Display & Playback: auto-advance, titles, loudness
The switches that decide how a published reel plays: rolling clip to clip, what the header shows, and how levels match.
The public reel page always plays like a screening room: one large player, a filmstrip of thumbnails underneath, your clips edge to edge. How it behaves between clips is yours to set, in the reel editor sidebar under Display & Playback.
Auto-advance, the pause picker, title visibility, and loudness in one section.
Auto-advance to next clip
Tick Auto-advance to next clip and the page rolls straight into the next video when one finishes, which turns a collection of clips into a continuous screening. Set Pause between clips to None, or to a beat of 0.5 to 5 seconds if the work needs air between pieces. When the final clip ends the finish is recorded, so a viewer who watched the whole reel shows up as exactly that in Insights.
Show title on public page
Show title on public page controls one thing: the reel's name in the header bar. Untick it for an unlabeled, gallery-wall feel. The current clip's own name still appears with the player either way, so a viewer always knows which piece is up.
Normalize loudness across clips
A reel assembled from different jobs mixes deliveries mastered at different levels. Normalize loudness across clips levels the set to the online streaming standard (-14 LUFS): quiet clips come up, loud clips come down, and a dialogue piece no longer whispers after a commercial. It is on by default for new reels; untick it only if your clips were already mastered as a set.
Group clips into folders
For a longer reel, click Folder above the clip list and drag clips in: "Commercials", "Narrative", "Music Videos". Viewers see the folders in the filmstrip, step into one, and step back out with the All crumb. Drag-to-reorder works the same inside a folder as out.
Remember to click Save in the header after changing any of these; the public page picks the change up immediately. Set the look itself in Brand a reel.
Questions
Where are the grid and column layout options?
On embeds. The hosted page at your /s/ link is always the single-player screening room. When you embed the reel on your own site, the Publish & Embed options include a Grid layout with 2 to 4 columns and a Gallery layout with a thumbnail strip.
Do trims set on an asset apply in the reel?
Yes. The trim you set with Set In and Set Out on the asset page is what plays in the reel, so a two-minute piece can appear as its strongest eight seconds without exporting a new file.
