Use ClipPin on More Than One Device

Sign in on your iPad and your games come with you — and what stays on the phone that filmed.

Sign in to the same account on each device and your season follows you.

  1. Install ClipPin on the other device — it's on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
  2. Sign in with the same account — Sign in with Apple or the same email.
  3. Give it a moment. Your games appear on their own.

What travels

Your games and tournaments, scores, every marked play, and your clip library — with the pictures, so it looks right straight away.

What stays where it was filmed

The full-game video. A game is several gigabytes, so it stays on the device that recorded it rather than filling up the others.

Your clips do travel. After you save a clip, ClipPin uploads it over Wi-Fi so it plays on your other devices and on the web. That's on by default; the Upload clips to web switch in the ⋯ menu on the Clips screen turns it off if you'd rather keep videos on one device.

Making clips happens where you filmed

Because the full-game video stays put, new clips get cut on the device that recorded the game. Open that game's Clips screen anywhere else and you'll see all your marked plays, with a note that it was filmed on another device — no prompt to go hunting for a file that isn't there.

Clips you've already saved play normally on every device, so an iPad is a fine place to watch and share them. To trim a new one, or re-edit an old one, pick up the device you filmed with.

Filmed an older game with a separate camera? That footage lives on the memory card, so you can import it on whichever device has the card reader.

Nothing appearing?

  • Both devices signed in to the same account?
  • Look for Not synced or Sync failed on the home screen — tap it to try again.
  • No signal at the field is fine. ClipPin catches up when you're back online.

One important warning

A device holds one account's games at a time. If you sign in with a different account, ClipPin tells you first and clears this device's games to make room. Read that screen before tapping through.
