How ReelSGiQ works

Build branded 1080×1920 reels in five steps. Mix text, image and video scenes, animate them with motion, icons and emoji, add captions and an AI voiceover, then export a ready-to-post MP4.

1. Set up your brand

Your brand assets appear automatically on every reel you make:

  • Logo — shown big on the final slide, and optionally as a small badge on every scene (pick a corner via “Brand Logo on Every Slide”, or turn it off).
  • Watermark photo — a faint background image behind text slides; adjust its opacity. It’s automatically hidden on video scenes and the final branding slide.
  • QR code — upload your own or we generate one from your website URL for the final slide.

Your brand is remembered, so you don’t re-upload it every time.

2. Build your scenes

A reel is an ordered list of scenes. You can mix two kinds:

Text scene

A styled text slide — choose the font, size and color. Great for hooks and key messages.

Image scene

A still photo background with an optional caption over it. Upload your own image.

Video scene

A real video clip with an optional caption over it. Upload your own or search stock footage.

For video scenes you can:

  • Upload an MP4/MOV/WebM, or search stock footage (powered by Pexels) and pick a clip.
  • Trim the clip with start/end seconds.
  • Add a caption — it overlays on the clip and is what the AI voiceover speaks.
  • Reorder scenes with the up/down arrows.

In a hurry? Use Generate Script with AI to draft your text scenes from a prompt.

The Final Logo Slide field lets you set a closing line the voiceover says over your logo (it isn’t shown on screen).

Bring scenes to life — motion & animation

Every text and image scene has motion controls right under its caption:

  • Hold — how many seconds the scene stays on screen before the next one. Leave it blank for auto (it matches the voiceover length, and never cuts a longer one off).
  • Background — a slow Ken-Burns move on the scene: Zoom in, Zoom out, or Pan left/right.
  • Text in — how the caption appears: Fade, Fade up, or Slide in from a side.

Add icons, emoji & stickers

Each text/image scene has a small 9:16 canvas. Add elements, then drag them anywhere on the scene:

  • Icon — search a built-in icon set (hearts, stars, arrows, check marks…) and tint it any color.
  • Emoji — pick from a sticker grid (🔥 ✨ 💯 🎉 …).
  • Upload — drop in your own PNG/SVG graphic or sticker.
  • Tap an element to set its size, its motion (Pop, Fade, or Bounce in), and — for icons — its color.

Scenes crossfade into each other automatically for a smooth flow.

Tip: per scene, use Background zoom/pan or placed elements — when a scene has icons/emoji on it, its background stays still so the elements animate crisply.

3. Pick a theme & voice

Choose a color theme that sets the gradient, text and accent colors across the reel.

Pick an AI voice to narrate the reel. The voice speaks each text scene, each video caption, and your final outro line.

Add background music — pick a royalty-free track from the music library or upload your own, then set its volume. It’s mixed quietly under the voiceover.

4. Preview

See exactly what your MP4 will look like — scenes animate in sequence, video clips play with their captions, and you can fine-tune each text slide’s styling before rendering.

5. Export your MP4

Hit render and ReelSGiQ stitches everything together into a 1080×1920 H.264 MP4: each scene is fitted to 9:16, captions and your logo are overlaid, the voiceover and music are mixed, and a branded logo + QR slide is added at the end.

Rendering runs in the background — when it’s done you’ll find the reel on your dashboard.

Your dashboard

  • Click any reel to play it full-screen with sound.
  • Download the finished MP4.
  • Re-edit reloads a past reel’s brand, scenes, theme and audio so you can tweak and re-render.

Good to know

  • Reels are 1080×1920 (9:16) — vertical, for Reels / TikTok / Shorts. Clips are auto-cropped to fit.
  • Up to 15 scenes per reel; captions are best kept under ~150 characters.
  • A scene with a voiceover longer than its clip automatically extends so nothing gets cut off.
  • Video scenes use the AI voiceover, not the clip’s original sound.
  • Video reels — and scenes with animated icons/emoji — take a little longer to render than plain text-only ones. That’s normal.
