Reelify
Reelify is a Mac application for making short clips from longer recordings. The Reelify website describes importing podcasts, interviews, or webinars, finding candidate moments with AI, and exporting vertical videos for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok.
Finding and finishing clips
Start by importing a video. Reelify analyzes it for moments with narrative hooks, emotion, or quotable dialogue, then proposes short clips. You can add captions, apply branding, and export in vertical format.
The editing controls cover timing, framing, and crop windows. A manual framing override lets you reposition the subject, while Dual Crop can keep both speakers visible in interview or podcast clips. The brand kit supports caption styles, fonts, colors, and a watermark. These controls give you a way to adjust the suggested excerpt and its presentation before publishing it.
The site describes “viral” detection and fast processing, but the captured page does not establish a guaranteed audience response or processing speed for your footage. Select clips for their context and meaning, then review captions and cuts before sharing them.
Local processing and hardware
The publisher says the core AI and video pipeline runs on your Mac, without uploading video frames or audio files. It connects that design to clipping without monthly credit caps or per-minute fees.
Reelify requires Apple M-series hardware, including M1 and later. Intel Macs are unsupported. If local processing is central to your choice, the hardware requirement is as important as the privacy description: the service depends on the Mac doing the processing.
Free access and paid options
The free plan processes two full-length videos and lets you edit and export the clips you create. No card is required, and free exports include a small Reelify watermark.
The page lists Starter at $15 per month with unlimited clipping and watermark-free exports. It also advertises an introductory Creator offer at $59 as a one-time payment with a full year included and no automatic renewal. Confirm the included term and renewal options at checkout; the wording does not establish lifetime access. The monthly option provides captions, branding, reframing, and 9:16 exports without credit caps.
