Built for football, not Hollywood
No timelines. No codecs. No audio panels. Just clip, mark, zoom, slow it down, export. The effects that matter for showing to a scout — and nothing else.
From Veo to Scout —
in Minutes.
Turn your child's match into a scout-ready showreel without becoming a videographer.
Built by a football dad. Launching for the 2026/27 season.
Founding members get a discount + first dibs on the app.
“It's been so hard to do that it just doesn't get done.”
Another season. Another box of Veo downloads. Another 3 or 4 reels — when there should have been thirty.
You know there are great moments in those matches. The first touch in the third minute. The tackle that won the corner. The finish that started with a step-over. But after hours wrestling with DaVinci, or losing your work to a CapCut paywall, you give up. Again.
The kids keep playing. The clips keep not getting made.
Built for one job, done well.
Lock the frame on your child
Drop a marker on your son and follow him across the pitch with the cursor while the video plays slow. The outline animates along his path on the preview and the exported reel. When the play is static, the focus box still crops the wide Veo frame tight onto the action — so every kid is pulled out of the wide angle into the centre of the frame. Add a name label so the scout knows whose foot was on the ball. Highlight more than one player in the same clip when the moment calls for it.
Instagram Reels, automatically framed
One click exports the same clip as a 9:16 Reel — the crop follows the marked player the whole way through with smoothed pan and zoom, no jumps. Live preview the framing inside the app before you render, then ship it straight to Instagram.
Your footage stays local
The match never uploads. Editing happens on your machine. Only an export count travels for licence checks — never the video.
Built by a football dad.
For football dads.
Whoever made the editor you've been fighting wasn't thinking about you. They were thinking about colour grading, multi-cam syncing, audio mastering. You're thinking about whether the academy scout watched the WhatsApp link.
ReelMagic is built by a parent of two academy-pathway boys — Junior Premier League and the top tier of Watford FC's PDC. Every feature in this app exists because it was needed for a real reel that a real scout watched. Nothing made the cut except the effects that matter in the context of showing to a scout.
A dad shouldn't have to become a videographer to advocate for his son.
- Built for the Veo workflow — the actual file you download from your club.
- Runs locally on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
- One job, one tool — no feature creep.
Testimonials will replace this strip post-launch — no fakes here.
The Match-to-Reel Workflow
- 1
Drop in the match
Open the Veo download (or an iPhone clip). One file. No setup. No project wizards.
- 2
Bookmark and edit the moments
Scrub through the match once and bookmark every play that matters. Cut clips from the bookmarks. Set in and out, drop the focus box on the action, and — if the player is moving — track him so the frame follows. Slow the skill moments down. Duplicate a clip if you want a second angle.
- 3
Export the reel — landscape or Instagram Reel
One clip, or the full sequence as a single mp4. Pick standard 16:9 for the scout's inbox or WhatsApp, or pick the Instagram preset and the 9:16 crop is auto-framed around the tracked player. Both at the click of a button.
Be among the first football dads to use it.
