You already have the hard part, strong images. Vyra sequences your finals and behind-the-scenes clips to music, adds the text you want, and keeps the changes on the beat. A reel takes one conversation instead of an evening.

What you make

Your three most-used prompts

Portfolio reel

Make a 25-second 9:16 reel from the 30 photos and the behind-the-scenes clips. Open on the best three finals, one per beat of the attached track, then alternate a behind-the-scenes clip and a final. Slow zoom on each photo. End on my logo for 2 seconds. No captions.

Before-and-after

Use the raw and edited versions of each photo. Raw for 1.5 seconds, then wipe to the edited version and hold 2 seconds. Six pairs, in order. Small "RAW" and "EDITED" labels top corner.

Shoot recap

Cut a 45-second recap of the wedding day. Getting ready, ceremony, portraits, reception. Hold moments with real emotion longer. Calm music, ducked under any speech. The couple's names as a title card at the start.

A typical workflow

Upload the finals, the raws if you want before-and-afters, and the behind-the-scenes clips.
Ask for the reel with the order and the track.
Adjust pacing. "Hold the portraits longer, speed up the details."
Add a logo, names, or a booking line.
Export 9:16 and a 1:1 for the grid.

What Vyra does that matters for you

Photos and video in one timeline, with movement on stills from a sentence.
Beat sync so photo changes land on the music.
A reusable style. Attach last month's reel and say "same treatment."
Masks and layouts for split before-and-after frames.

What it does not do

It doesn't retouch photos. Bring the finals.
It doesn't deliver galleries.

FAQ

Will it crop my photos badly for 9:16? Say "no cropping, letterbox with a blurred background" or "crop to the face."

Can it keep colors accurate? Yes. It doesn't grade stills unless asked.

Can I make a client version and a promo version? Yes. One export without your logo, one with it.
