Editor tools

Besides full edits, Reelport has single jobs that work on any timeline, any time. Use them from the panel's Tools tab (The Resolve panel) or ask Claude in plain words. Times are in seconds from the start of the timeline. Jobs that change cuts, sound or colour work on a copy of your timeline, so your own stays as it is.

Silences (jump cut)

Reelport finds the pauses in the clip on V1 and cuts them out into a new timeline. It measures the clip's noise floor to decide what counts as quiet, unless you give a threshold in dB. You can also set the shortest pause to cut and drop tiny bits (coughs, clicks) that are left between two pauses. Ask for a preview first ("how much would you cut?"), then build.

Chapters

Claude reads the transcript, picks three or more chapters of at least ten seconds, and puts them on the timeline as markers. It also writes the chapter list for the YouTube description (0:00 Intro, 1:12 …) and puts it at the top of the description when you publish to YouTube.

Beats

Reelport listens to the music track and drops markers: red on every bar, yellow on every beat (or every second beat). Cut on them by hand, or ask Claude to cut to the beat.

Safe zones

A guide on its own track shows where TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts put their buttons, username and caption. Place your text outside the shaded parts. Reelport leaves the guide out of every render, and "remove the safe zone" deletes it.

Subtitles and translation

• Subtitles: Resolve Studio transcribes the timeline and writes a subtitle track, in the language you pick or the one it detects (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and more).
• Translation: Claude translates every subtitle line itself, keeps the same number of lines and timing, and saves an SRT in the new language. It can import the SRT into the media pool as a second subtitle track.
• Corrections: names and terms Resolve misheard get fixed the same way.
• SRT: saves the subtitles as an .srt file for YouTube and other platforms that take captions as a file.

Animated captions

Animated captions turn the subtitles into big on-screen captions with the spoken word highlighted, in one of 69 looks (Karaoke Simple, Karaoke Pop, Karaoke Serif, Word Glow, Word Pairing, Scribble, Retro Extrude, Magazine Justify, Swiss Grid and many more). Each caption is an editable Resolve title on its own track. Run it again with another look to replace them. With Use my colours and fonts on in your brand kit, every look takes your brand colours and caption font. Your plan decides which looks you get.

Punch-ins

Punch-ins cut closer (110%, 115% or 125%) on the moments you name, or on three to eight emphasis moments Claude picks from the transcript. Every other piece is zoomed, so one camera feels like two angles. They also hide jump-cut seams.

Colour looks

There are 15 looks: Film, Orange & Teal, Ryan's grade, Natural, Moody Blue, Golden Hour, Bleach Bypass, Black & White, Sepia, Faded Matte, Cross Process, Night, Vivid, Teal Shadows and Green Matrix. A look grades every clip on a copy of the timeline. Ask for "the look on this timeline" to grade the original instead.

Motion titles

Motion titles are animated titles on their own track, in fifteen kinds:

• Kinetic text for a hook ("STOP SCROLLING"), in plain, serif, neon and yellow versions.
• Lower third with a name and a role, in orange and white versions.
• Counter: a number that counts up ("24,160 views"), in gold and neon versions.
• Callout: a pill for a call to action ("Link in bio"), in dark and pink versions.
• Quote and Headline.

Tell Claude the text and the moment, or use Finishing › Motion title in the panel.

Sound

• Mix for the platforms measures every clip with Resolve and sets the voice to -14 LUFS (what Instagram, TikTok and YouTube play at), with music about 13 dB under it.
• Sound effects add whooshes on every cut, every other cut or every third cut, plus a riser into the hook, at -15 to -20 dB.
• Bleep mutes swear words found in the subtitles (or your own list) and lays a beep, or silence, on its own track.

Shorts export

• Shorts from a long video: Claude reads the transcript and proposes three to five shorts, each a single passage or a montage of two to five passages (hook, main part, payoff, call to action), with a one-line reason for each. Once you confirm, it builds them in 9:16, framed around the speaker, and can render them right away.
• Render several shorts: mark the parts yourself (markers with a length), and Reelport renders each one as its own vertical MP4 into ~/Movies/Reelport.
• Shorts as drafts: name the markers "Short 1", "Short 2"… and each one renders, uploads in the background and lands as its own draft in your reelport.io calendar. Run it again after changes: nothing is uploaded twice.

Podcast

For multi-camera podcasts and interviews, tell Claude (or the panel) which audio track and which camera belong to each speaker, plus the wide shot if there is one. Reelport listens to each mic and switches to the camera of whoever is talking.

Spell-check

Claude reads every text on the timeline (titles, captions, designs) and lists the typos it finds. It only changes them after you agree.

Markers, folders and media

• Markers: list them, add them (with a length, for shorts), or clear them by colour.
• Import a folder into the media pool, in a bin named after the folder.
• Place a file (B-roll, a sound, a logo) at a time and on a track you pick.
• Logo watermark puts the logo from your brand kit on any timeline, at its saved position, size and opacity.
