What it does
Send it a raw selfie-style recording and get a finished Instagram, TikTok or Shorts reel. It keeps the best take of each sentence, removes pauses and false starts, times captions to every word while keeping them off your face and the app's buttons, and adds numbers, cards and animated text as you say them. It can also reverse-engineer a reference edit and copy its style.
Use when
- turn a raw talking-head clip into a reel
- copy the style of an edit you paid for
- captions that never cover the face
