Instagram Reels Maker
Long-form in, a queue of Reels out — captioned, reframed, and scheduled across the week.
No credit card required
Features
Built for the vertical frame
9:16 with the speaker kept centered as the shot moves. On Pro and Scale you can also export 4:5 and 1:1 from the same clip for the feed.
Captions that match your channel
Word-synced captions in your saved fonts, colors, and logo. Set a brand kit once and every Reel comes out looking like it belongs to the same account.
Post straight to Instagram
Connect the account and Reels publish from AutoClip on a spaced schedule — no transferring files to your phone. 9 destinations supported in total.
One source, several platforms
The same pass produces Reels, TikToks, and Shorts. Translate captions and dub the audio into 31 languages on Pro and up if you are posting to a second market.
How It Works
Point it at a long-form video
Any public YouTube, Twitch, or Kick source — podcasts, streams, interviews, lifestyle content.
Reels-shaped moments get built
The strongest segments are cut, reframed to 9:16, captioned, and trimmed to a length that finishes rather than trails off.
Post or schedule
Publish directly to Instagram Reels or spread the queue across the week from the dashboard, on web or the iOS app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I post directly to Instagram Reels from AutoClip?
Yes. Connect the account in settings and Reels publish straight from the dashboard, spaced rather than posted back to back. Auto-posting is included from Starter ($19.99/mo) up, with 3 connected accounts on Starter, 8 on Pro, 25 on Scale.
What's the ideal length for Instagram Reels?
Reels go up to 90 seconds, but completion drops off fast past about 30. The safer instinct is to end on the payoff rather than pad to a number — clips are cut where the thought closes, and you can set a target length if you want them uniformly short.
Do I need captions on Instagram Reels?
Practically, yes. A lot of Reels get watched with the sound off, and a talking-head clip with no on-screen text gives that viewer nothing. Captions are burned into every clip by default and editable on web if a name comes out wrong.
Can I create Reels and TikToks from the same video?
Yes, in one pass. The same clips can go to Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and the other supported destinations from a single queue without re-rendering.
Is the Instagram Reels maker free?
The free tier gives watermarked trial clips and 2 connected accounts. Starter is $19.99/mo with 200 credits — one per minute of source video — 10 videos, watermark-free export, and auto-posting to Reels. Pro is $39.99/mo, Scale $79.99/mo.
What kind of source content makes the best Reels?
Self-contained moments: a sharp opinion, a short story with an ending, a tip that makes sense cold, a genuine reaction. What fails is anything that needs the previous ten minutes to land — which is exactly why the score breakdown includes whether a segment stands alone.
