have to try so let's get into it now let me show you a new type of filter that is actually quite hidden when you start a new reel and take a video or add a video from your gallery like this one for example and then go to the next step where you can start adding effects here is where we can add a new type of filter by clicking on that music icon then clicking the edit button and now you can

made it really easy to add so once you've gone into your gallery and collected whatever footage it is you'd like to add to your reel just click the next icon and remember if you're not happy with the

the bottom right you will now see sound effects these are all the various sound effects you can use on your reels and at the bottom you can use the playhead to scrub through your video and add those sound effects at the perfect time you can also separately adjust the audio of all of them and just like that you can stitch a whole bunch of sound effects together to create different creative reels i mean this is so damn cool so instagram have actually made it a lot easier for us to copy others when you go to create a new reel you might see this little template option if you don't see that yet don't worry it's either comingfor you soon or you just need to run an update but these are basically a bunch of different reels other people have created and you can use the same template and the same audio all you need to do is put in your own clips oh what you look at there automatically it'll sync all the pictures you chose as well as the audio in the template to create a really quick reel you can also find templates by scrolling through reels and if you see this icon just tap on it but here's another little nifty tip if you follow this account reels tutorials you'll find this account that gives you perfectly timed templates for the most trending songs so now you can basically copy the most viral reels recreate them yourself which is so useful okay now i don't know if you guys have seen these cool transitions but if you haven't check this out when you go to your instagram page and create a new reel right near the record button you'll see this little star icon in here all you need to do is click on the search icon then type in transitions and instantly you'll see these three types of transitions that are actually made by instagram so once you've selected one you will actually see instructions on the screen of what to do and i'm not gonna lie these transitions are legit and just by using your head you can control the direction of each of these transitions you can then record and then merge different clips making your edits pretty seamless but also by tapping on the effect you can view the effects page which shows you all the different ways other people have used the exact same transitions but let's transition into something even better instagram have given people more reasons to comment on your reels because of this one banging feature and here it is if someone comments on your wheel and you click that reply button you will now see this blue camera icon on the left hand side and if you tap on it it takes that comment and creates a sticker on a new reel so then what you can do is go choose existing footage or record new footage and essentially what you are doing is responding to that comment with a brand new reel so if anyone ever asks you a question like i don't know is that a teeny tiny phone you can just respond with the real and jazz setup using text stickers and even music this feature is honestly so awesome because the more people see you responding to comments with reels the more they're going to want to comment on your existing reels and now if you go back to the comment section you will actually see that your reply has been linked to that comment and of course the reel is also on your main profile pretty unreal we all know you can change stories into highlights but did you know you can change highlights into reels it is so easy and all you need to do is head on over to the highlight you want to create a reel out of so i had this one about my lego obsession but if you click on that more icon right at the bottom you will see convert to real once you tap on that it'll then give you a bunch of music options to choose from so of course go ahead find the one you like and then it'll take you to the final real editor where you can add a bunch of other things but once you click share and go to your profile under the real section you'll see your highlight has now been converted into a real [Music] okay so most of you know you can call your friends through instagram right well now there's a brand new feature that you can use while chatting with them so let's just say you've got your phone and your friend has their phone of course well what you do is you go to the message section find your friend and then make a video or audio call they'll then get a notification that you're calling they can answer the call and join all that jazz but here is where you get the really cool feature on your phone you will see this media icon and if you tap on that you'll see a bunch of media as well as reels but as soon as you tap on one it'll instantly share that reel with your friend and now you can both have a shared experience and watch reels together on top of that the crazy thing is you can still navigate instagram while on that call with your friend while viewing reels it'll just stay in this little pop-up window on the top right hand side and when you're finished viewing the rest of instagram you can just click on the pop-up window to go back into the call finally you can add multiple people and anytime anyone scrolls it'll change on every single person's phone i i just love this one [Music] then as you guys know audio plays a massive role when trying to make your instagram reels pop so in the search section if you just type in the lyrics of a song and click on that audio tab songs with those lyrics or titles will actually appear and you can easily tap on it see what other people have done with that audio or click on that camera icon and use the audio yourself then another super nifty tip for saving your favorite songs is just swiping left on them and clicking that little save icon and then anytime in future when creating a reel you can just click on this saved button and quickly choose from any one of those favorite songs that you saved on top of all of that you can even import your own audio so if you click the music icon and tap imports once you select a video and click done it'll only take the audio from that and tell you how long you have to record with it instagram have included this brand new feature as well but it's pretty well hidden so in reals if you open up the gallery and click

on the search icon go and find whatever song it is that you want for your reel but then once you've selected the song what instagram does is automatically splices all your videos and pictures to the

click on cover and change the cover it is literally that simple and whether you want to choose a thumbnail from the video or add one from your camera roll you decide and when you're happy click the done button and you officially have an updated reel cover then this has been available for a while but in case you didn't know you can record hands-free by just adding a 3 second or 10 second
