For Reels
An AI video editor for Reels, trained on yours
Your published Reels already show how you cut — how fast you open, where your captions sit, when you let a shot breathe. Runs reads that editing style from your own work, then turns new raw footage into an editable first cut that is already recognizably yours.
The body of work
Learned from Reels like these
Published Reels from @ayukoene. Six visibly different videos, one recognizable editor — that through-line is what the engine measures and applies.
The craft
What it gets right on a Reel
Safe zones, caption placement, opening speed — measured from your published work, not a template.
- Safe zones. cleared for platform chrome, top and bottom — captions never sit under the UI
- Caption band. at 67% from the top — measured from your published Reels, not a default
- Hook window. the first 3 seconds carry the open — paced the way your openings measure
- Cover frame. chosen from the cut, so the grid post matches the video
- Music-free master. export carries your levelled voice; you add the sound the platform licenses
Masters ship music-free so you add the track where you publish. How the learning works.
Questions
Asked before applying
Does Runs add music to my Reels?
No — deliberately. Masters come out music-free so you can add your own track in the app where you publish, which keeps licensing clean and the choice of sound yours. Runs focuses on the editing decisions: pacing, cuts, captions, levels and structure.
Does it work for TikTok and YouTube Shorts too?
The mechanics are the same — short-form vertical video cut from your own footage, in your style. Reels are named first because that is where the published proof currently is; TikToks and Shorts share the format and the workflow.
Does it handle captions?
Yes — as an editing decision, not a commodity subtitle pass. Captions are placed and timed the way your published work places them: your position on screen, your sizing, your register.
