How it works

Raw clip to VFX shot.
Three taps.

  1. 01

    Open a clip

    Any short video, or record one with your camera. Punches, dances, trick shots, anything with a subject you can point at.

  2. 02

    Tap where it goes

    Tap a hand, a person, an object, or just a spot in the scene. FlareCut traces the outline and follows it through every frame, even as it moves and turns.

  3. 03

    Pick it. Post it.

    Choose an effect, dial in color, size and intensity, and export a clip with sound that's ready for TikTok and Reels.

The old way
  1. Place motion trackers by hand
  2. Link tracking to an invisible layer
  3. Build the effect in a plugin
  4. Mask everything that passes in front
  5. Tweak until it blends

From hours to days. Per shot.

FlareCut
  1. Tap.
  2. Pick.
  3. Post.

Built to take seconds.

They stick to the action.

Not just effects

Made for the edit,
not the effect.

  • Follows a body part

    Tap a person and pick the head, eyes, a hand, a foot or the whole body. The effect stays on it, frame by frame.

  • Or stays put

    Explosions, splashes, titles and rain pin to a spot in the scene, or cover the whole frame, and stay there as the camera moves.

  • Impacts on the moment

    Hits, shockwaves and comic words land on one frame with a camera jolt and a flash. Stretch one out for slow motion.

  • In front of you, or behind

    Hide the background, put big words or an effect behind the person, and filter only the subject or only the scene.

  • Sound built in

    Every effect and hit comes with its own sound, mixed under your clip. Turn each one up, down or off.

  • Stays on your device

    Clips are tracked, edited and exported right in the browser. They never get uploaded anywhere.

Built in public.
By someone who hates 3-hour edits.

I love VFX videos but hate how long they take, so I'm building the tool I wanted. Follow along for the wins, the fails, and the first time the fire actually tracks a fist.
