What are Instagram reels?

Today we introduce you to Instagram Reels, a new way to create short videos on Instagram-u.

Reels allows us to make videos that we share with our followers or anyone on Instagram. Initially, the length of the video was limited to 60 seconds, and now every uploaded video on Instagram is viewed as Reals.

What is important to note here is this: When uploading a video of maximum 90 seconds duration, it is possible to upload that video by clicking on the add icon Reels. (there are the following: post, story, reel, live). However, when uploading a video that lasts longer than 90 seconds, it is required when uploading instead real select the icon post and select the desired video.

Why is this important?

If you upload a video that is longer than 90 seconds, and you clicked on the section real, the video will be cut to 90 seconds. But if you choose post and you find the desired video in your phone, it will not be cut and will be uploaded in its entirety.

It is possible to add music in the frame Reels, adjust the volume of the music you added, as well as the volume of the music in the original video, chop videos, add new ones, insert transition effects between videos, add sound effects, etc. 

Instagram is constantly working on improving the user experience, and some new functionalities are constantly appearing within the application, and therefore within Reels.
