[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome, cheers - Hazel, PV Team

[@notyourwaifu9692]

Hi PV Team, was Jordana here filming with the front camera or rear? Filming with the front camera is annoying because you can't see yourself, but the back camera is so much better quality! Would you recommend using the front camera for filming reels?

[@jnturner506]

Agree with other reviewers - really helpful to get up to speed and get it right (and nice to have a Brit accent as well ;-))

[@PrimalVideo]

Awesome, cheers 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@DeniseWillerton]

can i use a pre recorded video for a reel ~ then speed that up when I post to instagram!

[@juancamilobermudezmolina]

This is so useful! Do you or does anyone know why I don't have the CC sticker option available? I thought maybe it wasn't available for Spanish or in Spain, but it seems like it _is_ available... I just can't figure it out. Pls help and thanks!

[@PiaVogel]

I see you do radio show... I'm doing it too. I've recorded some Audio interviews how would you suggest using them in Instagram?

[@roverdover4449]

After clicking "layout", I get the split screen, but there is no option to change it. Love the video, thanks!

[@bishbz]

Great tutorial, one question for the community, I don't have the align feature on my tools list (android phone), updates all up to date, any ideas why?

[@wholearmor]

Strange. Android Galaxy S24+, no greenscreen feature. Everything else but that. 5 months after this video was posted.

[@roaming2own]

This was so helpful. Thanks for the content

[@PrimalVideo]

So glad it helped, you're welcome 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

Awesome, thanks - Hazel, PV Team

[@michelleadams5609]

So timely. You all are lifesavers. Cheers.

[@PastelKenshi]

Lifesavers 😂 proper devaluation of vocabulary these days

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks, Michelle - Hazel, PV Team

[@michelleadams5609]

@@PastelKenshi i’m sorry that you have the time to make a little snarky comment to a random stranger who has been immersed in legal documents up to her eyeballs. Just so you know, that was not a proper devaluation of English vocabulary, but a common usage of the word lifesaver In common breezy parlance.

[@pricylmy5091]

how to add cover for the remixed reels?

[@SherryXShi]

How did you edit this video? 😅

[@kimireland2666]

Thanks so much, old newbie here and this was soooo helpful.

[@PrimalVideo]

Awesome, so glad it helped Kim - Hazel, PV Team

[@onlyjatingupta]

I do not see capcut in my region Can you suggest some other free editing app? One important thing is that I want an app that lets me place my font freely, have 2 audios at the same time and lower the audio in some part as i require.

[@user-ls9ur5ch9j]

Your videos are highly educational and informative...keep up the good job💞💞

[@PrimalVideo]

Thank you so much - Hazel, PV Team

[@briannayoung6006]

How do people post cropped items onto a background for memes(?

[@cynthiae]

Hi Jordana! This was extremely helpful, I really appreciate you sharing it!! Can you please consider doing a video for IG Reels to show in detail all the features for TEXT and TEXT editing? I can't figure out how to replicate all the TEXT features I see in other reels I watch. That would be amazing! :) Oh! And if you could comment on whether TEXT and TEXT features are carried over on Templates. Is there a way to KEEP the text you see on templates and just replace it with your own text the same way you just replace with your own vid clips? Thanks a million!

[@heatherlippert3208]

So no issues with licensing wi ty music from instagram reels and sharing the reel to Facebook?

[@disha7493]

They way said "in the back of mind" while talking about music, so cute

[@PrimalVideo]

Nice, thanks - Hazel, PV Team

[@bhagyashreerajurkar10]

Thank you for the video, also i am from India i don't know if it's an area specific feature you mentioned of dragging and rearranging the clips on the time line, I tried that but it didn't allow me to do so, so thought how silly off then not have this option, recently came across your video .. and you said it's possible so tried going back and finding if I am doing anything wrong but it's i am not able to ..so any help ..here ?

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

fantastic, thank you! hey, doesn't tiktok also have align feaature??? i've been looking for it!

