Teasers
A teaser is the launch spot: cut beats of copy, a phone that moves, and a track underneath. It sells the idea rather than explaining the mechanics.
/reely Make a 15-second launch teaser for our new checkout.
How a teaser is built
- Scenes play one after another. Each is a beat — a headline, a feature, the logo.
- Layers stack inside a scene: text, a phone, an image, footage, a shape, a background.
- Transitions join scenes, overlapping them so the cut is a move rather than a jump.
- Music underneath, with the cuts landing on the beat.
The phone in a teaser
The phone can hold a still screenshot or play a real recording of your feature — the second is what makes a Reely teaser accurate where stock mockups are not. It can sit flat as a mockup or exist as 3D hardware in a studio, and it can move: entrances, exits, hero moves and multi-phone formations, all browsable in the app. See Device motion.
/reely Open on the phone doing a Rise Yaw 360, then park it left with the copy beside it.
Cut it to music
Give the agent a track and it measures the tempo, the first beat, and the drop, then times every scene to that grid. Ask for the reveal to land on the drop and it will. See Sound & music.
What you get
A video file and a Reely project you can reopen — scenes, timing, copy, colors and motion all still editable, previewed by the same renderer that produced the file. See Editing in Reely.
Which one do I want?
This is the only real difference. Both are made the same way, from the same inputs — your source, screenshots, or a screen recording — and both can carry music, run six seconds or sixty, and use every look control in Directing. Pick by what you want the video to say.
| Feature video | Teaser | |
|---|---|---|
| It says | “Here is how it works” | “Here is why you should care” |
| Shape | One continuous journey through the app | Cut beats: hook, product, payoff |
| The phone | Center frame, playing the flow | Moves, parks, sometimes several at once |
| The words | Captions narrating each step | Headlines making a claim |
| Reach for it when | Someone needs to understand the feature | Someone needs to notice the product |
Not sure? Describe the video you want and let the agent pick the shape. You can ask for the other one afterwards from the same material.
