AI video editor for Instagram Reels

AI video editor for Instagram Reels, built around the first three seconds

Instagram gives you about three seconds and no sound. Zupum edits your raw clip into a vertical reel with a front-loaded hook, muted-readable captions, cutaways and a mixed soundtrack - ready to upload.

Edit my reel with AISee everything Zupum does

Tuned for how Instagram actually gets watched

Sound off, thumb hovering, three seconds to earn attention. Zupum puts the hook first, keeps captions legible at phone size and cuts often enough to hold the scroll.

  • Hook text composited behind the presenter with subject cutout
  • Word-by-word captions designed to be read with sound muted
  • Cutaways sized full-screen, top-half or bottom-half of the frame
  • Music and sound design ducked automatically under speech
  • Colour grades that hold up through Instagram's compression
  • Auto reel cover thumbnail

Reels, stories and Shorts from one upload

The same vertical export fits Reels, stories and YouTube Shorts, so one edit covers every short-form surface you post to.

Fast enough for daily reels

Review the AI's edit, change what you would have done differently and export. Most reels are finished in a few minutes in a laptop or phone browser.

Edit your next reel

Open the Zupum studio and upload a vertical clip.

questions

Frequently asked

Does Zupum export the right size for Instagram Reels?

Yes. Vertical 9:16 export at full quality, sized so captions and hook text stay inside Instagram's safe area.

Will the captions be readable with sound off?

That is the default. Captions are word-synced and styled for phone-sized viewing, since most reels are watched muted at first.

Can Zupum make the cover image too?

Yes - it generates a thumbnail from the strongest frame, which you can use as the reel cover.

Which formats can I upload?

Most common camera and phone formats, including MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM. You can also add multiple clips and join them before the AI edit.
