Sharing and exporting

RepRecap clips already live in the iPad's Photos library — see Saving clips. Sharing is mostly a matter of getting them from there to wherever you want them: a text message, an AirDrop, an email, a cloud service.

RepRecap itself has no network access. Every send happens through iOS's normal sharing flow.

Two paths

There are two ways to share a clip or reel:

1. From RepRecap — open the clip or reel in RepRecap and tap Share. This opens iOS's share sheet directly. Pick a destination (Messages, Mail, AirDrop, etc.) and send.
2. From Photos — open the team album in the Photos app, pick the clip, and use the standard Photos sharing flow.

Both reach the same place. The RepRecap path is faster when you already have the Library open. The Photos path is convenient when you want to send several files at once across multiple destinations.

Sharing a single clip from RepRecap

1. Open the Library tab.
2. Tap a clip.
3. Tap Share (bottom of the clip view).
4. Pick a destination from the share sheet.

A confirmation appears once the send is done (or when the share sheet hands off to the destination app).

Sharing a reel from RepRecap

1. Open the Reels tab.
2. Tap a reel.
3. Tap Share.
4. Pick a destination.

Reels are bigger than individual clips, so the share dialog may take a second to appear. Keep the app open during the prepare step.

Sharing multiple clips at once

If you want to send a batch of clips without building a reel:

1. In the Library, tap Select (top-right).
2. Tap multiple clips.
3. Tap Share in the bottom action bar.
4. Pick a destination.

The clips are sent as separate files, in the order they were saved in RepRecap.

Common destinations

Text message (Messages app). Most common workflow. From RepRecap, tap Share → Messages → pick a recipient → send. For reels longer than ~100 MB, SMS may fail silently — use AirDrop or email instead.

AirDrop (iPad to another Apple device nearby). Tap Share → AirDrop → tap the recipient's name. Fast and reliable.

Email. Tap Share → Mail. Compose and send. Most email providers handle attachments up to ~20 MB; reels often exceed this. For longer reels, share via iCloud link or a cloud service.

Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud. Tap Share → pick the cloud app from the share sheet. The clip uploads to your cloud storage; from there you can send a link.

Send a parent the season reel. Build a reel, tap Share, pick Messages or Mail, send. No accounts, no cloud uploads, the file is delivered the way any other photo would be.

Deleting after sharing

Sharing a clip doesn't change anything about where the clip is stored — it stays in the RepRecap Library and the Photos team album as before. The recipient has their own copy.

If you want to remove the clip from your iPad after sharing, delete it from the RepRecap Library. See Storage and cleanup for the full cleanup workflow.

What if I want to back up everything?

If you have iCloud Photos enabled, your RepRecap clips back up automatically — they're in your Photos library, so they sync to iCloud like everything else. Verify at iCloud.com → Photos.

If you don't use iCloud Photos, the manual backup path is:

1. Open the Photos app on the iPad.
2. Go to the RepRecap — album.
3. Select all, tap Share, pick your destination (Google Drive, OneDrive, an external drive via Files, etc.).

Doing this once at the end of a season is plenty for most coaches.
