Instagram announced some changes to its poland mobile database tool on Wednesday (23). From now on, content can be up to 30 seconds long. At launch, the limit was just 15 seconds.
Reels allows you to record short videos with special effects and soundtracks. The editing format is quite similar to that of the Chinese app TikTok , which allows videos up to one minute long.
Instagram has also made it easier to trim and delete any part of a video. Finally, the recording timer can now be up to 10 seconds long.
How does it work?

To create a Reel, you need to access specific functionality for that content in the camera section.
Content of this type that is published on Instagram can appear in the feed of people who follow you or be accessed in a separate tab within your profile.
See what tools are available to create Reels:
Audio : you can select a song or audio that already exists in the Instagram library;
Speed : allows you to speed up or slow down the video frames;
Timer and countdown : allows the user to record hands-free or synchronize the recording with the chosen music;
Instagram filters and effects : filters that already exist on the social network, such as green screen, will be available;
Editing tool : allows you to make cuts and add new scenes to the video, with different sections, which can be ordered. You can also review the section by clicking on the image, or delete it and record it again.
