They are fun to watch and fun to create. Well, most of the time, it&#8217;s fun to create. Sometimes, video creation makes you feel like you have to be James Cameron. The video creators make feature films with their cell phones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is that the only way for your videos to go viral on the platform? We don&#8217;t think so. Some very popular content requires little effort. You could benefit from this content as well. You don&#8217;t have to break a sweat to make videos people watch repeatedly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will give you three tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/how-to-edit-a-reel-on-instagram-for-best-results\">how to edit Reels on Instagram<\/a> effectively without much effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Use_B-Roll_Content\"><\/span>1. Use B-Roll Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be waiting for an event where you are wearing the best outfit. You might be waiting for a trip with the best scenery. You can&#8217;t wait around for something special to happen to create content. That can be quite expensive and cause you to waste valuable time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have useful B-Roll content to make good Reels right now. Let&#8217;s talk about what qualifies as a type of content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Videos of your feet walking along the pavement or grass.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A panning shot of sunrise or sunset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A video of yourself typing on your laptop at a desk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A video of you opening the door to your apartment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aesthetic video of you cleaning a room in your house.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A video of you waking up out of bed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A video of you unpacking groceries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A video of your food at a restaurant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A video of you driving on the road.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A quick video of you pouring a glass of water, wine, or a cocktail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We can explain the science behind why this is so effective. The focal point of these videos is the text on the screen. Viewers will read the text to know what you have to say. The video is just for the background. The text may be so long that the video has to loop for them to watch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/instagrams-algorithm-beat-the-system-to-boost-visibility\">Instagram algorithm<\/a>, people have to watch your videos multiple times because they\u2019re so good. This tactic will work well if you can get videos that seamlessly loop. Add your special effects afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-7593774.jpg\" alt=\"How To Make Good Reels That Leave an Impression, image \u21162\" class=\"wp-image-6244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-7593774.jpg 640w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-7593774-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-7593774-16x24.jpg 16w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-7593774-24x36.jpg 24w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-mikhail-nilov-7593774-32x48.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Repurpose_High-Quality_Shots\"><\/span>2. Repurpose High-Quality Shots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recycling is great for the environment. It\u2019s a great practice to bring to your Reels as well. Think about that video that did well. It had a lot of video clips from the specific event. Maybe you can\u2019t recreate all of those variables for another Instagram Reel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider using those clips again for a separate video. But this time, you could revamp it in full. You can use a different Instagram hashtag and create a different caption altogether. This way, we can reach a different demographic that the first video could not reach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s use <a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/how-to-become-a-fitness-influencer-and-make-the-real-gains\">fitness content<\/a>. Let&#8217;s say you created a Reel with clips of you at the gym. You showed off different exercises for you and your followers. You notice that you wore different outfits. You have the material to make a fashion Reel for athleisure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t have to re-film anything. You need to rearrange the clips and add a different audio. Of course, the caption and hashtags will have to be different. Now, you are appealing to a fashion crowd, not just a fitness crowd. This tactic can apply to many kinds of content on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Save_Content_to_Drafts\"><\/span>3. Save Content to Drafts&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not have all the tools you need for your IG Reel. You have a great concept, but you are missing some key elements. Don\u2019t give up on the Reel completely! Save what you have to Drafts. As you continue to amass relevant footage, you can edit clips for the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels like a lot of effort because you think you have to make the entire video at once. That&#8217;s not the case at all. Making these videos will seem easier when you break up the labor over time. It also allows you to go back and edit parts that you think no longer represent you. It\u2019s how to make good Instagram Reels under very little pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-george-milton-6953860-1.jpg\" alt=\"How To Make Good Reels That Leave an Impression, image \u21163\" class=\"wp-image-6246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-george-milton-6953860-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-george-milton-6953860-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-george-milton-6953860-1-16x24.jpg 16w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-george-milton-6953860-1-24x36.jpg 24w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-george-milton-6953860-1-32x48.