From raw clip to ready-to-post

Six steps, all tracked on one private order page, with live updates and an estimated ready time while your video is edited.

  1. 1

    Upload your footage

    Send the original video, plus a reference or logo if you have one.

  2. 2

    Share your style

    A few quick questions about your goal, captions and ending.

  3. 3

    We edit it

    Our editors use AI-assisted tools, then review every cut and caption.

  4. 4

    Watch the preview

    A watermarked preview on your private link. Ask for a minor change if needed.

  5. 5

    Approve and pay

    Eligible first orders pay after approval. Other orders pay before editing.

  6. 6

    Download the final

    The clean MP4 unlocks on your order page after payment is verified.

Why your Reel takes hours, not seconds

Most Reel previews are ready in 1 to 3 hours after editing starts. Here is where that time goes, measured on real orders. You can close the page: we email you when the preview is ready.

  1. 1–2 min

    1. Footage check

    We confirm the file plays, measure the audio and transcribe every word.

  2. 40–100 min

    2. AI edit

    The AI editor plans the hook, cuts, captions, B-roll and sound, builds it frame by frame and renders a full-quality master.

  3. Built in

    3. Automatic checks

    Six checks run on the master: format, length, loudness, black or frozen frames, captions and asset licences. A failed check sends the edit back to be fixed.

  4. Usually under 2 h

    4. Person reviews it

    Someone on our team watches the whole Reel before you see it. This is the step that catches what software misses.

AI apps, a freelancer, or Leadup Studio?

An honest comparison. AI apps are fastest, and a ticked box marks the winner of each row, even when it is not us. Choose Leadup Studio when the Reel has to be right before it goes out.

When something else is the better choice

  • You need a rough cut in the next ten minutes. Use a one-click AI app.
  • You post several clips a day and are happy to fix captions yourself. An AI app subscription costs less per clip.
  • You want one editor sitting with you on a long brand film. Hire a freelancer or an agency.

Try it on your own video

Upload one clip. Your first Reel comes as a watermarked preview, and you pay only if you like it.

While your video is edited, your order page shows each step as it happens (listening, planning, building, rendering, checking) with an estimated ready time based on recent orders.

What to have ready

  • Your original video

    Export from your phone or camera, not a forwarded WhatsApp copy.

  • A reference (optional)

    A Reel or video whose style you like. We adapt it, we do not copy it.

  • Your logo or brand files (optional)

    PNG, SVG or PDF. Useful for business videos.

  • Your goal

    What should viewers do at the end: follow, call, visit or buy?
