INSTAGRAM REELS FOR CHURCHES - Why It's SO Important

[@prochurchtools]

Has your church started experimenting with Reels yet? Don't wait!

[@themitchellross]

I'd love to give it a try! Dumb question, but when you are editing these what resolution are you doing it in? Is it just 900x1600 like IG stories?

[@prochurchtools]

@@themitchellross Yeah, I use 9x16. So my actual editing timeline is set to 1080x1920.

[@ResurrectionStudentMinistries]

@@prochurchtools It is still so weird to edit in vertical!!!

[@thegrowingfaithchannel3470]

This is educational and eye-opening! I'm definitely looking into these reels. I'm certain it will help my ministry with online presence. Thanks again! 🙂🙏🏽

[@GracewoodCommunityChurch]

We have...however the Audio option isn't available on our Reels. Any reason you know why that might be? When you click audio it says "music is not available for some accounts". So sad!

[@RevJorgeDiaz]

Great content! Now off to my daughter who’ll run this for us since I’m way too old to figure it out 😂

[@yllorco2]

Really cool! Thanks!

[@davidcu629]

You fill my heart with inspiration from God ,thanks man :')

[@heatherhudson7322]

This is great! And so helpful for starting a conversation with my team.

[@jo-annethomas5453]

You always give us "more" and keep us going forward - Thank you Brady!

[@prochurchtools]

You bet!

[@prochurchtools]

Make sure you're subscribed to the podcast! We're bringing back the longer-form show in podcast form very soon. 👍

[@PerkkiXWWE]

@@prochurchtools awesome. Really glad to hear that.

[@williambrooks5211]

Everything you said in this video about reels is exactly how I can to know you and follow you. Saw your reel on editing church photos part 3, loved that you conveyed an entire valuable idea in 15 seconds, wanted to see more, went and watched more, followed your page, watched your 45 min video on social media content for churches and now I’m a fan! Thanks Brady! You’re the 🐐!!!

[@prochurchtools]

Wow. I really appreciate you sharing that, William :) So glad to hear.

[@williambrooks5211]

@@prochurchtools You bet man! Keep it up!

[@TheCOPBelfast]

Thank you, Brady. Very useful.

[@iRefresh]

Great advise and instruction. Appreciate the tips and how to!

[@siphiwepandeka339]

I found this very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@TomMepham17]

Thanks Brady

[@ResurrectionStudentMinistries]

Good Stuff. It feels like when Facebook Live started.

[@sophiaharris7849]

really great video!!

[@RefugeCalvaryChapel]

Can you do a video of ways you would use Reels for a church? Like you have for posting social media? I am adopting your Sprint and Sprinkle approach and I am unsure of how to use that approach with reels. Also, the programs/equipment you use to create your videos. thanks! 4m the noob

[@prochurchtools]

I use DaVinci Resolve to create all my Reels. It's free! Also, for all your Reels questions - make sure to watch the video all the way through once or twice. All the answers are in there.

[@BenjaminKeller]

Not sure how you choose your topics, but I'd be interested in some kind of music related videos. Everything from what to use, where to buy and how to edit. All the aspects of rights, emotions, taste and more.

[@prochurchtools]

We use Soundstripe!

[@BenjaminKeller]

For real now, WE NEED ALEX BACK. // Videos without Alex are just not the same. First of all because monologs are not as engaging and second because I love Alex 😄

[@joshuacarpenter9317]

With you by any chance be doing a video about live streaming specifically including worship service? Our church just recently purchased a license through ccli but we've noticed KZbin doesn't like that license very much and we had to suspend KZbin broadcasting because of advertisements that we couldn't control. Would definitely love to see your insight there

[@prochurchtools]

Plenty of videos on live streaming - just search the channel!

[@marysweet6391]

Well, TikTok went away last night, so Reels seems to be a good replacement, except for the limited recording time.

[@prochurchtools]

The TikTok ban actually got delayed. And an acquisition agreement is in place with Oracle/Wal-Mart - so looks like it's here to stay.

LIKE!

[@AntonioToney]

Hey! I'm wondering how I could write the script for these reels using the information and themes from the sermons, but written for reels 15 sec limit. Any tips or tricks? How does this look in the context of the felt needs of a congregation?

[@wessroot6537]

you appreciate me

[@bergerolivier-graceilunga797]

Can't u provide french subtittles? Please.

[@prochurchtools]

We upload English subtitles - just use the Auto-Translate feature of KZbin and our subtitles will be translated to whichever language you prefer!

[@JeffBransonMusic]

I can't seem to get the music feature to work on Reels. Is it because my our church's instagram is a business account?

[@prochurchtools]

You're not alone! Doesn't work for me either. The roll-out has been slow.

[@crossroadslaredo4864]

what is the process of recording your voiceover for the reel?

[@prochurchtools]

Just talk in to a mic! Or your phone!

[@jeremybatchelor7667]

Liked it so much, I hit like twice! jk jk
