Published result → verified video association
Import PractiScore, ESS, HDP, Shoot'n Score It, and IDPA Match Results
Shooting Cut can import supported PractiScore, ESS, HDP, Shoot'n Score It, and IDPA match results for free, let you select the relevant match, shooter, and stage data, and associate that record with the correct video in your archive.
Updated: 2026-08-02
Result import is free and uses the network. The exact fields depend on the source, and the result must still be available when you import it. Treat selection and video association as a review step rather than assuming every online record can be matched automatically.
Choose the import path that published the match
| Result family | User selection | Imported use | Official per-shot boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PractiScore | Match, competitor, stage, and available official record | Match, stage, score, and available timing association | May include official timer and per-shot records when the source result contains them |
| ESS | Portal match, division, competitor, and stage data | Match and score association | No PractiScore-style official per-shot anchor |
| HDP | Finished match or scoreboard and competitor result | Match and score association | No PractiScore-style official per-shot anchor |
| Shoot'n Score It | Country directory or pasted match link, division, competitor, and stage results | Match, stage, time, rank, and score association when exposed by the source | No PractiScore-style official per-shot anchor |
| IDPA | Supported match and competitor result | Match and score association | No PractiScore-style official per-shot anchor |
When a PractiScore record contains official per-shot timer data, the shot-time and score overlay guide explains the separate beep-alignment workflow. ESS, HDP, Shoot'n Score It, and IDPA imports remain score associations without that official per-shot anchor.
Select, review, and associate the record
- Choose the result family. Start with the supported PractiScore, ESS, HDP, Shoot'n Score It, or IDPA import path that published the match.
- Open an available result. Use the network to load the match while the selected source still exposes it.
- Select match and competitor data. Choose the intended match, division or category when available, shooter, and stage rather than relying on a universal automatic match.
- Review the imported fields. Confirm the competitor, stage, score, and any source-provided timing fields before saving the record.
- Associate the matching video. Select the video in your archive that belongs with the imported match or stage result.
- Verify the archive entry. Open the saved association and confirm that the result and video describe the same competitor and stage.
Import while the result is still accessible
Shooting Cut requests result data from the selected source only when you initiate an import. If that source changes the published match, removes a result, blocks access, or is temporarily unavailable, a new import may not be possible.
An association you already created can keep the imported record with your video archive, but Shooting Cut cannot retrieve a source record after that source no longer exposes it. The Thailand HDP and ESS guide explains why this boundary is especially important for the Thailand ESS workflow.

Keep the result and video relationship explicit
A match result can describe a match, competitor, division or category, stage, and score, while the video archive contains media selected by the user. Similar dates or names do not automatically associate a result with a video; choose and verify the relationship yourself.
Choose the corresponding video yourself and verify the stage before using the imported fields in an edit. This keeps an archive understandable when one match contains many stages or when a device contains footage from several events.
Frequently asked questions
Which result families can Shooting Cut import?
Shooting Cut currently has free supported import paths for PractiScore, ESS, HDP, Shoot'n Score It, and IDPA results.
Does result import use the network?
Yes. Import requests the selected match from its source and depends on that source still exposing the result.
Does Shooting Cut automatically match every result to a video?
No. You select and verify the relevant match, shooter, stage, and video association.
Do all supported sources provide official per-shot timing?
No. PractiScore may provide official timer and per-shot records when they are present in the source result. ESS, HDP, Shoot'n Score It, and IDPA provide score import, not the same PractiScore-style official per-shot anchor.
