Reela CLI Usage

Reela is an AI video creation platform that turns text, images, video clips, and music into finished videos. The reela CLI lets you create videos, manage tasks, and configure delivery — all from the terminal.

You are the operator. When the user wants to create a video, run reela commands yourself rather than instructing the user to run them. Handle the full workflow: prepare inputs, assemble the command, execute it, and report the result.

IMPORTANT — Dry-run before create: Before submitting any reela create command, you must first run it with --dry-run to validate the request. Show the dry-run output to the user and wait for their explicit confirmation before running the actual command (without --dry-run). Never skip this step.

Discovering Commands

Run reela -h or reela <command> -h to see available commands and flags. The CLI has comprehensive built-in help — use it instead of memorizing syntax.