[@TheJordanaGrace]

not that i've seen - but your features can be different depending on the region you're in!

[@markastley7277]

Is there an updated video with all the new effects that IG have bought out in 2024?

[@nursepthespiritualist3064]

WELL explained!!! Thank you!

[@PrimalVideo]

No problem, glad you liked it - Hazel, PV Team

[@KKSlivechannel1329]

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - Hazel, PV Team

[@user-de5kb9jh3u]

Good video

[@PrimalVideo]

Thank you - Hazel, PV Team

[@prettylagoon]

No watermark on dl? I still have it. Also is it AI that patrols for audio usage?

[@GieMuzik40]

This feature is only for users, with 1000 followers or more.

[@ivanmedina2281]

Whats another iPhone app that can do this?

[@RFC72]

I've switched from iPhone to Samsung and have now lost the "adjust section" feature only on specific accounts and only on Samsung. Is this a Samsung glitch? I'm kinda bummed because that slip feature is crucial for timed audio.

[@isabelcortes8540]

How do you put voice overs

[@rhiannonrhiannon6285]

What are clips...did you take more than one 30 second clip?

[@sueoneill6171]

I just want to make a reel with multiple pictures and make it cute?? What happened to that part?

[@isha7238]

Ussss 😭

[@kimhunter5164]

Just the same but you use your photos

[@LeslieGrantlovefaithhope]

Ivory mix here on YT has a video on how to make a simple photo only reel using Canva.

[@MSGaming-lr6oi]

L😊😊

[@dalianodaliano7114]

if I create a reel using any editor then add a song to that reel and upload it to instagram. is this allowed or do I have to upload my video without music then use the music inside instagram app and select it from their list ? (I'm talking about famous singers not the copyright free music)

[@starholedesigns]

I've noticed on my reels where I had popular audio that it gets fluffed if I don't name the artist on the audio inbthe advanced menu

[@insidedianeslife2456]

You have a lot more options on your screen than I have. I have an android. Does that make a difference with my options? I have music, effects green screen (though only one option), video length/ 1x, and video layout. Are the rest hidden somewhere?

[@starholedesigns]

I have the same question

[@mimico5138]

Wait how to do the caption from Instagram? I don't have that

[@Biancafallani01]

I have a question hopefully anyone can reply i only have a iPad and iPhone iPad is my main device i do not own a computer nor will i ever but can you make videos like professionally with just a iPhone as a camera and iPad with editing and uploads

[@chrisfoxworth3228]

how come no option on my phone for green screen!? i have s24

[@SonuBoy-jp5cc]

❤❤❤😅😮😢😮

[@robertjcurrie7138]

Hoe do you get you key pad to show up?

[@SteveHarmony3]

Nice! Great advice, thanks for sharing! The Hand Gesture start, stop doesn't work too well for me. I tend to use my hands a lot when I talk, Haha! 😅

[@barshabarsa5749]

how to get video into clip( 11:42) I didn't get how u did in 11:42

[@lorenandre63]

Instagram reels, British girl, Public or private school accent ?

[@eNScoobana]

whenever I post a reel only my friends (followers) can see it, I do not have any likes from strangers, like it has not been pushed to the broader audience but just my followers... Do you have any advice?

[@TheHardR]

Is your stuff set on public? That might be the problem

[@cx1291]

I don't see any green screen.

[@junokim9419]

When I’m making reels, only certain music will come out. How do we access all the music Instagram offers? I will save some music as well and try to create it through the bookmarked section, but sometimes the music will not sound. Do you know why it glitches this way?

[@LOADING...o.o.o]

What is the point of Reel if I don’t get any views or likes? I usually post regular pictures or story and I get more likes than Reel. I don’t want to post reel anymore.

[@catherineduncan6611]

I’ve gained more followers for my business simply from reels. It seems to reach a larger audience

[@danjones3009]

Tutorial starts at 1:07 Ugh.

[@giabellablue]

Background music is annoying 😢

[@cathychats]

caput will be banned along with TikTok
