A video compilation is a short vertical edit built from several clips you already own — trip highlights, sports moments, product demos, event recaps, or a day of phone footage. ReelWorkshop handles the assembly step for any short-form destination: import, arrange, trim, preview, and render one 9:16 H.264 MP4. It does not auto-pick highlights, schedule posts, or push to social networks. You download the file and post through each platform’s own uploader.
One editor for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and Facebook
Short-form feeds share the same core shape: vertical 9:16 video. Instead of learning a different tool per app, use ReelWorkshop once, then upload the same (or lightly tuned) MP4 where you publish. Prefer 1080×1920 for sharpness on modern phones, or 720×1280 when you need a smaller file or want to conserve monthly export minutes. Platform-native sounds, stickers, captions, and effects stay on-platform after upload.
Create a free account, open the workshop, and preview your compilation before you pay for an MP4 export. Checkout only happens if you choose Starter.
How it works
- Import your clips
Upload the videos you filmed yourself into a ReelWorkshop project. Nothing to install — the workspace runs in your browser, with room for up to 100 source clips per compilation.
- Arrange and trim
Reorder scenes, trim endpoints, and drop clips that do not earn a place so the story fits a short vertical length.
- Preview in the browser
Watch the full sequence before you spend export minutes. Fix pacing and weak transitions while editing is still free.
- Export a 9:16 MP4
On Starter, render a downloadable H.264 MP4 at 1080×1920 or 720×1280. Keep the tab open until the browser finishes the render.
- Upload where you post
Download the file and post through TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or Facebook Reels. Add sounds, captions, and effects inside each app if you need them.
What you get
- Browser-based editing with no install — import, arrange, trim, and preview on Free.
- Vertical 9:16 exports as H.264 MP4 at 1080×1920 or 720×1280 on Starter.
- Private account backup for source clips and projects so you can continue on another device.
- Starter allowances: $19.99/month, 25 GB storage, 60 exported minutes per calendar month, unlimited local editing and previewing.
- One workflow that feeds TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels after you upload.
What you don’t get
- No automatic highlight picking — you choose which clips stay in the cut.
- No post scheduling or direct publishing to social networks.
- No platform sounds, stickers, or auto-captions inside the editor — add those after upload.
- No claim that we integrate with or are endorsed by TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or Facebook; logos only identify export destinations.
ReelWorkshop is a compilation maker, not a social publisher. Use it to shape your own footage into one vertical MP4, then finish platform-native polish in each app.
Export settings that travel across platforms
Export at 1080×1920 for the sharpest result, or 720×1280 when file size or export minutes matter more. Keep burned-in text away from the bottom and right edges where TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and Facebook UI icons sit. Mute the ReelWorkshop export if you plan to add a platform sound afterward so tracks do not clash. Every destination re-encodes uploads, so treat your MP4 as a strong source file rather than the final delivered bitrate.
Renders count against Starter’s monthly export minutes. Use free preview to lock framing and pacing first.
Platform-specific maker pages
Need destination-shaped copy? Use the TikTok compilation maker, Instagram Reels compilation maker, or YouTube Shorts compilation maker pages for upload notes aimed at one app. This page is the platform-agnostic entry when you want one vertical MP4 you can post in more than one place — including Facebook Reels.
