Highlighter: Highlight Videos

Stop editing. Start Highlighting.

Create highlight videos instantly with Highlighter. Mark key moments while you record using your phone, smartwatch, or Bluetooth remote, then stitch them into a highlight reel when you finish.

Highlighter saves you time. Editing shouldn't be done on your phone. No timeline. No trimming. No dragging clips around. Highlighter lets you capture the moment first and turn long recordings into shareable highlight videos in seconds.
Highlighter saves you storage. You no longer have a gallery is cluttered full of full recording sessions videos to be edited in the future.

HOW IT WORKS
Open the app. Hit record. Your camera starts a continuous session. Prop it up on a tripod if you're marking the moments remotely.
When something good happens, tap the highlight button on your phone or remotely via your Bluetooth earbuds or your smartwatch. That's your only job. Keep recording, keep tapping.
When you're done, hit 'stitch'. Highlighter pulls every moment you marked and stitches them together into one video. A complete highlight reel, ready to watch, save, send or even edit further if you'd like to.

There's no need to watch the whole thing back to find the good parts. You already told the app what mattered — it just puts it together.

FEATURES
◆ One-Tap Clipping - During recording, tap once to mark a moment. Pick configurable clip lengths of up to 30 seconds with either backward, forward or both directions from mark.
◆ Forward and/or Backward Capture - Mark what just happened, or mark what's about to happen. Backward mode grabs the moment before your tap. Forward mode grabs what comes next.
◆ Lead-In Offset - Your reaction time isn't instant. Add up to 10 seconds of buffer so the clip doesn't include the parts where you fiddle with your watch.
◆ Bluetooth Remote Trigger Pair your wireless earbuds, headphones, or any Bluetooth device capable of media control. Activate play/pause control to trigger a highlight without touching your phone. Configure an optional feedback audio beep to confirm your mark.
◆ Live Configuration - Change your highlight duration or capture direction mid-session. Adjust on the fly when the situation changes.
◆ Transition Options - Choose how your highlight montage is stitched: with or without transition. Choose from a preset list of curated transitions.
◆ Auto Montage - When the session ends, your phone builds the montage locally. No server, no cloud. It happens right there on your device.
◆ Preview - Watch the montage back and if you're not happy, throw it in the trash and save the full recording for post editing.
◆ Gallery Save and Share - You can drop the finished montage straight into your camera roll or share it directly to Instagram, TikTok, iMessage, WhatsApp, email — whatever you choose.
