Remix your footage

Hand Reela hours of footage and get back a tight edit. Reela watches all of it, finds the moments that matter, and cuts them into a new video with a hook at the start and a reason to keep watching to the end.

There are two ways in:

  • In Create, upload one or more videos and describe the edit. This gives you every option on this page.
  • The Video Remixer skill takes one video and turns it into a narrated edit: Reela writes a new voice-over and cuts your footage to it.

The Video Remixer skill

  1. Open Video Remixer under Skills and upload one MP4 or MOV video.
  2. Pick what to make: a TikTok Short, a YouTube Video, an Ad Video, a Highlight Reel or a Trailer.
  3. Add notes or your own script if you have them, and pick the voice-over language.
  4. Subtitles are off unless you turn them on.

The Remixer takes out your video's original sound and replaces it with a new voice-over and music. To keep the original voices, use Create instead.

Upload your footage

  • MP4 or MOV, up to 500 MB per file.
  • In Create, add up to 30 files to one video.

Say what to use

Reela looks through everything you upload, so you can point it at the parts you want:

  • "Use only the interview parts."
  • "Keep just the product demo."
  • "Open with the crowd shots, end on the speech."

If you don't say, Reela edits like a pro: it opens on your strongest moment and builds to the end.

Keep the real voices

In Create, say whose voices to keep and Reela keeps them, word for word:

  • "Keep the speakers' voices" — interviews, speeches, anything people say on camera.
  • "Keep only the host's voice" — Reela keeps the voices you name.

The picture doesn't have to stay on the person talking. While a voice continues, Reela can cut to other shots from your footage, the way an editor covers an interview.

Or add a new voice-over

Ask for narration and Reela writes and voices a new script over your footage. This is also what the Video Remixer skill does.

Choose the order

  • "Keep the original order" — your footage plays in sequence.
  • Otherwise Reela arranges the moments for the strongest story, for example opening on a moment from later in the footage.

Tips

  • State the goal of the edit, not just the footage: "a 30-second teaser for our launch" works better than "cut this down".
  • Name the length. A short edit from long footage means leaving a lot out, so say what matters most.
  • An edit made only from your own footage costs 3 credits a second, whatever quality level you pick.
  • Everything in Write a good prompt applies here too.
