Our team won their semi yesterday and AutoCut had an important role in that. I used it to cut down a bunch of film for the coaches, and using the new tagging we noticed several key trends (it suddenly became clear that the opponent almost always went run middle or run right, and only ever went run left of the right hash, and barely passed left ever, etc).

As a result we adjusted our D-Line plays and we kept them to zero 1st downs. Was still a very close game (14-12), but I am positive AutoCut analysis was a key difference! So big thanks from the Park City Miners - 2026 Mity Mite team! On to the Wildcat Bowl final next week......

Quick Analysis

If your sideline film shows score, down & distance, quarter, and time remaining as on-screen graphics (a score bug), AutoCut Football can also read them to help you understand the clips, identify any potential issues with the cuts, and quickly cut out any extra pre-game, halftime, and post-game footage. Without those on-screen graphics in the video, these fields aren't filled in automatically.
