Founder / brand clip. Hook up front, 9:16 crop with a subtle push-in, captions and clean audio, polished grade.

What it does

Not a template. An editor that makes decisions.

What to cut, where to zoom, which moment to open on, then it reviews its own cut and fixes what’s off.

A motion graphics library

89 cinematic effects in 8 FX Packs: anamorphic flares, shockwaves, 3D titles, callouts, neon, gold, ink. Placed by AI on your beats, tinted from your footage, editable one by one.

See the library

Finds your hook

We transcribe your footage and open on the strongest moment, front-loaded for the scroll.

Cuts the dead air

Silences and filler words (“um”, “uh”) are trimmed to the word. Every second earns its place.

Captions that read

Word-by-word captions with keyword emphasis, built strictly from what was actually said.

Reframes to the speaker

A 9:16 crop that follows the subject, with measured push-in and punch zooms on the beats.

Beat-synced & ducked

Tempo detection snaps cuts to the beat; music ducks under speech automatically.

Edits to what it sees

A vision model reads your actual frames - favouring the sharp, well-framed shots and keeping the speaker's face centred, never half-cropped. On every paid plan.

Reviews its own cut

Every paid reel gets a self-review pass that flags awkward cuts or unreadable captions and re-renders to fix them. Same on Starter as on Studio.

How it works

You upload one file. You get a finished reel.

No timeline to learn and nothing to set up. This is the same pipeline that runs on every upload, start to finish.

LiveEvery stage above runs on your footage, in this order, on every upload.
01Takes about 20 seconds

Drop in the raw file

One clip, straight off your phone or a two-hour podcast. Pick a style and you are done.

02Runs on its own

It watches, then edits

Finds the hook, cuts the dead air, keeps the speaker centred, writes the captions, grades the colour, then reviews its own cut and fixes what is off.

03Ready in minutes

Watch it and post

One finished 9:16 reel, cut around your strongest moment. Post it, swap the hook, or open the timeline and change anything.

Pricing

Same AI quality on every plan.

Every plan runs the exact same AI editor: vision-aware planning that edits to what's on screen, active-speaker auto-reframe (face always centred), word-by-word captions, beat-synced cuts, colour grade, and a self-review QC pass. Plans differ only on how much you make, how long your source can be, upload size, and the Free watermark - never on quality.

Developer API

Automate it with the API and MCP.

Upload footage and fetch finished reels programmatically over a clean REST API, or let AI agents drive it through the built-in MCP server (Claude and other MCP clients). Create a key, authenticate with a bearer token, and go. Usage counts against your normal plan quota, with nothing extra to buy.

Endpoints
  • POST /api/v1/videos - create + get an upload URL
  • POST /api/v1/videos/{id}/finalize - start processing
  • GET  /api/v1/videos/{id} - status + output URLs
  • GET  /api/v1/videos - list your videos
# 1. Create a video (returns a presigned upload URL)
curl -X POST https://reelsmith.video/api/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REELSMITH_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title":"My clip","platform":"YOUTUBE_SHORTS",
       "editingStyle":"TALKING_HEAD","filename":"in.mp4",
       "contentType":"video/mp4","byteSize":52428800}'

# 2. Upload bytes -> 3. finalize -> 4. poll GET /api/v1/videos/{id}
# when status = READY, "outputs" has the reel's downloadUrl
MCP server for AI agents

A built-in Model Context Protocol server at /api/mcp. Point Claude or any MCP client at it with your key and it can create, track, and fetch videos. No server to host.

Secure by design

Hashed API keys, workspace-scoped access, per-key rate limiting, strict input validation, and responses that return only signed, short-lived media URLs. No secrets or storage keys are ever exposed.

Your next short is one upload away.

Turn the footage you already have into edits worth posting in minutes, not hours.
