Reel Studio: What You Can Make

What can Reel Studio make, and how much Token does it cost?

Reel Studio makes two kinds of video. In a UGC ad a person holds your product and speaks Bangla, 15 seconds for 85,000 or 163,000 Token; the presenter is your own selfie or one of our six, and the voice is the AI or your own. A reel is 2 to 4 AI scenes from 32,000 Token. The script and pictures are free, the price is shown first, and a failed video is refunded.

What Reel Studio is

There is a separate page at banglacodes.com/reels called Reel Studio. Do not confuse it with the builder's video.

• In a builder video it is text, colour and shapes that move, there is no camera footage, and it costs nothing.
• Reel Studio makes real AI video: a person moves, hands move, lips move, and you hear Bangla being spoken.

Your side of the work is simple:

• Say in one line what it is about.
• Give a product photo.
• Wait. No editing software is needed, no camera either, and you do not have to learn video making.

Two kinds of video, side by side

Two cards sit at the very top of the page. One question settles which one you take: do you have a photo of the product?

• If you have a product photo take the UGC ad, because then the buyer sees the real thing.
• If you have no photo, take the reel.
• Take the reel too when the subject is not a product but a service, a course or an announcement.

The four steps

Both kinds have the same four steps, and the page numbers them.

1. About: the product or topic in one line, plus the business name, the offer and a phone (optional). For a UGC ad this is also where 1 to 3 product photos, a presenter and, if you want, a shop photo go in.
2. Script: the AI writes it, you read it and change it. The hook, what is said in each scene, what stands on screen, and the scene description. This step is free.
3. Picture: for a reel one picture is made per scene, free. For a UGC ad one picture is made with the product in the presenter's hand.
4. Video: look at the price and press "Make the video". When it is done, download or share it. If it fails, the Token comes back.

• You can have the script written again as often as you like, and not a single Token is charged.
• On a UGC ad the video does not start until you look at the placement picture and say "Looks right, use this".
• The script and picture steps are open to everyone, free accounts included. Only the last step needs an account that has bought Token.

The voice: the AI's, or your own

• AI voice: pick a Bangla voice from the list beside it. Nothing to record, and it works on both kinds of video.
• Your own voice: on a UGC ad, press the "My own voice" button and a recorder appears under the script.
• Speak 3 to 30 seconds into the microphone, and the presenter's lips follow your voice.

Your own voice wins on two counts:

• It sounds more real, because no AI can copy your voice and your regional accent.
• The AI voice is not charged, but the presenter speaks for as long as your recording and is priced by the second. A short recording is cheaper; a long one costs more, not less.
• If you already have a recording, you can hand that over instead; there is a "Use an audio file" button next to the recorder.

Saver and Better, what the difference really looks like

There are two tiers, "Saver" and "Better". Both run through the same steps, the same script, the same length. The difference is in the model underneath, and to the eye it shows up like this:

• Saver: on a phone screen in the Facebook feed it looks perfectly fine. The motion is a little plainer, and fingers or the edges of objects sometimes go astray.
• Better: smoother motion, more natural expressions, small details clean. On a big screen or in a boosted ad the difference is visible.

The advice is simple: make your first two or three on Saver and find out which hook works. Make the one that ran best again on "Better", and put the boost money behind that one.

The full price list

The price is shown before anything is made, as one number, right above the "Make the video" button. In pack terms:

The counts below are for a reel with music, because that is what the studio normally makes:

• The ৳199 Lite pack (39,800 Token) does not reach a reel with music, by 200 Token; without music it makes one.
• The ৳499 Starter pack (100,000 Token) makes one ad or two reels (three without music).
• The ৳999 Builder pack (300,000 Token) makes three ads or seven reels (nine without music).
• The free up to 400,000 Token a day cannot make video here; that is for chat, the builder and images.
• Reel Studio video is for Token buyers only, and buying any pack once opens that door.

How long it takes

• The script: a few seconds.
• The scene pictures for a reel: a few seconds each.
• The placement picture for a UGC ad: about half a minute.
• The video: 2 to 4 minutes.

While you wait a bar creeps across the screen and the line under it changes, saying things like "Adding the voice" or "The presenter is speaking".

If you close the tab the work carries on and you can come back to it later. If something breaks, every Token charged comes back to your balance without you asking.

Where the video is kept and how to download it

• When it is done the video plays right there. Two buttons below it, "Download" and "Share".
• All the older ones are kept lower down the page under "Earlier reels", to open and download whenever you like.
• The downloaded file is an ordinary video file. It plays on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp, everywhere.
• If downloading on a phone gives trouble, open it once on a laptop and download it there, then send it to yourself on WhatsApp.
• That is not a fault of Reel Studio, it is a limit of some phones.

What we still cannot do

• Bangla writing cannot be drawn inside the video. The model that makes the video does not know Bengali letters. Until then add the text in a phone editing app.
• Real footage of your actual shop, your actual staff or your actual street does not come out of here. If you want those, photograph them yourself.
• To use a real person's face it has to be your own, or you need their written permission.
• You cannot put a song of your own choice into the video. The music bed is ours, and you can add the song on Facebook when you post it.
• The length is 10, 15 or 20 seconds, no more. If you need something longer, make two and join them.

What cannot be made

• Anyone else's face without their written permission.
• The face of a well known person: an actor, a player, a politician or a religious figure.
• Political ads, or campaigning for any party.
• Religious hate, or belittling any group of people.
• Claims of curing illness or of doubling money.

If you give your own selfie you must tick "the person in the photo is me, or I have their written permission". That is part of the Terms too, and if a complaint comes in we take the video down.
