How to use Video Reel

A compact decision guide for placing this pipeline in a workflow.

Best for

Final assembly of multiple video clips into one continuous video
Adding narration and background music to video
Applying transitions between segments (crossfade, dissolve, wipe, etc.)
Always the LAST step in any video production pipeline

Tips

Instructions guide transitions, whole-clip speed, and optional color presets
To preserve product colors, say so explicitly; color grading is otherwise applied only when requested
Mix segment types for engagement: AI-generated clips + text cards + stock footage
For best pacing, keep individual segments under 8 seconds each
Always provide both narration and music for narrated videos

Input	Type	default	Description
`video_urls`required	array	default—	Public URLs of the clips to assemble, in order.
`instructions`	string	default—	Optional hints for transition, pacing, and color style. The renderer assembles clips in the supplied order.
`music_url`	string	default—	Public URL of a background music track. Leave unset for no music.
`narration_url`	string	default—	Public URL of a narration track to lay over the reel.
`preserve_source_audio`	boolean	defaultfalse	Keep audio embedded in source clips and mix it with optional narration or music.
`target_aspect`	enum	defaultauto	Match the first video, or pick an explicit aspect auto · 9:16 · 16:9 +3 `auto9:1616:91:14:54:3`
`target_duration_sec`	number	default—	Select balanced windows around each clip midpoint to fit this maximum reel length. Shorter reels are not extended.

Point any MCP client at pipe2 and your agent gets these tools. It finds this pipeline, reads the same schema above, then runs it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many segments can I combine?

1 to 10 segments, with a maximum output length of 5 minutes. Without a shorter target, length is the sum of clip durations after speed changes, minus transition overlaps.

How are transitions chosen?

Your instructions guide the transition type and duration, from a 0s hard cut up to a 1.5s slow dissolve. The pipeline does not inspect the video frames.

Can I set a maximum reel length?

Yes. Target Duration selects balanced windows around each clip midpoint. Shorter source material is not extended.

Can I keep audio from the clips?

Yes. Enable Keep Clip Audio to retain embedded dialogue and sound. It can be mixed with optional narration and background music.

Does this cost credits?

1 credit per reel.
