Guide

From your first idea to a finished reel. Three steps to get started.

Make your first reel

Create. Enter a topic, choose your language and style, then select Generate preview.
Review. Play the draft, edit the text and update the voice if you change what it says.
Download. Choose Export to create the finished video for 1 credit, then download the MP4.

The optional walkthrough highlights the controls. You can skip it or restart it here anytime.

Make the reel your own

Edit the on-screen text and numbers in each scene; the preview updates as you type.
Changing spoken words needs a voice update. Check the new audio and captions before exporting.
Switch styles to change the look. Creator and Pro also support your own colours, fonts and logo.
Review facts, names and pronunciation before sharing.

Will my video have a watermark?

Free exports are 720p with a small ReelBaker mark on the video. Creator and Pro support 1080p exports without that mark. Previews inside the app show a preview label on every plan; the finished download follows your plan's watermark setting.

Which languages can I use?

You can make reels in Hindi and English on every plan, including the spoken voiceover and on-screen captions.

Are the voices AI-generated?

Yes. An AI voice reads your script aloud. Check names and pronunciation before sharing, and check the disclosure rules of the platform where you publish.

Save and share your video

When the preview is ready, choose Export. Once processing finishes, Download MP4 saves the finished video to your device. Upload that file to the platform where you want to share it.

Find saved reels in Projects. Downloading an already finished video again uses no credits. If you change the style or text, export again to update the finished file; each new export uses 1 credit.

Previews, credits and plans

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Free includes 3 finished video exports and 15 new previews each month, with up to 5 new previews in any 24 hours. Videos can be up to 30 seconds long, at 720p with a small ReelBaker watermark. No payment card is needed.

What is the difference between a preview and an export?

A preview is a playable draft: check the script, voice and visuals before making the finished video. An export creates an MP4 video file you can download and share. Creating a new draft counts toward your preview allowance. Watching an existing preview again does not.

What uses a credit?

Each new video export uses 1 credit. Editing text, replaying a preview and downloading an already finished video again do not use export credits. Creating new previews and updating the spoken audio have separate usage limits. If an export fails, its credit is returned.

Do unused credits carry over?

Unused credits from your monthly plan expire when the next monthly allowance starts. Extra credits, also called top-ups, do not expire while your account remains open. Monthly plan credits are used first, then extra credits.

Are paid plans available?

Yes. View your plan, usage and purchase options in Plan and billing.

Compare plan allowances or check your remaining previews and credits in Plan and billing.

Words you'll see in ReelBaker

Plain-language explanations of the words used in the app.

Show term definitions

Preview: A playable draft to check the script, voice and visuals before making the finished video.
Export: The step that creates a finished MP4 video file you can download and share.
MP4: A common video file format. This is the file you receive when your finished reel is ready to download.
Credit: One credit lets you create one finished video. Creating new previews has a separate allowance.
Script: The words spoken in your reel and the text shown on screen.
Scene: One section of your reel, with its own text and visuals.
Voiceover: The spoken audio that reads your script aloud. Narration means the words the voice says.
Captions: The words shown on screen as the voice speaks, with each word highlighted in time with the audio.
Watermark: A small ReelBaker mark on the finished video. Free exports include it; Creator and Pro exports do not.
720p and 1080p: Video quality levels. A 1080p video has more picture detail than a 720p video.
Custom branding: Use your own logo, colours and fonts to give reels a consistent look. This is a Creator and Pro feature.
Extra credits (top-ups): Credits bought separately from your monthly allowance. They are used after plan credits run out and do not expire while your account stays open.
Regenerate: Create a new draft of the reel. This counts as another preview; replaying an existing preview does not.
Voice update: Create new spoken audio after changing a scene's narration. Each changed scene counts toward your voice-update allowance; unchanged lines do not.
Priority processing: Your export gets priority when the next waiting video is picked to start. It does not interrupt videos already being made or guarantee an instant result.
24-hour limit: A moving limit, rather than a reset at midnight. Each use stops counting 24 hours after it happened.
