI finds and shortlists your best shots in seconds — no upload, no server queue.

03

Review & pick

Skim the timeline, fine-tune with a few taps, add a coach’s note, and set your reel length.

04

Export & share

Render an MP4 to your gallery, with its cover and a message ready to send anywhere.

CricCuts Academy · free

Learn the game, not just film it.

A free cricket academy rides along with every reel — more than 30 courses and 200 short lessons for players and athletes, school and college students, and umpires. Almost all of it works with no signal.

Courses Next update

Spin, swing and power hitting; your body, food, breathing and mind; history and society. Short lessons with their sources, each ending in a quick check — and at College level, five timed, JEE-style mock tests marked +4 / −1, with a worked solution for every question.

Labs to play with

The Science Lab’s three simulators: change the revs, the seam, the wind or the bat speed and watch the ball spin, swing and fly — then find out why.

Next update A Pocket Lab with a tilt test and a light meter on your own phone, and new labs for data, the brain and art.

Umpiring & the Laws Next update

The 2026 Laws three ways: what’s new, a course to learn them, and the full rulebook. Six practice papers, a timed mock exam — and an LBW game for the hardest call in cricket.

Face the Pace Next update

A warm-up for your eyes: a ball comes down the pitch at 120–150 km/h and you tap as it reaches you — then see how little time each speed gives a batter.

Video library Next update

More than 150 coaching videos from the people who made them, on shelves by skill and level, with the ones for your role moved to the top.

In your language Next update

English on the page, with Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu one tap away on many lessons — and lessons your phone reads aloud, even with the screen off.

हिन्दी · मराठी · தமிழ் · ಕನ್ನಡ · తెలుగు

Find anything — even offline Next update

One search box for every screen, lesson, Law, help answer and video in the app. It runs on your phone, so it answers at a ground with no signal. Or tap the mic and say it: your phone’s own speech recogniser listens, and no audio is ever recorded or sent.

Backdrop scenes

Bat in another world.

Drop your session into a floodlit stadium, a jungle temple or a neon street in the rain. Every scene is painted by code on your phone and built around the batter — and in many, the hit sets something off.

Questions, answered

The quick answers.

Can I try it without filming anything?

Yes — download a free five-minute clip of a real net session, with genuine bat-on-ball sound, and run it through CricCuts to see how it finds and cuts highlights. It's the kind of footage the app is built for, so it's the quickest way to watch a reel come together before you film your own. You'll also find it inside the app, under the FAQ.

What's the ideal way to film?

Stand the phone upright behind the bowler's stumps, leaning on them, with the lens in a gap between two stumps. Zoom in to about 2×, start recording, then tap and hold on the far stumps until the focus locks — your batter needn't be there yet — and leave it alone until you're done. One long, unbroken recording of a fixed view does more for your reel than a newer phone or any setting in the app. Leave room around the batter for the stride and follow-through — then don't zoom or re-aim. CricCuts can film it for you, too: tap the red Record button on Home.

We're batting in adjacent nets — will that confuse it?

It's the hardest case, and worth setting up for: a good shot in the next net sounds almost exactly like a good shot in yours. Draw a snug box around your batter, set where you filmed from and switch on "I can hear others" (Batter mode), and curate afterwards to drop the strays. If you have a say in it, film from an end where the next net isn't directly behind your batter.

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. Never. Your footage is analysed and cut entirely on your phone — not uploaded, streamed or copied to a server, with no setting that changes that. It isn't a promise about how we handle your data; the videos simply never leave the device.

Does it work without internet?

The part that matters does — finding highlights, cutting and exporting all run offline, as do the Academy and the DLS calculator. A connection is only needed for occasional extras like signing in and downloading the commentary keyword model the first time. In the nets with no signal, you're fine.

Do I need an account?

No — "Continue as guest" skips it entirely and everything still works: finding highlights, editing and exporting never needed an account and still don't. Signing in with Google is there if you want your profile and any reels you choose to publish to follow you, and it never changes what's analysed on your phone.
