Each quarter, half, or inning is its own recording. Here's the rhythm.
At the end of a period
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
- 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
- After ending the last period, tap End game.
- Enter the final score — optional, and editable later.
- 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.
