Everything for one job, on one board
Paste a link into the toolbar field and the clip arrives as a card on the canvas: Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo and most other video links. Several links separated by a space go in together. Files off your own disk arrive the same way, dragged onto the board or picked with the File button, and so do photos and multi-image posts. Each job gets its own board, and boards nest inside boards, so a three-part series lives under the client it belongs to.
Show the client a direction before you cut
Publish a board and ReelPile builds one page out of it and hands you a single link. The client opens it in any browser with nothing to sign up for, taps a heart on the cards that land, and you read the picks by opening that same link with ?liked=1 on the end: chosen cards are outlined, the rest dim, and the header counts them. One link serves one client — a second person's hearts overwrite the first's, so publish separately for each. Sending a board to a client sets out the rest.
Find the shot you remember, not the folder you filed it in
The search field sits in the rail and again in the toolbar, and it filters as you type — no Enter, no results page. It matches the clip's title, the author, the track title and the artist, as a case-insensitive substring, so half a word is enough. Clicking @author on a card drops that name straight into the field, which gathers everything one person made in a second. Search covers the board you have open — one job at a time, not the shelf entire.
What it will not do, said now rather than after you buy
Clips pulled in by link play on the client's board through the platform's own embed. A file you imported from your own disk does not: it publishes as a dimmed poster badged no link to open, with nothing for them to press. The board's link is also its only key — there is no password. Beyond that: nothing drags out into Premiere or Resolve, a file leaves one card at a time through the ⬇ button, what arrives is 720p and below almost always, a card on the board has no controls to scrub with, and moving a card is not undoable.
