This update alters how users and social media influencers create and watch short-form videos. This way, users can create a unique reel and add up to 20 tracks.
Instagram is a video and photo-sharing Social Media platform. Meta Platforms owns the Social Media page. Instagram allows users to post and share photos and videos. The original difference between Instagram and other Social Media Platforms is the way a user can post an image. The users could post content only in a square aspect ratio of 640 pixels. It happened because the Social Media platform matched the width of the iPhone then. The new updates made Instagram trendy. Many users started a career on Instagram. Nowadays, people refer to these users as social media influencers.
The Reels appeared in November 2019, in Brazil. The functionality is similar to the Chinese platform, TikTok. On Instagram reels, users and social media influencers can make up a video to 15 seconds. Instagram announced a new update that is available to users starting on Tuesday. They can make Instagram reels and add different audio tracks. Instagram will recognize it as belonging to the user. This update will allow other people to share or reuse it. This type of video can be made in CapCut or TikTok. However, Instagram removes the need for users and social media influencers to use another editor to mix tracks.
Adam Mosseri is the head of Instagram. He said: “It turns out the long-form video is less symbiotic with these other jobs. If you watch a 10- or 20-minute video, you see less content from friends, you interact with your friends less, and you’re less likely to send that content or that video to a friend.” Users and social media influencers create Instagram reels, expanding their Instagram audience rapidly.
This update of Instagram reels has a captivating aspect. A creator can sync different sounds with a specific moment from their video. The social media influencer or user can schedule a music track to start when a new scene appears. This update also lets musicians, comedians, or podcasters add voiceovers or their music.
To use the new feature of Instagram Reels, a user hits the ”add to mix” button. This button appears in Instagram’s video editor. After that, the social media influencer or user can pick- what tracks to include, what part of the songs, and where to include them.
Social media influencers view the update for Instagram reels as a beneficial addition. The process of making a reel will be ready faster. Instagram has come up with a fresh trend, which will wave fresh content in feeds. This feature is one aspect that even TikTok doesn’t have yet. The users need to use a third-party app to get many songs to their videos.