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Choose_the_Best_Instagram_Reel_Lengths_for_Your_Content\"><\/span>How To Choose the Best Instagram Reel Lengths for Your Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find a lot of information on Reel length, depending on where you read it. And the truth is that the ideal length depends on your brand\u2019s content. We can&#8217;t tell you what is ideal without knowing what you post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can give you three scenarios where particular lengths are more appropriate. Hopefully, this action will help you decide on Instagram Reels lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Some_Keep_It_Short\"><\/span>1. Some Keep It Short<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating short videos has a benefit. It takes advantage of Instagram users&#8217; short attention spans. A short video has a higher chance of replays. Sometimes, long videos take a while to get to the point. People may scroll away before the video really takes off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A seven-second video might be enough to summarize a weekend or an event. If so, you should take advantage of it. Watching for three seconds counts as a view, so short videos can increase your chances of getting a view this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the video short if you don&#8217;t have something to rant about. Some people put the bulk of what they have to say in the caption. It is a trick to get people to replay the video unwittingly. Not everyone will have the patience to read through a caption when they could&#8217;ve just listened to a video. This tactic may not work for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Others_Prefer_It_When_They_Are_Longer\"><\/span>2. Others Prefer It When They Are Longer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a strong fanbase, they may like your long rants. They consider you a friend, and they love listening to your views. If so, a long video might be ideal for that. Some Stories just don&#8217;t work for short videos. A short video could work to show off the overview of an event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you need a longer video to explain all the behind-the-scenes drama. For example, maybe you are a <a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/how-to-become-a-travel-influencer-lets-get-moving\">travel influencer<\/a>. A short video is great for showing the epic scenery and the shots of you walking through an airport.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A long video is great for discussing how to get a visa or security measures while traveling alone. Instagram videos might find entertainment value in either video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Post_at_Optimal_Times\"><\/span>3. Post at Optimal Times<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The length of your video may depend on the time you post it. A long video may not bode well in the morning as people rush to work. It may work better when they are unwinding after a long day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some people like to start the day with substantial inspirational content. If that is your content, it may be appropriate for the morning. It truly depends on your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, choosing the length of your Reels is purely situational. You just need to know when a certain length applies. This is how to make good Instagram Reels for your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-plann-2999237-4549413.jpg\" alt=\"How To Make Good Reels That Leave an Impression, image \u21164\" class=\"wp-image-6248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-plann-2999237-4549413.jpg 640w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-plann-2999237-4549413-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-plann-2999237-4549413-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-plann-2999237-4549413-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-plann-2999237-4549413-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Instagram_Reels_Tips_To_Put_Your_Videos_on_the_Map\"><\/span>3 Instagram Reels Tips To Put Your Videos on the Map<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These Instagram Reels did not exist years ago. We are still working out the kinks to make it work for our brand. As we all learn, we share the knowledge. They are not like regular Instagram posts. Different rules apply. It&#8217;s a different culture altogether.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure you&#8217;re making the best of this feature, here are three Instagram Reels tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Schedule_Your_Reels\"><\/span>1. Schedule Your Reels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IG seems to be making it easy for your Reels to do well. Your Instagram Insights will tell you when your followers are most likely online. You can see that that is the best time to post your content. But what if you can\u2019t be online at that time?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe being near your phone just isn\u2019t an option. Should you just miss the opportunity?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Instagram, you can time content to go live at an optimal time. You don&#8217;t have to be on the app for it to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edit everything up to the cover photo.

Popular IG challenges are a great way to increase reach on the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using trending audio clips from the music library is a must when making Reels. IG uses this tactic to increase the reach of IG Reels. It could do wonders for your view count. Original audio just won\u2019t cut it the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Use_Templates\"><\/span>3.

Some use <a href=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/instagram-reel-template-simplify-your-content-production\">Reel templates<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do this, your video clips fit perfectly within a template. This template is a creation of another Instagram user. You can also use their template if you like how they edited their Reel. You can have those seamless transitions as well.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-samson-katt-5225492.jpg\" alt=\"How To Make Good Reels That Leave an Impression, image \u21166\" class=\"wp-image-6250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-samson-katt-5225492.jpg 640w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-samson-katt-5225492-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-samson-katt-5225492-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-samson-katt-5225492-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/plixi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-samson-katt-5225492-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Make_a_Good_Reel_Popular\"><\/span>How To Make a Good Reel Popular<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know what it&#8217;s like to create something amazing.

It makes them want to comment more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Share_Your_Stories_Immediately\"><\/span>3.
