Camera roll to posted Reel without an evening in a timeline. Vyra does the cut, captions, and music from a description of what you want, then exports a vertical file and a square one for the grid if you ask.
How it works
- Upload the clips and any music you have rights to.
- Describe the Reel. Format, length, hook, what to keep and cut, caption style, music level.
- The agent puts it together and keeps captions inside the safe zone.
- Ask for a grid version if you want the same edit at 1:1.
- Export with the Instagram/TikTok preset.
What you can control
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Aspect | 9:16 for Reels, 1:1 or 4:5 for the grid |
| Hook | A quoted line or a described shot first |
| Captions | Phrase, word-by-word, or highlight, with emphasis words bigger |
| Music | Uploaded track, cuts on the beat, ducking under speech |
| Text | Titles, lower thirds, motion graphics from a prompt |
| Look | Effects by category, reference style matching |
Prompts to paste
Cut a 40-second Reel about my studio setup. Open on the wide shot of the room, then one clip per corner as I mention it, captions in 3 to 5 word phrases, lo-fi track at 25 percent under my voice.
Make a 1:1 version of this Reel for the grid with my face centered. Keep everything else the same.
Add a lower third with @sulansart for the first 4 seconds, bottom left, simple slide in.
When to use something else
- You want Instagram's native templates, filters, and audio library. Instagram's own editor and CapCut have those.
- You edit only on a phone. Vyra runs in the browser.
- You need it scheduled and posted from the tool. Vyra exports files.
FAQ
Which export for Reels? The Instagram/TikTok preset. 1080p vertical MP4 at 20 Mbps.
Can I get a grid crop of the same edit? Yes. Ask for 1:1 with the subject centered.
Do captions stay clear of the Reels overlay? Ask for the lower third above the bottom safe area.
