Frequently Asked Questions
What sports does Slam Reels support?
Slam Reels works with any sport — basketball, football, soccer, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics, and more. Just upload your clips and we handle the rest.
How long does it take to create a highlight reel?
Most reels are ready in under 5 minutes. Upload your clips, choose a style, and hit create. The video renders in the cloud so you can close the app and come back when it's done.
What video formats can I upload?
We accept MP4, MOV, and WebM files. Clips can be filmed on any phone — iPhone, Android, or tablet. Both horizontal and vertical clips work great.
Can I use Slam Reels on my phone?
Yes! Slam Reels is built mobile-first. It works in any browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. You can even add it to your home screen for quick access.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — you can create your first highlight reel completely free, no credit card required. Upgrade anytime for more reels and longer videos.
What size are the finished videos?
All reels render in 9:16 vertical format at 1080x1920 resolution — perfectly sized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Snapchat.
What is the best app to make a highlight reel for my kid?
Slam Reels is purpose-built for youth sports highlight reels. Unlike general editors like iMovie or CapCut, there's nothing to learn — no timelines, no keyframes, no editing skills required. And unlike Hudl, GameChanger, or Veo, you don't need your team or league to use it. Just upload clips from your phone, pick a style, and get a polished vertical highlight video ready for Instagram and TikTok in minutes.
Can I use Slam Reels for a recruiting or showcase video?
Absolutely. Slam Reels creates professional-quality 1080x1920 vertical highlight videos that are perfect for sharing with college coaches, club teams, and recruiting services. Add your player's name, number, and team for a polished look that stands out.
How is Slam Reels different from iMovie, CapCut, or Hudl?
iMovie and CapCut are general video editors — powerful, but you need to learn timelines, keyframes, and transitions. Hudl, GameChanger, and Veo require your whole team or league to be on the platform, and Veo only works for soccer. Slam Reels is different: any parent can upload phone clips from any sport, pick a highlight reel template, and get a finished vertical video with overlays, music, transitions, and effects in under 5 minutes. No editing skills, no team buy-in, no special cameras.
Do I need any video editing experience?
Not at all. Slam Reels is designed for parents and athletes who have zero editing experience. The entire process is three steps: upload clips, pick a style, and download your finished highlight reel. Everything from transitions to music to text overlays is handled automatically.
