Add clips
Drag in the clips you want to reconstruct. Reel Wrangler reads the available timestamp clues and prepares a timeline for review.

Selected clips go in. A chronological review file comes out. This site keeps the practical details close by: setup, supported formats, privacy, terms, and a direct line to Muttly Haus.

Export one chronological review file
The short path through the app.
Reel Wrangler is built around a single job: turn a batch of selected clips into one file that is easier to watch, share, or hand off.
2
Check the order
Review the inferred sequence, confidence notes, and gaps. If the metadata is wrong, move clips into the order you know is correct.
3
Export the result
Choose gap handling, timestamp burn-in, and an optional report, then export a chronological review file from the selected material.
What you are looking for in the app.
The main screens follow the same path: drop clips, review the timeline, choose export details, then process locally.
Supported input formats.
Reel Wrangler supports Mac-friendly video files handled through Apple's media frameworks. If a file will not import, contact Muttly Haus with the filename extension, camera model if known, and the exact message shown by the app.
.mov .mp4 .m4v Keep source clips in these formats for the smoothest path through review and export.
Your footage stays on your Mac.
Reel Wrangler works with files you select and processes them locally. It does not require an account, does not upload footage for processing, and does not collect analytics.
Read the privacy policyCommon questions.
The useful answers are the ones you can act on before a deadline.
Is Reel Wrangler a video editor?
No. It is a reconstruction utility. It helps order selected clips,
make timeline gaps visible, and export one practical review file.
What formats can I import?
Reel Wrangler supports
.mov, .mp4, and
.m4v input files.
How does Reel Wrangler decide clip order?
It checks filename timestamps, file metadata, and filesystem dates
where available. You still review the result and can manually reorder
clips when your knowledge of the event is better than the metadata.
What happens when time is missing?
Gaps are made explicit. You can choose how missing time is represented
so the exported file does not silently hide a break in the sequence.
Does Reel Wrangler certify evidence?
No. Reel Wrangler helps create a clearer chronological review file,
but it does not provide legal advice, forensic certification, or
chain-of-custody guarantees.
