Fast forward to 2020, and we&#8217;re experiencing a little bit of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. With TikTok&#8217;s rising popularity, Facebook has been looking on enviously (and worriedly, no doubt) for a while now.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2385 size-full\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4eb3ccff7d8f5c51d70f84c59d580680e30ca283.jpg\&quot;" alt=\"tiktok rival of insta reels\" width=\"702\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4eb3ccff7d8f5c51d70f84c59d580680e30ca283.jpg 702w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2021\ 01\ 4eb3ccff7d8f5c51d70f84c59d580680e30ca283-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \ /><\/p>\n<p>Photo by\u00a0<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@solenfeyissa?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\&quot;">Solen Feyissa<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/tiktok?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\&quot;">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What is Instagram Reels?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no surprise then, to see the launch of their latest feature on Instagram: IG Reels. A clear rival to\u00a0<a href="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/find-the-best-tiktok-songs-collection\/\&quot;" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a>, IG Reels allows Instagram users to record and edit together videos anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds long. The user can set these clips to music along with a host of other audio options, effects, filters and creative tricks before sharing them to Instagram Stories, to the Explore Feed and to the brand new Reels tab on their profile.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in any doubt about how serious Facebook and Instagram are about this new feature, take a look at the latest app update. Where the &#8216;New Post&#8217; button used to be\u2014a button front and center at the bottom of the screen and something that&#8217;s become a reflex or all of us\u2014now sits the &#8216;IG Reels&#8217; button. Like with Stories, they want to make IG Reels a success and are doing everything they can to get as many eyeballs on it as possible.<\/p>\n<p>With a new feature comes new opportunities. Although part of the Instagram platform, IG Reels offers anyone the chance to become a creator and reach new audiences worldwide. So, how do you use it?<\/p>\n<h2>Accessing Instagram Reels<\/h2>\n<p>You can access and create your new IG Reels video in several different ways: through the Instagram home screen, the Reels tab or the Instagram Stories camera itself.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you&#8217;re on Instagram Reels already, simply tap the camera icon in the top right corner.<\/li>\n<li>Navigating from the Instagram home screen, tap the &#8216;+&#8217; icon (the new &#8216;New Post&#8217; button) in the top right corner. From here, swipe through the menu options to &#8216;Reel.&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, if you&#8217;re on the Instagram Stories camera, simply swipe right on the bottom menu to the &#8216;Reel&#8217; option between &#8216;Story&#8217; and &#8216;Live.&#8217; All simple enough, right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Creating your video for IG Reels<\/h2>\n<p>On your Reels video screen, you&#8217;ll see many options on the left-hand side:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Length<\/li>\n<li>Audio<\/li>\n<li>Speed<\/li>\n<li>Effects<\/li>\n<li>Timer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tapping the\u00a0<em>Length<\/em>\u00a0icon switches you between 15-second or 30-second-long videos.<\/p>\n<p>Tapping the\u00a0<em>Audio<\/em>\u00a0icon takes you to the Instagram Music Library where you can search for the song you want to overlay your video. Make sure it&#8217;s catchy or suits the vibe you&#8217;re going for!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2386 size-full\" src="\&quot;https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/7233ffe7969e87ecde3020bb932776665a3725e5.jpg\&quot;" alt=\"Get royalty free bangers for your insta reels\" width=\"389\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new-blog.artlist.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/7233ffe7969e87ecde3020bb932776665a3725e5.jpg 389w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2021\ 01\ 7233ffe7969e87ecde3020bb932776665a3725e5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\ \ new-blog.artlist.io\ blog\ wp-content\ uploads\ 2021\ 01\ 7233ffe7969e87ecde3020bb932776665a3725e5-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \ />Check out this hand-picked collection of summer Pop hits<\/p>\n<p>Also, bear in mind, you can use your own original audio when you record the reel. A cool feature here is that the audio is attributed to you when you share that reel with the original audio. If your account is public, other users can then create their own reels using your audio. (They&#8217;ll see a &#8216;Use Audio&#8217; option at the bottom of their screen when watching your video).<\/p>\n<p>Next, tapping the\u00a0<em>Speed<\/em>\u00a0icon allows you to either speed up or slow down your selected videos and audio. This will help you stay in time with the music or make cool slow-motion videos.<\/p>\n<p>Below\u00a0<em>Speed<\/em>, you&#8217;ll find the\u00a0<em>Effects<\/em>\u00a0icon to add all kinds of filters and different AR effects sourced from the Instagram Effect Gallery. These are created by both Instagram and creators from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, use the\u00a0<em>Timer<\/em>\u00a0icon to record any of your clips hands-free (especially useful for dancing). You can change both the time of the countdown until the recording begins (a classic 3-2-1 usually works), as well as how long until the recording starts.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve got all this setup, hold down the big red button in the middle bottom of the screen to record! Much like TikTok (and Vine before it), as soon as you lift your thumb off the record button, the clip is cut.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve shot that first clip, you&#8217;ll now notice that there&#8217;s the &#8216;<em>Align<\/em>&#8216; option that&#8217;s pretty handy in the way it allows you to line up your next shot with the previous one. This works perfectly for seamless transitions and other cool tricks that work so well on these short-video sharing platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, instead of shooting your IG Reel in the app, there&#8217;s also the option in the bottom left corner of the screen to bring in pre-recorded videos from your device.<\/p>\n<p>If at any point you&#8217;d like to trim or delete some of the clips recorded, simply tap the Back Arrow button to the left of the Record button. Here, you can either tap the Scissors icon to trim or the Bin icon to delete. Easy.<\/p>\n<p>Next, once you&#8217;re satisfied with your Reel video, tap the Forward arrow (the icon that sits to the right of Record). Here, you have the option to add some text, drawings or GIFs and stickers. By design, this all feels very similar to the options available on IG Stories.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"183\" class=\"elementor elementor-183\"
