What it is
From one long video to a grid full of Reels
Reels reward accounts that post often, and few people have time to edit a new one every day. A long recording you already have, such as a podcast, a workshop or a talk, usually holds enough material for weeks of Reels. Finding it is the slow part.
Vidoveli reads the transcript, picks complete moments and recommends the best ones with a score and a reason. Each Reel is reframed to 9:16 around the speaker and captioned in 40 languages, and the B-roll tool suggests stock footage that matches what is being said.
The same clip works elsewhere too, so you can post it as a TikTok or a YouTube Short, with post text written for each.
Ready for 9:16
Auto reframe keeps the speaker centered, with 4:5 and 1:1 a click away for the feed.
B-roll that matches the words

Reels checklist
Reels that look right everywhere
Instagram shows a Reel in more than one place, and crops it differently in each. Plan for all of them.
- Keep the middle clearYour profile grid shows a cropped preview, so keep faces and key words near the center of the frame.
- Captions above the bottom barThe caption, the audio label and the buttons cover the bottom of the screen. Place captions a little higher.
- Pick a coverWhen you post, choose a frame with a clear face or a readable title as the cover.
- Short and completeReels can run longer than they used to, but a complete idea in under a minute is still the safest bet.
