Reels Updates: Reels & Videos Merge, Templates, Dual Camera + more!
If there’s one thing we can rely on Instagram for…it’s constant updates. Reels are an essential part to a well-rounded Instagram marketing strategy and it’s safe to say that we’ll continue to see a rise in these short-form videos. So make the most of your video content and get ahead by learning more about these new reels updates today
IG reels and videos have now merged into one!
If you upload a video that is shorter than 15 minutes long, it will automatically become a reel. Stay on top of this change by making sure that your sizing ratios are up-to-date (ps, the ideal reels aspect ratio is 9:16 😉).
You can now use templates to make reels!
See a video that you love? Well, now you can use it as a template for your own idea! We love templates because they’re a timesaver. Rather than spending hours scrolling through and brainstorming content, simply find a template that you like under the Reels tab, select the videos that you want to include, and Instagram will automatically sync the edit for you.
Improved Reel Remixing
We’re all familiar with remixing on Reels (aka taking an existing video and adding your own commentary or information to it). Instagram has now made it possible for you to seamlessly add in photos. This is a smart way of repurposing old media.
Dual Camera
One of the most frustrating things about video on Instagram was that you could only access one camera at a time. Well, not anymore! You can now get creative and take advantage of both camera perspectives when creating content!
