End a Period or End the Game

Close out each quarter, and end the game to get your clips.

Each quarter, half, or inning is its own recording. Here's the rhythm.

At the end of a period

  1. Press and hold the HOLD · END button until it fills up. (The hold is on purpose — a stray tap can't end your recording.) Filming with a separate camera instead? The button reads HOLD TO END there.
  2. The camera stays open on a break screen: "Q1 saved · 8 moments," with the score and a big START Q2 button. The names follow your sport — H1, H2 for soccer halves. The break screen between periods, with the score and a START button
  3. Fix the score if you need to, then relax. If the break runs long, the camera goes dark to save battery — starting the next period wakes it.
  4. When play resumes, tap START Q2.

Want to leave the camera during the break? Open the menu and choose Close camera. When you're ready to come back, a red button on the home screen returns you to the game.

At the end of the game

  1. After ending the last period, tap End game.
  2. Enter the final score — optional, and editable later.
  3. You land on the clip screen: one clip for every play you marked, grouped by period. Tap any clip to trim it, or Save all to Photos.

If a phone call cuts in

ClipPin saves the recording the moment the call arrives — nothing is lost. See A Call Interrupted My Recording.
