Faster clips when you edit
Extra footage for extending a clip is now prepared only when you open the trim editor. Your finished clip stays exactly the same.
WHAT’S NEW
New features and useful improvements, newest first.
Extra footage for extending a clip is now prepared only when you open the trim editor. Your finished clip stays exactly the same.
More controls now have names that work reliably with screen readers and keyboard navigation.
The weekly tips box on sign-up now starts off. Turn it on only if you want those emails.
You can still sign in with email, a password, or your connected sign-in account. The unused sign-in option is no longer offered.
ReelUse for Mac and Windows is now signed and notarised, so your computer should not warn you when you open it, and new versions install from inside the app. It checks on launch and every few hours.
Choose Reduce background noise on the Audio chip before you start a talk. Speech is cleaned up, your music and outro are left alone, and the choice is remembered for next time.
Continue with Google now sits beside the email link and your password, on the same account. Sign in one way first and choose Google with the same address, and the two are linked.
We no longer label a clip that holds a still frame from your recording. We process the source exactly as you give it, so check it plays cleanly before you submit it.
The plans page, the billing page and the guides now agree on who takes each payment: Polar for US dollars, Paystack for naira, with VAT included in naira prices and the transaction fee shown at the payment step.
The privacy policy now lists the kinds of page where measurement tools load, and describes the value sent to advertising platforms as pseudonymised rather than anonymous.
We no longer hold back clips when your recording shows slides or a moment where the stream skipped a frame. You get your full set every time. If a clip includes a still picture, that came from your original recording, and the audio is unaffected.
Running job cards explain when source footage above 1080p may take extra time to process. Finished clips remain available to preview while the rest are prepared.
Retried talks no longer trigger delay warnings based on an earlier attempt. Processing capacity adjusts reliably again, and recently ended replays are tried before being rejected as unavailable.
Put your logo and your social handle exactly where you want them on the clip, and set the size of each, with simple sliders in Branding. A live preview shows where they will sit before you run a talk. Available with the Growth brand kit.
Pro teams can keep several named looks, each with its own captions, colour, logo, outro, frame and music. Build them on the Looks tab, give each member a default, and everyone's clips carry the right one. A member can still pick another for one talk.
Pick a caption style, font, colour grade, music and outro for one talk from the Look chip on the start box, with a live preview. Branding stays as it is, and the talk's card shows what it was made with.
Heros joins the caption fonts. It is neutral, no-nonsense lettering that stays out of the way of the words. Choose it under Font in Branding.
Caption placement in the Branding preview now matches the finished clip, including stacked styles such as Ladder.
See the amount due before confirming a bigger plan. You can upgrade after payment or schedule the change for renewal. Downgrades and billing-frequency changes take effect at renewal.
Change a colour, font or branding setting and it saves automatically. The page confirms when your changes are saved.
Each team member can choose a default from the shared overlay library. The owner manages the library, while each person keeps the right look on their clips.
ReelUse uses the best available video quality, up to 4K, and follows the speaker more reliably in wide shots and lower-resolution footage. Larger sources can take longer to process.
Long services and talks can now be processed up to six hours. Trim to the part you need to use fewer talks from your allowance.
Turn your outro off for new clips without deleting the file. Switch it back on whenever you need it.
Downloaded clips are named after their opening line, making them easier to find in a folder.
Share a finished talk by link so someone can watch and download its clips without an account. Talks stay private until you share them, and you can disable the link at any time.
Use Report a problem beside the chat to tell us what happened. Add the affected talk and a screenshot to help us investigate.
New styles include Rider, Typewriter, Ladder, Neon and Sticker, with controls suited to each look. Preview your choice in Branding on the web or in the Mac app.
Download guides for clipping, livestream sound, camera work, volunteer handovers and service planning. All are free, with no email required.
Start a paid plan during a gift and the unused gift time waits until that plan ends. It resumes automatically.
Gifts bought in Nigeria are priced in naira and include the local plan allowance. Pay by card; bank transfer and USSD are no longer offered.
Choose System, Light or Dark from your account menu. System follows the appearance setting on your computer.
Ask about a run, clip or plan in the chat. Attach a screenshot or file, revisit earlier conversations and receive replies by email.
Drag the trim handles to set the start and end of your recording. See the selected duration and how many talks it will use before you begin.
Choose None under Caption style to get clips without burned-in words. Available on the web and in the desktop app.
The Terms, Privacy and Refunds pages now include summaries and navigation to help you find the information you need. The refunds page explains eligibility and how to request a refund.
Usage now shows the talk allowance used by each run and identifies refunded runs. When your allowance runs out, you can see when it resets.
Open the first finished clips while the rest are still rendering. Progress shows how many clips are ready.
When a video has a recognisable sermon chapter, ReelUse can fill in the trim window for you. Review or adjust it before starting, on the web or in the desktop app.
Clips are stored for 30 days on Free, 90 days on Starter, a year on Growth and while subscribed on Pro. We email you a week before expiry so you can download what you need.
The allowance unit changed from 90 to 60 minutes. A recording between 60 and 90 minutes now uses two talks. Trim to the section you need before starting.
Change the music on a single clip without rerunning the whole talk. Available with the Growth brand kit.
Settings lets you choose whether to receive product updates and whether your content helps improve clip selection. You can also sign out all devices.
Open Post kit from a clip’s menu for its title, post captions and references. Copy each item separately or take everything together.
Pro includes 10 people including the owner, with separate sign-ins, a shared library, brand kit and talk allowance. Invite people from Settings; billing stays with the owner.
Give someone 3, 6 or 12 months of Starter or Growth. Pay once, add a message and choose a delivery date. They redeem the gift without a card, and it does not renew.
Accounts in Nigeria have naira pricing and local talk allowances. Your pricing and billing pages show the currency and allowance that apply to you.
Describe a story, topic or passage you want ReelUse to look for. Available on Growth and above.
Caption accuracy and clip boundaries have improved, helping clips open naturally and keep the words in step with the speech.
