Recording, the library and editing work on your device without signing in. Sharing to another app or emailing support may require a connection to that service.

New recordings include microphone audio. Camera and microphone permissions are required to record. To share without sound, choose the mute option when exporting your edit.

Choose Kilter Board, MoonBoard, bouldering or lead, then select V grades, YDS, French or tape colors and a grade. Hold color is a separate setting. See the V scale grades chart →

Recording presets are framing guides. The original field of view is preserved. Choose a ratio and Fit or Fill in the editor, then export to apply them to a separate edited file.

New graded recordings automatically show a badge on the library thumbnail, but it is not burned into the original. In Cover or Badge, change the shape, position, size and visibility, then export an edit with those settings. Hiding a badge keeps grade filters available. Grade badge and filter guideexplains how.

Recording settings offer 480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K and the device's highest resolution. Actual support depends on the camera and device. Export offers 720p, 1080p and 4K limits; selecting a higher resolution does not improve the detail of the original.

The hint appears when the preview stays blurry before recording. Remove any obstruction or wipe away dust and fingerprints, then check again. It does not identify the cause of blur, and detection stops when recording starts. You can switch the hint on or off in recording settings.

A temporary loss of input focus alone does not end recording. However, continuous recording is not guaranteed if the OS interrupts camera access, such as during a call, or the app moves to the background. Test briefly and check the saved video before an important recording.

The selected cover represents the video in ClimbCut's library. Choose or confirm the post cover separately on the platform where you upload it.

Deleting the app can remove its private library. Save important files elsewhere first. ClimbCut does not currently provide its own cloud backup or synchronization.

Videos moved to Trash can be restored from the library. Permanently deleted videos cannot be restored in the app. Trash is not emptied automatically.

Videos moved to Trash still occupy storage. Check file sizes in List view, then permanently delete unwanted files from Trash. Make sure you do not need them first: permanent deletion cannot be undone.

Tap Select or long-press a video to select multiple items. You can delete, restore, assign a gym or grade, export, save and share them together.

Export the edit and send it through the system share sheet. Review and finish the upload in the social app. ClimbCut does not post automatically or confirm that a post was published.
