Cuts that follow the transcript
A clip maker that cuts on timestamps makes you scrub to find a clean start. Reelsmith works from the words, so a clip opens on the first line of the idea and ends when the point lands.
Make short, self-contained clips from long recordings. Reelsmith reads the transcript, proposes the cut points, reframes to vertical and captions each clip — and you approve every decision before export.

A clip maker that cuts on timestamps makes you scrub to find a clean start. Reelsmith works from the words, so a clip opens on the first line of the idea and ends when the point lands.
Each snippet comes out at 9:16 with the speaker kept in frame, ready for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, instead of a landscape crop you still have to reframe.
The proposed in and out points, the caption text and the framing are all suggestions. Move a cut by a sentence, fix a name in the captions, and export only when it reads right.
In practice they are the same category of tool. "Generator" usually emphasises finding the moments automatically; "maker" emphasises the cutting and finishing. Reelsmith does both: it proposes moments and then lets you make the final clip by hand where needed.
Yes. Set in and out points directly on the transcript. The suggestions are a starting point, not a gate.
Standard MP4 and MOV exports from cameras, screen recorders and streaming software work. Clear speech matters more than resolution — the clip maker relies on the transcript.
Your first 10 videos are free, up to 1 hour of footage in total. It is a one-time trial on signup with no card and no watermark — not a recurring free plan.
