Reel formats
The three ready-made reel formats in the AutoReel Studio, what each one is for, and how a build turns your inputs into an editable reel.
On this page
The Studio has three reel formats that build a complete, editable reel from a few inputs, plus direct access to individual models.
| Format | Best for | You bring | AutoReel makes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI UGC video | Product ads, reviews, explainers | A script (or a brief) and optionally a product photo | A voiceover, a lip-synced talking creator, word-by-word captions, an end card |
| Slideshow | Tips, listicles, before/after, launches | A hook and slides (or a topic) | Images for each slide, text, motion, transitions, music |
| Hook + demo | Apps, gadgets, anything you can film | Your demo clip | An AI hook clip with on-screen text and an optional spoken hook |
How a build works
- Plan. When you click Generate, AutoReel checks every model and file you picked and prices each step. The total is the estimate you saw.
- Run. Steps run in the background, in parallel where they can (all slideshow images at once, for example). You can leave the page.
- Assemble. The results are put together into a reel and it opens in the editor, ready to tweak and export.
If a step fails, you're charged only for the steps that finished, and Retry picks up from where it stopped. See credits and billing.
Choosing models
Each step uses a model you can change: the voice, the talking-avatar model, the image model, the video model. Defaults are picked for quality and price, and every choice shows how it changes the estimate. Premium models need the Pro or Agency plan. Browse the current catalogue in the model directory.
Direct model access
Need a single clip, image or voiceover? Create → Text / image to video, Image and Voiceover give you every setting of each model with a live credit estimate. Results land in your library, and you can drop them into any reel in the editor.
Start from a template
Every format has templates with a proven structure and starter copy. Using one pre-fills the build page; you add your own product and media.
