How Reels Work<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select Reels from the bottom of your camera; you will see a variety of creative editing tools on the left side of your screen to help you create your reel. Some of the tools are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audio: Search for a song from the Instagram music library. You can also use your own original audio by simply recording a reel with it. When you share a reel with original audio, your audio will be attributed to you, and if you have a public account, people can create reels with your audio by selecting \u201cUse Audio\u201d from your reel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AR Effects:<\/em>\u00a0Select one of the many effects in our effect gallery, created both by Instagram and creators all over the world, to record multiple clips with different effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timer and Countdown:\u00a0Set the timer to record any of your clips hands-free. Once you press record, you\u2019ll see a 3-2-1 countdown, before recording begins for the amount of time you selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Align:\u00a0Line up objects from your previous clip before recording your next to help create seamless transitions for moments like outfit changes or adding new friends into your reel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed:\u00a0<\/em>Choose to speed up or slow down part of the video or audio you selected. This can help you stay on a beat or make slow motion videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reels can be recorded in a series of clips (one at a time), all at once, or using video uploads from your gallery. Record the first clip by pressing and holding the capture button. You\u2019ll see a progress indicator at the top of the screen as you record. Stop recording to end each clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
