EchoMe Reel Maker
1

Open the Reel Maker

Open the Reels tab inside Library (/app/library?tab=reels). Your reels are organized in a status-grouped grid — Rendering, Drafts, Ready, and Earlier — so you can quickly find what you need.

2

Create new reels from the create bar

Use the compact create bar at the top of the Reel Maker to start a new reel. You can also access the B-Roll Wizard directly from the create bar to add cinematic b-roll footage to your clips.

Choose from 8 caption styles

EchoMe offers 8 caption styles, each designed for different content types:

  • Modern — Clean sans-serif text
  • Classic — Traditional subtitle styling
  • Bold — Large impact text
  • Minimal — Small lower-third placement
  • Highlight — Word-by-word highlight effect
  • Karaoke — Color-fill animation
  • Underline — Active word underlined
  • Word by Word — One word at a time

Style previews are available at:

Change caption style per clip

Click the style selector on any clip card to switch between caption styles. Each clip can use a different style — mix and match to suit your content.

Tip: Modern and Bold work best for fast-paced content. Karaoke is great for music or spoken word. Minimal keeps the focus on the visuals.
5

Drag to position. Drag a corner to resize.

Open any clip in the editor. Drag the caption block anywhere on the video and it stays. Drag the corner handle and the text scales to fit. Click any transcript line on the right to fix a typo — the caption updates live, the video preview jumps to that moment, and your edit gets baked into the next download.

Tip: The post caption (the text that goes alongside the video on Instagram/LinkedIn/etc.) is also editable inline. Click into it, type, save — it’s ready when you hit Schedule or Post Now.

Export at 1080p

The captions are burned directly into the video file at 1080p resolution. Single-speaker view follows whoever’s talking; split-screen view shows both speakers stacked. Download and post to Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts — no extra editing needed.
