A tool that turns still photographs into a sizzle reel. No video in it, just stills cut fast enough to read as motion.
The default cut is seven frames, one from each of seven projects, and it takes up to eight of yours. Each beat gets a chip below, and clicking one freezes the reel on it.
The highlighted chip is the current beat. Click one to freeze it.
Faux Reel
LabLoad stills, pull a palette from their pixels, set a title. The reel cuts itself. Nothing uploads, nothing saves.

Square and portrait for social, 9:16 for stories.
When the reel blinks a color frame or the lens pinches shut, that is the cover. Every cut has to land on a new image, or the blink reads as a glitch. Titles cut in hard, no fade, and each frame sits for a beat before the next one.
The reel up top is the component itself, running where it was made and cut from seven of the projects around it. The code is MIT-licensed. If you need a deck or a portfolio to move, grab it and skip the shoot.
