What is a Sizzle Reel?

A sizzle reel is a short, dynamic highlight video that captures attention instantly. It's often used for:

• Product launches

• Startup pitch decks

• Conference intros

• Social media hype reels

• End-of-year wrap-ups

Traditionally, creating one meant using professional editing tools like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro but not anymore.
