Say action.
It rolls itself.
Ask in chat and Theo Reel hands back a polished clip with sound. Open the Creator Canvas and the same idea becomes a multi-scene production with narration, a score, and scenes anchored to your own images.
Every frame above is generated footage.
Fast lane or full studio.
Both make finished video. One is a sentence in chat. The other is a production you can direct scene by scene.
Theo Reel
A finished clip, mid-conversation.
Type what you want and keep working. Theo Reel returns a polished clip with sound in the same pass, in landscape or vertical, without ever leaving the thread.
- Ask for it in plain language
- Four tiers, from quick draft to a thirty second take
- Anchor the opening frame to your image
- Sound in the same pass, no separate render
opencharts.com/chatRough it out cheap. Shoot the keeper properly.
The tier is a per-clip decision, not a plan you commit to. Draft on the quick one, then render the keeper on the good one. Cost scales with the tier, and on the Cinema tiers with the length and quality you pick.
The default, and usually the right one.
What you get when you simply ask for a video. A fixed eight second clip at full fidelity with sound in the same pass — long enough for an ad, a hero loop, or a social cut, and the one to reach for when you have no particular requirement.

Reference images
One opening frame
Shot for where it will actually run.
Pick the frame before you render instead of cropping a landscape cut into a vertical one afterwards. Landscape and vertical are on every tier; the Cinema tiers add four more, from 21:9 down to square. Everything downloads as an MP4.
Best for cinematic headers and hero strips. Available on the Cinema tiers.
A brief in. A storyboard out.
Describe the video once and the director breaks it into scenes, writes the narration to match, and renders them in parallel. Nothing is locked, so any scene can be re-rolled on its own.
The brief
A warm 20 second spot for a neighbourhood coffee shop. Morning light, real people, ends on the logo.
Open on steam rising from a fresh cup
Cut to hands passing it across the counter
Wide shot of the room filling up
Close on the logo, hold, fade
Narration
written from the brief, paced to 20s
Score
one continuous track, matched to the cut
It works from what you already have.
Anchor to your images
Hand it a product shot or a screenshot and the scene animates from your actual pixels, not a lookalike.
Notes into a movie
Turn a document into a narrated, documentary-style cut with scenes planned from what you already wrote.
AI presenters
Put a presenter on camera to anchor the scenes when you want a face delivering the message.
Re-roll one scene
Not every shot lands first time. Re-render the one you want and leave the rest of the cut alone.

Describe the video, pick the frame, and let Theo roll it. Start in chat, move to the studio when the idea grows.
