Hey have you seen the reels where they bounce in or have 3d effects? How are people doing those transitions?

I am a photographer who travels to take photos and I have a hard time getting more followers. What are the hashtags I can use?
Learning to adapt with the shift to video content as a photographer is key! I've been using some of the methods you mentioned and boost app social. Helps so much with those final touches, especially captions.
Adding the song recording & using markers is genius!

Love to hear it! Game changer
might be a silly question but are reels generally limited to upright images? Is there any way of using landscape images? I have thought about perhaps stacking 2 or 3 to create an upright.
Great video Chris! What would be the ideal amount of photos for a 15 sec. reel?
@ChrisPieta
2 жыл бұрын
No ideal amount, but I always time it to the song, about 1 per second or so
Good Stuff. Super Simple. Thank you.

What the name of application use it to make the reel ?
Awesome video! Just what I was looking for. However I still have a major doubt. Is there a way that we can dowload the viral audio track that we want to use in the reel, with the specific duration of the track that is on IG or TikTok, to be able to more easily edit the reel in the software withputh having to depend in an awful voice recording? Im asking because I also edit my reels in my PC not in the App itself because is so annoying and inaccurate to edit with your fingers. Please let me know if you know how to do so!!!🤟

I'm not sure if you can download without having to buy the song from somewhere. The quality is awful, I agree, but thankfully you can delete the song before export
Do you need to use the program Final Cut or can you just edit from Instagram directly?
@ChrisPieta
2 жыл бұрын
You can edit directly, I just prefer final cut since it's easier to time your cuts and be more precise, and stay organized with all the files
Should you only use a song from Instagram? What if you use our own songs we make and it's just in the video from the editing software?
@ChrisPieta

When you choose one from instagram, Instagram knows you're using a viral song, and therefore might promote your video more. This is speculation and not confirmed by Instagram though. Try both, see what works better for you.
