Built around the person on screen

SparkRoll finds your face through the video, so text is placed around you, never over your face. Some looks go further and put the words behind you:

  • Cinematic Title: huge red and gold words behind you, serif captions that slam in.
  • Behind You: a huge title behind you.
  • Fly-In: big stacked words around you.
  • Studio: huge capitals with an italic word, one word in orange.
  • Word behind you and Orbit signature effects on top of any template.

The clean edit comes first

Talking to camera means pauses, “um”s and second takes. SparkRoll's clean edit removes them automatically and keeps your words and voice as you said them. Review shows the original beside the edit, with every cut listed, so you can put any of them back.

Then it is one message at a time: “add captions”, “make a hook from my first line”, “use Mentor”, “add music”.

Who it is for

Coaches and teachers, founders, creators, podcasters cutting clips, sellers filming product videos and UGC creators: anyone who films themselves talking and wants it to look edited without spending the evening on a timeline.

  1. Add your clip. MP4 or MOV, up to 10 minutes. Drop in several clips and they become one video.
  2. Pick a template (or keep Clean up), and add a signature effect if you want one.
  3. Say or type the edit. Hold to talk, or type it, in any language: “cut the pauses, add captions, make the hook bigger”.
  4. Fine-tune by hand if you like: tap any caption or sticker to move, resize, rotate, edit or remove it.
  5. Export a vertical 9:16 video for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.
