Turn long interviews into Reels framed on whoever is talking.
How to make interview Reels in five steps
Create your free account
Go to www.auk.video and sign up with Google or email. No card needed: a new account starts with free credits, and you land on Home, ready to make clips.
Bring the interview
Paste the link to your interview on Home, or upload the video file.
Set it up for an interview
Set Video type to Podcast or interview and pick a caption style or a saved template.
Let Auk Video find the answers
Press Make clips. Auk Video picks the answers that stand alone, follows whoever is speaking and splits the screen when both share a shot.
Review and post to Reels
Open any clip to trim it, fix a word or move the crop, then download the MP4 or schedule it to Instagram Reels.
It stays on whoever is talking.
Auk Video follows the active speaker, so the vertical crop holds the person talking instead of the middle of the room. Move the framing yourself in the editor whenever you disagree with it.
Built for the silent scroll.
Timed to each word
The transcript carries a timing per word, so the highlight moves with the speech.
Styles to pick from
Minimal, Karaoke Fill, Paper Card and the rest, chosen in the editor or set on a template.
Editable inline
Font, weight and emphasis colour, changed right on the clip.
Review, then ship
Reframe position, captions, style, all yours. Export in one click.
Set your look once. Every clip comes out in it.
Keep one per show. Changing it later never touches a clip you already have.
Pick a style, with your font and colours. The spoken word lights up.
Each clip gets its own title, in the look you pick, moving your way.
Calm, Lively or Punchy: from a fading title to a zoom at every cut.
Save each show's look as a template. Pick it for new clips, or apply it to one you already have.
Questions
How do I make interview Reels?
Sign up free at www.auk.video, then paste the link to your interview on Home or upload the video file. Auk Video picks answers that make sense on their own, reframes them to vertical around whoever is speaking and captions them. Edit any clip, then download it or publish it to Instagram Reels.
How do I make Reels from YouTube videos?
Paste the link to your YouTube video into Auk Video. It finds the moments that stand on their own, reframes each to vertical 9:16 around whoever is talking and captions every word, ready for Instagram Reels.
How do I convert a horizontal video to vertical for Reels?
Auk Video reframes it to vertical 9:16 for you and keeps the crop on whoever is talking. When both people in an interview share the shot for most of it, Auk Video gives each their own box in a Split layout, and you can change the layout or the crop of any part in the editor.
How do I edit interview videos?
In Auk Video's editor, delete a word in the transcript and it leaves the video, fix any word in the captions, and switch the layout in one click. To keep the interviewer's question, press Trim and drag the start handle back: Auk Video keeps a little of what was said just before each clip.
How do I add captions to Reels?
Auk Video captions every word automatically and highlights each one as it is spoken. Pick a caption style, then fix any word by retyping it in the transcript.
How long can Instagram Reels be?
Reels recorded in the Instagram app can run up to 20 minutes, but Instagram says reels over 3 minutes won't be recommended to new audiences. Auk Video clips run up to 105 seconds, vertical 9:16 at 1080 by 1920, which fits Reels.
Can you schedule Reels on Instagram?
Yes, from a professional account. Connect your Instagram Creator or Business account to Auk Video and publish or schedule Reels from its calendar; Instagram does not let apps post to personal accounts.
Is there a free long video to Reels converter?
Yes. Auk Video gives a new account free credits with no card needed, enough to try it on your own interview, or a Section of a long one, and download the clips. Exports carry an Auk Video watermark only on the free plan; on a paid plan they are clean, and you can render your earlier clips again without it, for free.
