Why does your page need a news reel maker?

Vertical video has become one of the most prominent content formats on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, but producing it for every news item takes time and skill: cutting, translating, adding music, placing a logo at the end, then exporting in the correct size. Many news pages give up on reels because they do not have a dedicated editor.

News reel maker is a tool that converts a news item, whether text, image, or clip, into a vertical 9:16 video ready for publishing. MediaMach is an Arabic-first platform for news page owners and social media managers, creating the reel and publishing it to your platforms from a single account, with no software installation and no editing experience required.

How do you create a news reel?

  1. Send the news: as text, an image, a video clip, or a link, from the dashboard or via the Telegram bot @MediaMachbot.
  2. Choose the reel type: a reel from an image, from your own clip, or a reel with a virtual presenter reading the news.
  3. The reel is prepared: vertical frame, motion, royalty-free music, an ending with your logo, and embedded Arabic translation.
  4. Review and edit: open the reel in the full editor and change what you want. Nothing is published before your approval.
  5. Publish or schedule: publish it immediately across all your connected platforms, or set a time using social media post scheduling.

Main capabilities

  • Automatic video translation into embedded Arabic text: the speech is transcribed and appears on screen word by word, with ready-made styles that highlight the spoken word the moment it is said.
  • Silence cutting: pauses are removed, and video and audio are cut together so synchronization stays intact.
  • Automatic face blurring: protect the identity of a witness or minor appearing in the clip without manual frame-by-frame blurring.
  • Virtual presenter: a reel with a virtual host and a voice reading the news in Iraqi dialect or Modern Standard Arabic, with ready-made frames and templates.
  • Reel from an image or your own clip: turn a news image into a motion video, or create a full edit from a clip you filmed yourself.
  • Royalty-free music: safe background audio for publishing.
  • Branded ending: every reel ends with your page logo.
  • AI where it matters: used in transcription, headlines, captions, and rewriting only when it adds meaning, with safeguards that reject any number not present in the original news item.

Frequently asked questions

Can I create AI reels without editing experience?

Yes. MediaMach prepares the frame, motion, music, translation, and ending, and your job is to review and edit in the editor, then approve publishing.

How does automatic video translation work?

The spoken audio in the clip is transcribed into Arabic text embedded in the video word by word, and you choose a ready-made style that highlights the word as it is spoken, and you can correct the text before publishing.

What is the virtual presenter in MediaMach?

The virtual presenter is a reel featuring a virtual host with a voice reading the news in Iraqi dialect or Modern Standard Arabic, within ready-made frames and templates. It is available in the “Mix” and “Full AI” plans.

Can a person’s face in the clip be hidden?

Yes. Automatic face blurring helps you protect the identity of a witness or minor before publishing the clip.
