What you get
- One vertical 720p MP4 per generation for Meta, TikTok and Shorts
- Scenes that place the item in a setting: worn, on a desk, on a wall, unboxed
- Narration in seven languages
- A plan you approve before generation
How it works
1. Choose a product-only photo
Upload one photo of the product on its own. It guides the shape, colours and packaging in every generated scene. Photos with people are not used as references.
2. Describe the ad and choose a language
Name the product, add the claims you can support, and pick one of seven narration languages. Choose a lifestyle, launch or seasonal angle.
3. Review the scene plan before generation
Reelry writes four scenes with narration and optional headlines. You approve or edit the plan first. Generation then costs 2 credits, covered by the $4 entry pack.
4. Download the finished 720p MP4
The result is a vertical MP4 sized for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Check label detail, anatomy and product interactions before publishing, as AI imagery can vary.
Good fit
- Designs with a bold, simple graphic that survives at video resolution
- Niche stores that need one ad per design across a large catalogue
- Testing which design sells before ordering samples
Not a fit
- Designs that depend on small text, fine linework or exact typography. Generated scenes cannot reproduce them faithfully, and generated typography is switched off.
- Mockups with a model. The reference screen rejects photos with people; use a flat or ghost mockup.
- Claims that need visible proof of the real product performing, such as fit, texture or assembly. Film that on a phone instead.
- Customer testimonials. An AI actor can deliver a scripted message, but it must not be presented as a real customer's experience.
- Ads that depend on readable on-screen text, exact UI or third-party brands. Cinematic generation forbids generated typography and de-brands protected marks.
- Ads longer than about 32 seconds or with more than four scenes.
Which mockup to upload
Use a flat-lay or ghost mockup of a single item with the design fully visible and nothing else in frame. Lifestyle mockups with a model are rejected because they contain a person. The photo sets shape, colour and the design's placement; generated scenes then show the item worn or placed by generated adults.
What the design will look like in the video
Bold shapes, single-colour graphics and large lettering come through recognisably. Small text, thin lines and detailed illustrations drift, and any lettering may be approximated rather than reproduced. Check the finished MP4 against the mockup; if the design is the point, keep the hero shot close and simple.
One brief per design, three angles
Write a short brief that names the item, the design's subject and the buyer, then run the angle that fits the buyer: Lifestyle story for a worn tee, Product spotlight for a poster, Seasonal campaign for gift mugs. Each run costs 2 credits, so a catalogue of ten designs can have a first ad each for 20 credits.
Instagram Reels ad requirements (Meta)
| Aspect ratio | 9:16 |
|---|---|
| Recommended resolution | 1440 x 2560 px; minimum width 500 px for videos of 30 s or longer |
| Length | 0 s to 15 min |
| Files | MP4 or MOV, H.264, up to 4 GB |
| Safe zone | keep text and logos at least 14% from the top, 35% from the bottom and 6% from each side |
Reelry's 720 x 1280 MP4 clears the minimum width and the format. Optional headlines are placed inside the safe zone; Meta's recommended resolution is higher than Reelry's output.

Questions
Will my design be reproduced exactly?
Bold, simple graphics are reproduced recognisably; fine text and detailed line art are not. Review the finished ad against your mockup before running it.
Can I use a mockup with a model?
No. Photos with people are rejected. Use a flat or ghost mockup; the generated scenes add adults wearing or using the item.
Which items work best?
Shirts, hoodies, mugs, posters and tote bags with a large, simple design. Phone cases and small accessories work when the design is bold.
What does one ad cost?
2 credits per generation, covered by the $4 one-time pack. There is no subscription requirement.
Can I add my shop name on screen?
Only as a short reviewed headline, and it should be checked in the finished MP4. Generated typography inside scenes is switched off.
