I’ve been off social media for 10 years and since I started it back up for my small business, I’ve been completely lost! I can’t thank you enough for your videos! Thank you thank you!!!

[@StephanieKase]

I'm so happy you found this channel!!

[@theozarksjourneytoself-suf5420]

I feel your pain!!!!!!

[@TheFitTherapist]

I’ve only been off for 2 and am completely lost!! This stuff changes so fast.

[@boymom4boys]

I totally understand I was off 3 years just came back to it I feel lost

[@Cositahermosa]

same here 👍🏼

[@Lilaccherryblossom24]

I'm scared of how useful this app was thank youuuu... hadn't seen anything useful in a while.

[@StephanieKase]

Woohoo!!

[@FoundersHealth]

This is so helpful. Thank you! Would you mind sharing also how you’re filming your YT videos? The lighting and settings are perfect. Are you filming on an iPhone or a real camera?

[@StephanieKase]

A DSLR! Here's my setup! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g57PooqhiLKKiKs

[@FoundersHealth]

THANK YOU!!! @@StephanieKase

[@sharonmuenker]

this was excellent..for us who are older and really new to us, a bit was too fast or presuming that I would (I should ) know how to use the white bar/arrows to shorten or pull out clips.. Can you explain that in further detail or do you have a more remedial tut that would give me the baby steps I need? thanks, this was the best I've seen so far and you are so charismatic and pretty.

[@StephanieKase]

Hi, Sharon!! Glad you found this channel! I have two videos that might help. This one is my mid 2023 reels update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roiVpYShfK2DfqM And this one is specifically about adding/editing text, but I think it might help with your editing question as the trim concept looks the same! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqjEo4qpl52mq8k

[@Lizsr67]

The best reels tutorial I’ve seen so far!! Thanks for making it easy to follow and understand. Specially for people in my age bracket (50) that didn’t grow up with all this technology and I can be a bit of a challenge.

[@StephanieKase]

How kind!! So glad it was helpful!! Let us know if you have specific questions!!

[@ButtonedUpKnits]

Well done except one missing feature: hashtags. You may explain it in another video, but isn't that what generated views? Need further explanation.

[@SajMcKenley]

This is a great tutorial. I came here to figure out how the text feature works and you explained it perfectly. Thank you!

[@StephanieKase]

Yay!! Thanks for watching!

[@jazzgill7661]

Hey! Thank you for making this guide! I’ve been going crazy over here trying to figure out how to make reels for past 3 days for my small business that I’m just starting with! Genuinely, may god bless you and your soul for this ❤❤

[@StephanieKase]

I'm so glad you're here, friend!! Wishing you all the best in your small business!

[@bcdkatargettv]

This video can help a lot to those just beginning in making reels.

[@StephanieKase]

Thanks!

[@StandOutStaples]

The best Reels 101 tutorial I’ve ever seen. Although I know these basics, it’s always great to refresh my memory and a great reminder on using different settings, which we all tend to forget to use. Sharing it with my friends, who were intimidated to make Reels due to lack of knowledge 🥰 Thanks so much, Stephanie, keep them coming, please! 👏❤️🤗

[@StephanieKase]

Thanks, Marina!! I love this comment so much!

[@ginadenisigarrett5910]

I love all of the information. Thank you so much. As a classroom teacher, I would recommend/love it if you could slow down a bit. You have such great information, but you speak very quickly for a first time learner. Thanks.

[@StephanieKase]

Sorry about that!! If it helps, try slowing down the speed of the video in the settings!

[@ahgasezrz]

Literally the best reel tutorial I've seen so far. Thanks a lot for this!

[@StephanieKase]

So glad it was useful!! Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Very informative. I’m pretty new to instagram. Trying to learn how to navigate it. I will look into this more!

Im 43 years old and have instagram account for over 5 years and I had no idea you can swipe to see more options. All i do is post pictures on them for 5 years. I feel like im 80 years old on how to really use instagram. Thanks for your videos. Makes me feel young again.

[@StephanieKase]

[@ithalia77]

When creating a reel, do you create it within the IG app or do you video on your phone then edit it in IG?

[@StephanieKase]

I film in the camera app, edit in IG!

[@sabrinaklimkiewicz3018]

Hi Stephanie, you can determine how long the text or the emogis can be on the screen, they dont' need to be there the whole time. You only need to tap on the emogi, for example and at the bottom it will give you the option for when it start and end showing on the screen

[@krk6216]

Nice thanks!

[@laurabeltran3746]

Thx! Was struggling with this!

[@loriabusteau7572]

How? Do you mean when they pop up, and then the text leaves?

[@sabrinaklimkiewicz3018]

Yes

[@vodkasmadka]

Great tutorial. Also, do you use your smartphone to do all your reels?

[@StephanieKase]

I film some on my phone and some on my DSLR! Mostly on my phone though. And I edit them on my phone, as well!

I'm so happy this video was helpful! 💛

[@breathefitness]

Hey Stephanie. Do you know if you can start an audio (insta music) halfway through a reel instead of the beginning?

[@StephanieKase]

You cannot! I'd recommend adjusting the audio level or using the voice over feature instead.

[@StephanieKase]

There is not! Either use the caption to direct your audience to the link in your bio, or use Manychat to create an automation! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH6VmKWZhrGZp7M

[@Naturally_LB]

@@StephanieKase that is what I was thinking. Thank you!

[@OpalWade]

Do I have to edit the videos first before adding them in IG? I feel like I struggled with adding short videos for transitions, and it would cut my videos off. IDK what I did wrong.

[@StephanieKase]

You can edit them directly in IG! That's what we do! Some prefer editing in Canva, InShot or CapCut, though!

[@juliefoley6407]

So good ,but I needed the slow mo version😄Will just watch a million times before it makes sensce!!

[@rachelernest8811]

If you want a song to play during the whole reel, will any audio of the video be muted? Play at the same time? Mute the song? Or is there a way to decided for each clip?

[@StephanieKase]

You can adjust the audio levels for the entire reel! I think you could work around adjusting levels for each individual clip, but it would get tricky. I would recommend keeping it consistent across all of your clips!

Great tutorial. Can you add piece together 2 different videos into one reel? And also, what if you have some sound on the video, will adding music override the video sound? Thanks Stephanie!

[@StephanieKase]

Hi, Lucy! Great question! Yes, you can add multiple videos into one reel (you just want to make sure the audio is long enough to cover both). In the final edit screen when creating a reel, tap on the music not icon to adjust the audio levels. You can keep the original audio or mute it!
