About SceneRoll

SceneRoll is a hosted tool for making short vertical videos for Reels, TikTok or Shorts without a video timeline. You record a voice memo in the app or upload an unedited video or audio file, SceneRoll transcribes it word by word, splits it into scenes and pairs each scene with B-roll, taken either from a free stock library or from clips you keep in your own vault.

Editing happens by text: you can delete filler words, tighten the message and trim the edges by tapping on the transcript, and dead space is removed. AI suggests clips for each scene with an apply-all option, and the vault auto-tags your own clips so suggestions can draw on them. You preview the reel, swap any clip and export. The site targets creators who lose hours to editing or hunting for footage, and mentions faceless short-form video. It is free to try, with monthly and annual plans listed in the pricing section.
