I'm not sure how people are making reels so smoothly, every time I try to make one Instagram glitches multiple times and deletes clips off my video or the video all together. it's extremely frustrating and on top of that, I also try to save audios with the little bookmark icon but as soon as I hit, Instagram quickly glitches and deletes the audio. This is just a couple glitches out of so many I have experienced daily while im trying to make a reels for my small business. So discouraging😢 also for original audio. I don't even have an option that says "import"

Are transition no longer a feature?? I cant seem to locate them now.

I HATE this new reels editor! It is seriously so bad... It is not easy or instictive at all, I'm going mad trying to modify and cut my clips. I'm just about to upload a different editing app and just throw the already edited thing on Instagram. I really can't understand why they updated something that used to work so smoothly...

[ciao]

Why did they change it? I’ve had such a hard time figuring out how to edit now…making my clips shorter. ahhhh thanks for your help. Hope this helps haha

[barbellblondie]

Thank you for going over this. I seem to be having a lot of glitches since the most recent update, so it's great to see someone else using it. Thank you!

Do you know how existing reels can be added to the TV series I created previously?

[SavannaWilson-nunc]

I’m having issues adding more than one clip. When I try to add clip the way I used to it like tries to finish the reel

[Vedrajrm]

The new update is so annoying. When I choose a photo that’s a Live Photo, it chooses it as a 2 second video, there is no option to use it as a photo ( couldn’t find it) if you know how, please let Me know

[irvinoneil]

Is there a way to adjust the placement of the music? Say if you want to start the music 10s into the video because you want to use the original audio at the beginning.

[abbellodenonna]

Hi! How can i change clips position on Android? I can't drag these. :/

[ashleystuart]

Why is nobody talking about the deleted reel cover photos? Reels look like garbage on a photographers profile now.

[TheAngusKwan]

Hey! Have you encountered an issue where one of your accounts doesnt have the updated editor? I still have the old editor on one of my accounts. Any workaround?

[BlueGlow]

Seems like the length of the audio is not adjustable 😢

[mwbawesomev]

Is there still a way to slow down or speed up a video in a reel? You use to be able to speed it up to 3X or make it slowmo

[christinamatthews]

What about replacing a video clip you filmed in the app? Is there a way to re-record a clip I’ve already filmed? I know IG likes when people are filming directly in the app and I like the filters, so I’m trying to figure out how to do a take, scrap it and do another with the same filter, setup and time increment.

[marisaleigh]

The one thing I don’t understand about the new format is how I can go in and adjust one very long clip, and cut it into parts. Every time I click on the yellow. if I only have a little bit of time left, it doesn’t let me select the part of the clip that I actually want to show, particularly, if the clip I want to use is actually at the end of the video I’ve taken.

Hi, thank you for your video. Do you have any tips on how to change the duration of the custom graphics that I added to the real. I copy and paste my canva graphics into reel, but it won't recognize custom graphics at the bottom of the screen in order to trim it. Thank you for your help

[nancythompson]

This is way beyond me; am a zero base beginner trying to create & post my very first reel.

[demorez]

how can i resize, trim and zoom the inddivual pictures that form the reel?

[teatimewithtrish]

I spent all day feeling like I was gonna rip my hair out of my head because I couldn't figure out how to get my text on the next slide and all the videos I was seeing wasnt the updated verson. thank you so much. do you have a program? I desperately need this to put myself out there so I can create and attract clients into my business. thank you.
