HOW REELUSE WORKS
From your first video
to your first post.
What to add, what ReelUse does, and what you can change before you share.
01 / SET UP YOUR VIDEO
Choose your
starting point.
Paste a supported video link in your browser, or choose a file in the Mac or Windows app.
A finished livestream replay works. Use the original file when the link is private or lower quality.

Copy the link to your video or finished livestream.
Workflow illustration
A whole service?
Keep just the message.
Drag the two handles to where the message starts and ends. ReelUse looks for clips only inside that window. When a video link has chapters, ReelUse finds the message for you.
Illustrated example. One video from your allowance covers up to 60 minutes of the section selected.
One video,
a different look.
Pick a caption style, font, color grade, music and outro for a single video from the Look chip, with a live preview. Color grade, music and outro need Growth. Your saved branding stays as it is, and the video's card shows what it was made with.
On Pro, teams keep up to 12 named Looks, one per campus or one per service, and each person sets the one their runs use. See how Looks work
Reduce the
background noise.
Choose Reduce background noise on the Audio chip before you start. Speech is cleaned up, your music and outro stay as they are, and the choice is remembered for the videos that follow.
Have something
specific in mind?
Moments: tell ReelUse the part you want, and it looks for it. Open it and describe a story or topic in plain words.
Clips that match your request come first, followed by the video’s other strongest moments.

02 / GET YOUR CLIPS
Your results,
in one place.
ReelUse finds the strongest moments, frames them vertically and adds captions. Finished clips appear in your library, strongest first.
Expect 5 to 10 clips from a full-length video, with the first clips usually ready in 10 to 15 minutes. Review them while the rest finish.
A run that fails doesn’t count toward your allowance, and Try again carries on from where it got to. On a Pro team, everyone sees every run, labeled with who made it, and can show just one person’s runs.
03 / MAKE CORRECTIONS
A name misheard?
Fix that word.
Open a clip’s ··· menu and choose Edit captions. Change a word, remove one with its ×, or add a missing one with the +, then choose Save and update clip.
Clip starts a beat late or ends too soon? Choose Trim / extend from the same menu and drag either end, up to about 12 seconds each way. Only that clip is updated, and it uses nothing from your allowance. On Growth and Pro, Set music changes the track on one clip.
A name in the video
Try changing “Sara” to “Sarah”.
This example only changes the words shown here.
Tell us the words you use.
Add names and terms to Words we say under Branding on Growth and Pro. Review the captions even with your list saved.
A small step is still a start
You don’t have to have the whole plan. Take the next step.
Sample text to demonstrate the post kit, not a quote from the video.
04 / GET READY TO POST
The clip.
And words to go with it.
Download your chosen clip as an MP4. Its captions and applied branding are already in the video.
Open its post kit for suggested titles and post captions. Copy a draft, make it sound like you, and post it with your clip.
Need a yes first? Press Share on a finished run to make a private link. A teammate can watch and download the clips without an account, and Stop sharing turns the link off.
The post kit is separate from the spoken words in your video. ReelUse doesn’t publish to your social accounts.

How long should a sermon clip be?+
You choose for each video: Short clips run up to 60 seconds, Standard up to 90 seconds, and Long up to 2 minutes. Each one holds a complete thought, with a beginning and an end.
What aspect ratio do sermon clips need?+
9:16 vertical, the shape Reels, Shorts and TikTok expect. ReelUse turns your wide video into a vertical clip and keeps the speaker in frame.
What if the speaker moves around on stage?+
The framing follows the speaker as they move. When the camera changes, the frame re-centers on the speaker at the cut.
How do we avoid taking a clip out of context?+
ReelUse looks for moments that stand on their own without the build-up before them, and you watch every clip before anything goes out. Review each cut to check that its meaning still holds. ReelUse never posts for you.
Do I need editing experience?+
No. ReelUse handles the first selection, vertical framing and captions. You review the clips and fix anything you want changed.
Can I use a whole service or a long episode?+
Yes. To clip part of a video, set where the message starts and ends, and the welcome, music and announcements stay out. One video from your allowance covers up to 60 minutes of the section you choose, so a longer section uses more. A video can be up to six hours long.
How many clips will I get, and how long does it take?+
Expect 5 to 10 clips from a full-length video. The first clips are usually ready in 10 to 15 minutes, and the rest appear as they finish. A shorter video can give fewer clips, and a longer one takes more time.
How long can I keep and edit the clips?+
On a paid plan, or once you have ever paid, your clips are kept. A Free account that has never paid keeps clips for 30 days, so download the ones you want. Caption fixes and trims work while the clip’s original video is still stored. Compare plans
Can I add my own branding?+
Yes. Starter adds caption styles and colors and removes the ReelUse watermark. Growth and Pro add the full brand kit: logo, outro, overlays, music at the loudness you choose, and a slightly faster pace that keeps the voice’s pitch. Pro adds up to 12 named Looks. Set it up in Branding, and it applies to your next video.
Does my full recording leave my computer?+
With the desktop app, your full recording stays on your computer. The audio is sent so it can be turned into text, and finished clips go to your library. When a clip is made online, the short piece of video for that clip is sent to make it. Read the privacy details
Does it work in my language?+
Yes, in 28 languages. ReelUse hears which language is spoken and captions it: Bulgarian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch (including Flemish), English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German (including Swiss German), Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
What can I try for free?+
One video up to 60 minutes each month, with no card required. Free clips carry the ReelUse mark. Review and download them, then decide whether to upgrade.
