You spent $300 on Ray-Ban Metas. Why does sharing one clip take 2 hours?

Glasses → Meta View → iPhone → Lumafusion → manual crop → upload.
GlassReel collapses it to 60 seconds. Drop footage in, get a Reel out.

"At the end of each day I downloaded them into iPhoto and transferred to Lumafusion on my iPad. I usually ended up with 15–20 minute videos. I would then edit them down to about 4 minutes… every. single. night."

"My biggest gripe, and it's a huge one: WHY IS IT STILL PORTRAIT MODE ONLY?! I cannot understand this decision. It makes the camera useless for any long-form YouTube content and feels like a massive missed opportunity."

"Wish there would be simply video editing tools within the app — adding text, trimming — rather than only 'edit with AI' which does nothing useful. I wish they'd be a way to crop the videos to landscape automatically, following whatever is moving."

"Refunding my Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer. Making the videos basically unusable… I've had nothing but issues. The workflow to get anything shareable is just ridiculous."

"First you need to be an Android user with your phone rooted to get full access to the raw files… the uncorrected fisheye footages, which are unstabilized. For videos, they're not stabilized at all."

An open-source workaround for Ray-Ban Meta editing got 228 upvotes — the single most-upvoted thread in 12 months. Not a product. A workaround. Users are building what Meta won't.

Questions

Answered.

Does this work with my Ray-Ban Meta glasses specifically?
Yes — GlassReel is built for Ray-Ban Meta footage first. We handle the specific fisheye profile, 1080p export format, and Meta View quirks. It also works with Snap Spectacles, Even G2, and Rokid via standard MP4 import.
What's the difference between the $7 guide and the $29 Beta?
The $7 guide is a PDF — a manual workflow using existing tools (Lumafusion presets, CapCut templates) that cuts edit time from 2 hours to ~20 minutes. The $29 Beta is the actual software: drop footage in, get a Reel out automatically. Most people start with the guide, then upgrade when Beta opens.
When does Beta launch?
We're targeting a 6-week window from when we hit 50 paid members. You'll get an email with your access link. Beta members shape the roadmap — your feedback decides what gets built first.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. 30-day full refund on both products — no questions asked. If GlassReel doesn't meaningfully cut your edit time, we don't deserve your money.
I still need Lumafusion for fine-tuning. Does GlassReel replace it?
No — and we don't try to. GlassReel handles the 80% that's repetitive (crop, highlight, music, captions). You export the base cut and do fine-tuning in any editor. We're eliminating the 90 minutes you spend before you even open Lumafusion.

Ready?

Your footage deserves
to be seen.

Stop letting the 4-step workflow kill your motivation to post.
