THE THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING.
A few answers.
Then back to making.
Do I need video-editing experience?+
No. Start with a photo or short clips, then make focused choices about movement, text, branding, and sound. There are more hands-on tools when you want to explore further.
Can I use my own photos and clips?+
Yes. Your own media is the starting point. The examples on this page use prepared marketing assets so you can see the possibilities before opening the creator.
Does every reel use AI?+
No. The core reel tools work with your existing media. Magic Photo is a separate, optional way to create an AI-assisted image variation.
Can I create on my phone?+
This website works on mobile. The creator is currently designed for desktop, where there is space for precise framing, layers, and export controls.
Can I sign up now?+
