You’ve got the clips. Here’s the reel. You played the show. Here’s the reel.
Followspot turns the footage on your phone into a finished Instagram reel, with the date, the place, your name and a caption ready to paste. In your browser, in about the time it takes to pick a filter.
Followspot turns last night’s phone footage into a finished Instagram reel, with the date, the venue, the support act, your logo and a caption ready to paste. In your browser, before the van is unloaded.
Invite-only for now. Works in Chrome or Edge, on a laptop.
Same clips. Another look.
A look is more than a filter. Each one recuts the reel its own way, with its own type, transitions, grain and colour. Your clips and your words stay as they are, so trying one costs you a click.
A restrained grade, slow push-ins, crossfades, letterbox bars and widely spaced titles.
Five more in the app, from Black metal frost to Hellfire.
Say what it’s for. Followspot does the rest.
An event needs a date, a place and a way in. A launch needs a day. A tip needs its steps. You fill in what you know; Followspot decides which line goes where, when it shows and how big, and writes the caption to go with it.
A show needs a date, a venue and the support act. A release needs a title and a day. The night after needs a thank-you. You fill in what you know; Followspot decides which line goes where, when it shows and how big, and writes the caption to go with it.

Every shape Instagram asks for.
One reel, four formats, exported together if you like. The words and logos keep clear of where Instagram puts its buttons.
Your footage never leaves your laptop.
Followspot does all its work in your browser. Your clips, logos and reels are never uploaded, and there’s nothing to install.
Want your hands on it? Open it in Desk.
Desk is the timeline under every reel. Trim and swap shots, drag lines and logos to where you want them, change a transition, check the safe zones. Or start there with an empty reel and cut it yourself.
Made by a band, for anyone with clips to post.
Followspot started as the way one band made its reels. Now it’s opening up, a few people at a time. Sign in with Google, say a word about what you make, and a person reads every request.
