Use Create when you want one marketing video and you want to approve the plan before anything renders. Use ReelGen when you want five captioned reels from one upload. Both use memory and your footage. Neither posts, and neither invents a shot.

Same kind of footage. Different file.

## Choose Create

You have a clip up to 3 minutes. You want one video. You want to read the plan and stop it if the claim is wrong. Nothing renders until you approve.

## Choose ReelGen

You have a video and you want five cuts, each captioned. You will throw some away. You do not need a plan step first.

## Do not choose either

If you need an avatar, a timeline, or a video from a script with no footage, this is the wrong product. If the clip is only in Telegram, the chat takes 20 MB. The website takes 500 MB.

## Questions

### Can I use both on one clip?

Yes, if you want both shapes. They are not a sequence you are required to finish.

### Which one posts?

Neither. You download the file.
