The basics

These ten short guides take you from a new account to a finished video. Each one has numbered steps and screenshots, and takes a few minutes. Read them in order, or jump to the one you need.

1. Sign up and take a first look: create your account and find your way around.
2. Create a project and upload files: make a home for one video and add your material.
3. Pick an app and run it: choose what kind of video to make and start it.
4. Follow progress, then download or share: watch the run and get your video.
5. Ask for changes: change part of a finished video without starting over.
6. Editor basics: open a video as a timeline (Early preview).
7. Assistant basics: ask questions and let the assistant do things for you.
8. Pictures and thumbnails: make a picture or thumbnail (Early preview).
9. Plan, credits and billing: see what you have and what work costs.
10. Connect a runner: optional, render on a computer you own.

Guides 1 to 4 are all you need for your first video. For the full detail on any topic, use the links at the end of each guide, or start from What is ReelBolt.
