What about the course? Can´t find it anywhere!?

[@maybackfilms]

I feel you. In the beginning, I was so annoyed I had to change all my videos to the vertical aspect ratio, zoom in, and all that, but the more I did it, the more I slowly enjoyed making Reels. It took me some time to learn and to even become good at it, but now most reels reach thousands of new people (And I do not have a big following at all) so Reels are great for cold leads and getting your name out there. I still prefer KZbin for actually building a community and more in-depth stuff

[@Henbu]

Rad man🤙 reels is great for growth right now !

[@AndrewWRocks]

1080x1920, 30fps, VBR 2 pass 8mb/s. Took me so long to get it right

[@AdventuringWithNala]

Good tips man. I 100% agree that posting reels is a must if your goal is Instagram account growth. Also posting on other platforms helps as well. I’ve seen massive growth in my IG from these 2 strategies.

[@ohheyitschelsea]

thats so crazy, your reel came up on my IG and I was just browsing through youtube and came across this video and connected the two. my minds blown, you inspire me to push to learn how to shoot better videos!

[@bykristenelaine]

I love your photos and photography style. It's so beautiful and draws me in!

[@owew]

wich "topics" do you choose on reels?

[@Brownricebandit]

I went from 2k to 215k on IG in the last 2 months from just being consistent. I would upload 2-4 pieces of content a day. I would reply to as many comments and DMs as I can so that I can connect with my nation (followers). No trending sounds, no consistent hashtag strategy. It's all about quantity AND value!!

[@SnyderFilsAime]

What’s crazy is I actually followed you on Instagram because of your reels and clicked this video without realizing it was you 😂 I seen the content and was like “hey that looks familiar”

[@MauriceBuley]

love your cinematic green background. which lights are u using?

[@storiesbyasim]

do you add music in Premiere pro or in Instagram and do you sync your cuts and transitions to music in premiere pro and then upload on instagram? if yes then does instagram allow it?

[@anweshdevkota7044]

Do you shoot horizontally or vertical for insta feels or you do it by post

[@HermanHuang]

Thanks for sharing your experience in making reels! Hearing your initial stubborness really resonated with me because I also felt confused about how I'd fit my work into the format. Seeing your growth has been inspirational, and I'm glad your reels have been working for you 🔥

[@neverstopskateboarding8243]

What wireless mic are you using? Absolutely love the crisp audio of this video.

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

So, how do you feel about shooting vertical? It's been a tough transition for me since I'm old school and love traditional horizontal format.

[@Henbu]

Man I need to make a video about this , I feel the same way 😂 it’s so weird shooting vertical and a bit hard to get used too .

[@RoadtrippinwithTakacs]

@@Henbu Do it, man! I still try to make long format content vertical and it goes nowhere. When it's short vertical, it does better. I'm really not a fan of the format. 😁

[@niconic6660]

Hi ... great Video ... where did you get this piano clip from the other reel to yours ... where can i find some start clips ?

[@Fanofoliver]

Question for you: I have 3 ice stores. I.e. local businesses. If a do a lot of reels I may get more followers but they may be in other countries and not able to reach the stores. Due to the decreasing organic reach I would like followes that I do reach organically to be close. So should I conclude that excessive use of reels is bad for me?

[@b1njjj95]

This is very helpful, thank you! I was late to the IG game and created an account back in 2017, and as an artist I find it so hard to compete with the millions of talented artists out there that create reels and promote their artwork. I've been sticking to photo posts and the occasional video, but learning that reels can help increase my number of followers has given me a better understanding of why they're so popular. I would love to reach as many people as possible to gain more followers and make more sales in my online art shops, so I definitely have a lot to think about. Thanks again for sharing these tips! ❤

[@MarioSoMedia]

Thanks for the tips! I have been posting Reels like crazy and some work and others don't. Some have gotten a lot of views but haven't had much success having those views translating to followers. I have had more luck with Tik tok.

[@Henbu]

Glad I can help! 🙏

[@Died1209]

Hi nice vid! Where do you get the original clip + sound to edit to?

[@looppp]

Do you film vertically with your A7? I also have the same camera and wondering how you shoot to optimize for the Reels dimensions Thanks!

[@kam_visions]

Great video man. Your reels are class 🔥

[@vevebo1000]

Can I ask you which setting do you have for the video? Canva doesn;t accept my video because they are too heavy! Thank you

[@Giniaer]

Hello Folks, I wanna ask you which camera some of the instagram models are using. For example. Dennis Boeer. Michael Yerger. Jaco Brott I would like to know which camera are the using, I love the quality of the pictures. Also are they editing it, how? If someone know, I would love to hear that from you. Thank u very much

[@brianbongbk]

How'd you extract the music from? As it would be so much easier to edit transitions following with the beat when you do have the song

[@jesuscosme1965]

How do you get the music from instagram reels into premier or whatever software your using to edit with video then back to instagram ?

[@wodabeats]

Thanks for such an inspiring and useful video! Subscribed! Happy Holiday and big success in NY ✌🏽

[@RichardColindres]

Really strange when everybody says that images will not be recommended to anyone else! My wifes account haves 78 k and each time she upload 1 image she gets around 15k followers, sometimes with not even Tags, so whatsup with Instagram? When she uploads REELS do not have that engagement compared with photos.... and they are good reels.... So this is really really strange, any idea whats happening ???

