Reel editor — The SocialCTL reel editor is a CapCut-style timeline that runs in the browser, with separate video, voiceover, music and text tracks. It ships five template families, lets you record voiceover in-browser, upload your own or generate AI narration, applies Ken Burns to stills, respects platform-aware safe zones, and exports a real MP4 at 30fps.

Four track types

Video, voiceover, music and text stack on a familiar timeline you can trim and arrange.

Voiceover, 3 ways

Record in the browser, upload an audio file, or generate an AI voice — whichever fits.

Safe-zone aware

Layouts respect 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4 so nothing important gets cropped.

The timeline

Four tracks, arranged the way you think.

The editor keeps video, voiceover, music and text on their own lanes so you can time a caption to a beat, duck music under a voiceover, or hold a shot exactly as long as it needs.

  • Video track — Trim, order and time your generated or uploaded clips.
  • Voiceover track — Record, upload or AI-generate narration on its own lane.
  • Text track — On-brand captions and titles placed inside the safe zone.

Everything the editor gives you.

Five templates

Bold, Minimal, Editorial, Warm and Clean families to start from.

AI voiceover

Ken Burns on stills

Platform safe zones

Guides for 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4 keep content clear of UI overlays.

Frequently asked.

What tracks does the editor have?
Four: video, voiceover, music and text. Each lives on its own timeline lane so you can arrange and time them independently.
How do I add a voiceover?
Three ways: record directly in your browser, upload an audio file (mp3, wav, m4a, aac, ogg or webm), or generate an AI voice via Gemini or ElevenLabs.
What template families are included?
Five: Bold, Minimal, Editorial, Warm and Clean. Each is a starting layout you can customise.
Will my text get cropped on different platforms?
No — the editor shows platform-aware safe zones for 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4 so titles and captions stay clear of platform UI.
Can I animate still images?
Yes. Ken Burns applies a slow pan-and-zoom to stills on the video track so photos feel like motion.
What is the final export?
A real MP4 rendered at 30fps, with an AI-generated thumbnail. You download and post it anywhere.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The whole editor runs in the browser — there is no desktop app to install, unlike CapCut or Premiere.
