For speakers and conference talks
You gave the talk once.Post it all month.
Conference footage is a wide shot of a small person on a big stage. Upload it and Video To Reel pulls the arguments out as vertical clips, cropped in on you, captioned, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Upload the recording the organiser sent you. No links.
The short answer
How do you turn a conference talk into TikToks?
Video To Reel is a mobile app, for iPhone and Android, that turns a recorded talk into vertical clips ready to post on TikTok, Reels and Shorts. You upload the recording from your own device — MP4, MOV or MKV — and Video To Reel transcribes the talk, picks the points worth clipping, cuts them at the start and end of the argument, reframes the wide stage shot to a 9:16 crop that tracks the speaker, burns in word-timed captions and renders at 1080p. Every account gets one free video a calendar month, returned as 3 clips with a small watermark, from an upload of up to 15 minutes; paid plans return up to 10 clips per video and take uploads up to 3 hours, which covers a keynote and the Q&A after it. Finished clips stay in the app for 30 days on a paid plan and 7 days on the free one. The recording you uploaded is deleted the moment rendering finishes.
The talk you spent six weeks writing is worth more than one conference hashtag. This is the part that usually never happens because it means an afternoon in an editor.
Upload the stage recording
The file the organiser sent, your own tripod camera, or the recording a colleague made from the back of the room. MP4, MOV or MKV, straight from your phone.
Set the clip count
Up to 10 clips per video on a paid plan, 3 on the free monthly one. Pick a rough length and a caption position that clears the TikTok interface.
Post through the month
One 40-minute talk is a month of posts. Each clip comes back with the line it was cut around, so you can queue them in the order the argument builds.
Stage footage is a hard case
Why a wide stage shot needs more than a centre crop
You are small and you move
A fixed camera at the back of a hall puts you in a fifth of the frame, and you walk. A centre crop gives you a vertical clip of an empty lectern. The frame here follows the speaker it can hear, smoothed so it glides.
Slides are not the story
Clips are chosen from what you said, not from what was on screen behind you. The point that got the room quiet is in the transcript, and that is where the cut is made.
Room audio, readable captions
Hall acoustics and a lapel mic are not a podcast booth. Captions are word-timed and burned in at 1080p, so a clip still reads on a phone at arm's length with the sound off.
Check who owns the footage before you upload it: some conferences license the recording back to you, some do not. You confirm you hold the rights to what you upload — see the terms.
FAQ
What speakers ask
My talk is 45 minutes. Is that too long?
No. Starter takes uploads up to 45 minutes, Creator up to 2 hours and Studio up to 3 hours. The free monthly video is capped at 15 minutes, so for a full keynote you either need a paid plan or a trimmed section of the talk.
Can I paste the conference's YouTube link?
No, and there is no plan to add it. Downloading video from a platform breaks that platform's rules and app store policy, so Video To Reel has no downloader in the app or on the server. Ask the organiser for the file, or use your own recording.
Will the captions get technical terms right?
Mostly, but automatic transcription makes mistakes, and jargon and names are where it makes them. Read every clip before you post it — the caption is burned in, and the quote each clip was cut around is shown next to it for exactly this reason.
What does it cost to try?
Nothing. One free video every calendar month, returned as 3 clips with a small Video To Reel watermark, from an upload of up to 15 minutes, no card required. Paid plans start at €9 a month for 150 source minutes, drop the watermark and keep clips in the app for 30 days instead of 7.