[@jeremyalameda5061]

I’d love some insight into how you created the blue hour reel. Did you edit this video on your phone? Did you pull the audio into your editor and cut it there? Where did you get that first clip? Was it a template that you could just swap out footage with? LOVE your edit and I’m curious, any insight would be appreciated!

[@erickheyl8293]

Cool video!!! Really inspiring shots especially living in SD!!

[@CyberEditing]

Fascinating! Can't wait to get out of quarantine (traveled in Africa, back in Taiwan) & test video uploads to Reels. I discovered that my most popular IG vid uploads were handheld S22 captures vs. my traditional multicam YT style vids.... Love your LUTS. Been following you on YT for 5+ years.

[@Henbu]

Thanks man! Glad you found the video helpful and that’s so crazy you’ve been along the journey for so long! Gonna try to upload lots this year ! 🙏🙏🙏

[@xzavierhamilton1131]

Congrats man! Thanks for the tips!

[@KaycieGunn10]

Are you filming vertically on your camera for IG or cropping in post?

[@CeliaCavalli]

Great video! I’ve been loving using reels to create stories. Love your work.

[@stoyanvisuals]

That's so cool, but where do I get this first shot with the piano from? :D

[@RonaldBrown59]

I need to do more with Reels. Thanks sharing with us your secrets of how to crush it with Reels. You inspire us all.

[@RielCreative]

I saw your lambo reel a week ago and now you popped up on KZbin 👌🏾

[@JulezDeJesus]

If you edit everything on your computer to upload as a reel and if you use one of the "trending" audios on IG how do you rip the audio from IG to use in your editing software? 🤔

[@zaydherrera]

Just KZbin the audio and download the song, then Instagram recognizes the song and now your video shows up under videos with that song, Instagram doesn’t always recognize the song which does suck it happened to me on two videos I uploaded

[@PeterGilguitar]

I’ve had the same question. Seems like there must be. Better way than this?

[@zaydherrera]

@@PeterGilguitar unless you edited the video through Instagram I don’t think there’s an easier way, and editing within Instagram I don’t think is even possible, in comparison to what your able to do on a computer

[@canvasideas]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts tips buddy. Much love

[@ErikHill1]

thanks for the video just discovered you on the YT home page on desktop, subscribed and gave a link - curious, what mic are you using? Is that the DJI mic?

[@abdulonipede3266]

So what camera do you use?

[@adrian1kfilms722]

Oh snap I saw your reel on Instagram 💯💯🔥🔥🔥

[@sevil129]

Which camera and lens you prefer for shooting viral reels?

[@ggstylz]

If only we could truly crush them!

[@oneonlyxram]

very interesting input, my reels are very hit and mostly miss. I think it is the point you made about being hooked in the first 1-3 seconds.

[@ginasoares2343]

Love your ideas and your creativity thank you for your generosity and sharing! Quick question I see you're using a Sony camera I would like to just use my Android phone. Can I still get decent reels going with that? I have a digital camera I could use I actually think my phone might be better. Please advise if you can. I'm sure there's other people out there with the same question right?👍

[@nulu5000]

hello I have a question. When I edit a reel I will use the music in the video to edit on beat and when I upload it, it uploads the reel with my original sound and not the one of the actual owner or from the instagram account where I got it from. So my question is how do I post the reel without me being the original sound?

[@ThePlantParadigm]

Your reels are king 👑

[@sophiesfamilyreview4925]

Hey! I just found you, this is such valuable info for me! Thank you! 💗

[@PeculiarPlanets]

Helpful video! Do you have any tips for slow-mo shots? Sometimes I don't know yet that I want a shot in slow-mo. Currently I'm filming everything at a higher frame rate by default just in case I want something slower (I find that if I film in 25-30fps the video gets super choppy when I slow it) but I'm wondering if you have any other tips?

[@KhwajaSaeed]

try 60fps

[@loveisathing1]

Can you show your gimbal set up , I noticed your camera is sideways

[@Henbu]

Will do! I’ll make a video about it soon 🙏

[@brianrodriguez6897]

The Ronin can easily shoot in portrait 🤟

[@sixth.memory]

Im trying to take reels and tik tok more seriously and getting creative, this was very helpful!

[@Henbu]

Nice man! Glad I can help 🙏🙏

[@CrivRex]

My town has nothing that looks like most of the great footage I see on insta. I gotta find something that looks good and locals will love to see.

[@mikulaproduction]

Hey there! Maybe a stupid question, but I would like to know where do you actually get this type of trending start footage for your reel in HQ - like the hammer on piano for instance :)

[@Journeywithjazmin]

GREAT QUESTION! I was just wondering the same!

[@mard6956]

Great video definitely waiting on those export settings!

[@BespokeFotografie]

Very interesting! Thanks for this one. 👊🏻😎

[@Kesslerlite]

Great video. would you mind covering in your next video what works best for reels? like post it on your profile (but if I do it will mess up my profile scheme) or post it and hide it after some days?

