Reel Creator

Turn long videos into vertical reels

Give Raymarch a long video and a short brief. It finds strong moments and makes 9:16 reels that you can edit.

Pro plan

The Reel studio setup with one video, a brief, the Story focus, the pacing and the target length.
1 to 5 reels
One run makes up to 5 reels.
8 to 60 seconds
About 15, 30 or 45 seconds, or up to 60.
Editable
Each reel opens as a normal 9:16 project.

Input

Give it footage and a brief

  • One or more videos from your computer.
  • The spoken language.
  • A brief of up to 1,200 characters. For example: "Find funny exchanges. Leave out the sponsor reads."
  • For a file with more than one audio track, the track to use.

How it works

From a long video to finished reels

  • It transcribes the video.
  • It finds moments that match your brief and your focus.
  • It cuts each reel and removes dead air.
  • It checks each reel again and fixes weak cuts.
  • It reframes each reel to 9:16. It follows faces, and it uses a centre crop when it finds no face.

Direction

Choose the focus and the pacing

  • Focus: Comedy, Insight, Conflict, Emotion, Education, Story or Action. You can add your own topics.
  • Natural pacing keeps the pauses.
  • Balanced pacing removes dead air and repetition.
  • Punchy pacing makes speech tighter and adds more camera cuts.

Finish

Captions, punch-ins and an opening title

  • Speaker punch-ins change the framing at speech breaks.
  • Automatic captions follow the speech.
  • An opening title starts the reel.
