Built for football, not Hollywood
No timelines. No codecs. No audio panels. Just bookmark, cut, track, zoom, slow-mo, add the music, export. The effects that matter for showing 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. Available now in early-access pilot.
Launching at £99/yr for founding members, until 31 July 2026. Tell me when it's live:
See how it's madeA real 38-second reel. One Veo match in. Scout-ready out.
“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.
Until now.
Built for the job —
nothing else.
Open the Veo download. Bookmark the moments. For each clip a numbered strip walks you through the only four things that matter: Track the player, Zoom in tight, Slow-mo the skill, add the Sound. Each step ticks green when it's done.
The clip editor. One stepper, one job. No timelines, no codec dialogs, no audio panels.
The wide Veo angle, pulled in tight on the player.
Drop a marker on the player and follow them with the cursor while the video plays slow. The outline animates along their path in the preview and the export. The focus box pulls the wide-angle pitch shot in around the action — so the kid a scout is meant to be watching isn't a dot in the distance.
- Rectangle or oval outline · seven colours · optional name label
- Multiple markers per clip — goalscorer and assist in the same frame
- Frame-accurate nudge of the in and out points
Built for one job, done well.
Lock the frame on the player
Drop a marker on the player and follow them across the pitch with the cursor while the video plays slow. The outline animates along their 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. Add a name label. Highlight more than one player in the same clip when the moment calls for it.
Slow-mo, music and a brighter picture
Slow the skill moment down so it lands. Drop in a backing track on a single clip — or one song across the whole reel — with a clean half-second fade-out at the end. Dial the brightness up or down for matches shot under floodlights, in fog, or against the sun. Live preview at every step.
Your footage stays local
The match never uploads. Editing and rendering happen on your machine. Only an export count travels for licence checks — never the video.
Polish the whole reel —
in one bar.
Build the sequence by dragging clips along the bottom of the window. One song across the whole reel. One brightness adjustment across the whole reel. The total runtime updates as you go.
♪ One song. The whole reel.
Drop in an MP3 and it plays continuously across every clip — not restarting at each cut — with a clean half-second fade at the end of the export.
⚙ Lift the picture in one move.
Sequence-wide brightness, –50% to +50%. Stacks on top of any per-clip adjustment. Useful when a whole week of matches looks gloomy.
0:37.5 total runtime.
Live readout of the export length. Slow-mo clips count at their slowed runtime, so what you read is what the file will be.
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 boys on the pathway — both at Cassiobury Rangers JPL and Watford's Advanced Player Development Programme. 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 parent shouldn't have to become a videographer to advocate for their child.
- Built for the Veo workflow — the actual file you download from your club.
- Runs locally on Windows. Mac and Linux are next.
- 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, cut, polish
Scrub through the match once and bookmark every play that matters. Cut clips from the bookmarks. Track the player so the frame follows them, drop the focus box on the action, slow the skill moments down, and add a backing track. Each step ticks green as you go.
- 3
Export the reel
Single clip or the full sequence as one mp4. Standard 16:9 — ready for the scout's inbox, a WhatsApp send, or a Google Drive link. One song across the whole reel and a half-second fade-out at the end. One click.
Done-For-You
Haven't got time to edit it yourself? We'll make the reel for you.
Send us the Veo link. The football dad who built ReelMagic edits your child's best moments into a scout-ready showreel — tracking, slow-mo, music, the lot — and emails it back. No editor, no learning curve.

The moment the work was for.

That's what ReelMagicPro is for. Everything else got cut.