[@PhotoMarlon]

Good stuff Henbu, thanks for sharing your strategy!

[@riverrat5822]

Step 1: tease them with what's to come Step 2: Don't make it bad, make it good instead (brilliant) Step 3: deliver on step 1 but make it too fast to actually comprehend so they have to watch it again to try to understand what is going on.

[@nickspina9]

Is it best to upload reels to your feed as opposed to not? I've noticed reels that go on my feed perform a lot better view wise than when i upload and don't include them in my feed

[@kelseyreid5793]

I noticed it is better.. You can always remove them from the grid after the interactions slow down.

[@kofisikasika5603]

What kind of app you to edit the pics and videos

[@oldmodernhandicrafts]

Was kind of hoping you could explain how you edit your videos in a pro software and bring it back to the app in hopes of matching to the sounds inside instagram. My issue is I shoot from a pro camera and just bring the clips to my phone. I have come to find that the lack of color grading, or editing in a pro software has my content not looking the best; Equally an issue is the sounds in the app are not necessarily available anywhere to be sourced or exported. I imagine you just edit abunch of clips in the pro software without sound or captions -- or maybe captions are used -- and export, then go to the reel function and just piece them in that way? Any clarity would be greatly appreciated.

[@suthxvisxuals5847]

I screen record the clip save the audio on Instagram and import the screen recording into my software

[@vickiedouglas9254]

Excellent presentation. Understanding the importance the value of tik tok. Thank you

[@gavinmaloney6773]

Thank you very much for sharing these amazing tips! Sick reels btw 🔥

[@diyingzhu3877]

Great video! Thank you 😊👍👏🤩🔥💯

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Thanks for the advice sometimes I put a lot of effort into a real and it gets barely any views. Then the next one is just straight from the camera rule and gets 5 to 10,000

[@SeanAlgaze]

Yeah man, right now im having small issues transferring over to vertical filming. but its a working progress

[@likedontcostmoney5595]

What I think is also the camera people using I see a lot of Sony look but today Nikon z6 is kicking … so I don’t know

[@sarasen330]

Great video, you get to the point

[@viewswithyou]

Awesome video! Thank you so much for making quality content. We're a big fan and hope you stick with it

[@TrenTonStackZ]

Does posting at certain times of the day really affect IG's view algorithm?

[@sethcianfoni]

Great video! I’m surprised I have never seen you on my recommended for KZbin

[@makedreamsareality3634]

This was awesome!

[@David_ib]

What camera do u use for instagram and is it 4k

[@queenahill3437]

🫶🏿💯Do you. Not the algorithm. Way 2go!

[@alexamickey]

Love you content man! Thanks so much for putting good stuff out there

[@andyadm98]

in October 2021 I had 1k followers on youtube and now I'm at 65k currently. I uploaded reels almost daily and man it was worth it.

[@HamoodiClash]

What do you get ?

[@officialcisko]

Reels are definitely the way to grow and also make some income on IG

[@JosephJMcAllister]

Great video man. Thanks!

[@TheGuyJose]

Thats wild i do remember seeing that reel of that plane passing over you! I remember cause i wanted to recreate that... I live close to jfk airport in nyc

[@andrexmedia6247]

I learnt so much from this! Thank you man!

[@ArcticNorthAdventures]

thanks for sharing great tipps and insights

[@daveleclair4931]

thanks for sharing ... some great advice

[@edsongarcia7370]

Very well put great video! Lots of helpful information, Thank you! Everybody eats haha

[@5StarTeachers]

Thanks! Interesting ideas!

[@Fullofloveandlight]

I must need a new lens lol I have the kit lens to this camera and I don’t know how to them fit the ig reel size, it’s always very close up

[@Joker-li5re]

3:08 really nice

[@James-Stark]

Thank you for this wisdom I found value in this and that’s hard to come by with so many videos out there. Also, the length of this video was good because of the content, videos are too long nowadays

[@HuyRebel]

indeed! ive been growing 100k because of BTS content on reels, its fun to experiment with

[@jamalkhan-ji1en]

I don’t know how to upload reels on insta i mean I didn’t find the reels option..can anyone help 🙏

[@b.ShotMxtivation]

I heard the algorithm changed. It only shows to those who interact apparently

[@richheartpimp]

loved this video

[@monsters.invisible]

Yo Your LUT link isn't working.

[@briansingh1635]

word homie

[@MsKibibeBailey]

Thanks for this!!

[@Santafefashionweek]

Great information

[@cre8tivity06]

Wow I had no idea that was you that created that reel with the hammer on the keyboard. I saw that a few times on Tik Tok. How do you feel about this latest trend of editing real quick photo or video reels. I’m constantly seeing the ones that include the tutorial. I mean I have one on my other IG account but seems like everyone is into that fast paced photo editing for Reels (depending on song choice) now and it’s losing its originality it seems. That said I’m about to make a few more myself LOL!!!

[@gingerdeguia]

Love this tysm

[@christianpacode]

how do you upload your videos on IG without degrading the images ? I have an EOS R and whatever I upload does not look as clean as you :(
