Instagram Reels Update: Videos Shorter Than 15 Minutes

Published:

Creators will have “new opportunities to collaborate and create” with Instagram’s new capabilities, the social media platform said. As a result of these new capabilities, new video postings that are less than 15 minutes long will be shared as reels. With the addition of Remix and Templates for Reels, as well as Dual—in which users may record video from both front and rear cameras simultaneously—the photo and the video-sharing app will acquire a slew of new features.

Video postings of less than 15 minutes will now be posted as Reels, and the move is expected to take place over the next several weeks. After all, “reels allow for a more engaging and fun approach to both view and produce videos on Instagram,” the Meta-owned company said in a statement. Prior to this modification, all pre-existing videos will be considered as videos and will not be converted into reels.

Videos under 90 seconds in length are currently shared as Reels. Additionally, Instagram is merging the video and Reels tabs so that videos and Reels can be accessible from one location.

Additional options for Remix are also being added to Instagram’s Reels. The ability to edit public photographs with a green screen, horizontal split-screen, or vertical split-screen is now available to users. If you want to add your own video commentary to an existing reel, you may even select a picture-in-picture response view. With the addition of this new feature, users will be able to “play consecutively” their own reel.

Additionally, Instagram will offer new templates that make making reels simple by preloading music, clip placeholders and adding photographs or video clips to the pre-existing clips. After they’ve been released, these templates may be discovered by pressing the camera symbol on the Reels page. Dual video recording, which captures footage from the front and rear cameras at the same time, is also an option.
