How people watch on Instagram Reels
Reels sit between Stories and the main feed, and viewers expect polish and mood. Clips that look designed, with a clear subject and good light, tend to suit the format.
Set your video up for Instagram Reels
- Choose vertical 9:16
- Match the music to your brand: Luxury, Social, Fun or Calm
- Pick Full HD for most posts and 4K for headroom
What to show first
- Show the subject within the first second
- Keep light and colour consistent with your grid
An example you can adapt
Example sentence: Steam rising from a latte on a marble counter in soft morning light, slow push-in, vertical.
A music-only video is 8 seconds and costs 2 credits in Full HD or 4 credits in 4K.
Mistakes to avoid on Instagram Reels
- Mixing styles so a Reel looks unlike the rest of your grid
- Relying on text inside the picture, which can shift in motion
Before you post on Instagram Reels
- Check Instagram Reels's current rules for AI-generated content, and label your video if asked to.
- Write your caption and tags in the app
