The NBA 2K clip maker that follows the ball

Stop scrubbing 30 minutes of REC to find your 6 plays.

Drop your full Pro-Am or REC game in, mark the moments you want, and get clean clips out. AutoCam follows the ball and puts it dead-center and big in a clean vertical, instead of a dot in the corner. Both 16:9 and 9:16 from the same game.

Watch it work

A real fast break. Traffic, defenders crossing the screen, a dunk at the rim.

The hardest possession we could find, not a clean iso. Watch the ball stay locked the whole way.

The difference

The only 2K tool that actually follows the ball.

If the ball gets lost, the tool failed. That is the whole bar.

2K is wide. TikTok is tall. Every other tool either crops for talking heads or guesses off the crowd noise, so the ball ends up in the corner and nobody can see the play. Following the ball by hand means keyframing the crop on every single clip. That is the hour you are about to delete.

The way it is now

Scrub the full VOD to find your plays
Hand-keyframe the crop to follow the ball, clip by clip
Auto-reframe tools track faces, not a basketball
Ball ends up tiny in the corner on the vertical
One game = a whole night in CapCut

With AutoCam

Mark your plays on the timeline, only those process
AutoCam locks on and follows the ball automatically
Follows the basketball, not faces like generic auto-reframe
Clean 9:16 with the play centered, plus the 16:9
One game = your clips in minutes
How it works

Three steps to your clips.

01 / Drop

Drop the game in

A 15-second clip or a full 30-minute Pro-Am, REC, or Park game. Short clip? Flip one toggle and the whole thing gets auto-tracked, no marking.

The AutoCam upload screen: drop your 2K clips
02 / Mark

Mark your plays

Scrub the timeline, set in and out on the moments worth posting. Mark 6 or mark 60. Only the clips you mark get processed, so you only pay for the seconds you keep, not the whole game.

03 / Get

Get your clips

Every clip downloads on its own, auto-tracked 9:16 and the original 16:9. Pick the ones you want and stitch them into a reel. Then take them straight into CapCut for captions and your song.

The AutoCam output: vertical 9:16 clips ready to download, group, and post
Full game mode

Turn one long game into a folder of clips.

The part that eats your night: finding the plays in a 30-minute VOD. Mark them once. AutoCam clips and tracks every one, and you only process what you marked.

AutoCam clips for TikTok, Reels, Shorts

The ball stays centered, the play reads at a glance. Post them one by one or stitch the ones you pick into a vertical highlight.

16:9 · Wide

Original clips for your YouTube recap

Keep every clip in full 16:9 too. Pull just your transition offense, or the whole game, into a wide highlight for the channel. You pick the order.

A fast clipper. Not a full editor to learn.

AutoCam does the one thing CapCut makes you do by hand: find the plays and follow the ball. Captions, zooms on the green, your song? That is still you. Everything exports clean into the editor you already use.

FAQ

Clipping NBA 2K, answered.

How do I clip NBA 2K for TikTok?

Drop your full game in, mark the plays you want, and AutoCam exports each one auto-tracked in 9:16 vertical, ready to post. No streaming to Twitch required.

How do I make 2K clips vertical without cropping out the action?

AutoCam tracks and follows the basketball, so it reframes wide 16:9 footage to a clean 9:16 with the play centered, instead of a fixed crop that leaves the ball in the corner.

What's the best app to clip NBA 2K gameplay?

A 2K-specific clipper beats generic auto-reframe tools because it is tuned to 2K's camera and follows the ball. You also keep the original 16:9 and can stitch a highlight reel.

Can I turn a full Pro-Am or REC game into highlights?

Yes. Drop a full 30-minute Pro-Am, REC, or Park game, mark your moments, and only the clips you mark get processed, then stitch them into a reel.

Does it work with PS5 and Xbox recordings?

Yes. Upload the gameplay you captured on PS5, Xbox, or PC. No stream or capture card needed.

How do I make 2K highlights from a 30-minute game?

Mark the moments on the timeline. AutoCam clips and tracks each one and gives you every clip in both 9:16 and 16:9, plus a stitched highlight reel.
