About AI Reel Maker — Auto Clips for TikTok, Reels & Shorts
Turn long videos into social-ready short clips. Auto-find highlights, reframe without stretching, burn captions, preview, and download one or many. This video tool runs on TheFatBaby’s production platform with the same credit wallet as /v1/video/reel-maker. Successful runs typically use about 25 credits. Sign in to process file jobs, download results before retention expires, and call the matching REST endpoint when you are ready to automate.
