instagram reels it's something that you either really really love or something that you hate hi
guys and welcome back to my channel and in today's video i'm going to share how i edit my instagram
reels like this and i'm showing you how i edit my instagram reels in in short while still using
the popular songs so if you want to learn how to edit better instagram reals then let's get started
so i don't know about you but i personally find editing my videos in ig reels to be very very
tedious and just not you user friendly at all you can't skip frame for frame you can't go back and
edit or take out a frame or whatever like you would in a editing app so basically instagram
only gives you these certain amount of tools and you either have to stick with your short
or you have to re-record it which can get a little bit tedious and that is why i actually
love using the in short app to edit my videos so before i show you that i want to share my golden
nugget on how i use the popular songs on instagram while i edit in in shot and the secret is drumroll
screen recording so i basically pre-record or screen record the video that i want to use on my
instagram reel and just import it into my in shot app it's really that easy also stick to the end of
this video where i will share how you can still get on the popular song list when you do upload
your video on instagram reels so without further ado let me show you how i edited this video using
the song from instagram reel so the first thing that you want to do is open your instagram and
go to the reels tab so and they will see tons and tons of reels if you found the sound that you like
you can click on the sound down below and you can say save audio so there's my audio saved and
there's also a bunch of other creators that use the same song and that's what i mean when you go
on to the popular song list that i will show you at the end of this video okay so if you go back
and you go to search you can actually search audio so you can go and search
the song that you want to use in your instagram meals okay and the
song that i'm going to use is actually a copyright song so i won't be playing it on
you know this video but you guys can see i already kind of saved it to my audio so is the avicii
feeling good so basically what i'm doing i'm just going to screen record that song
and when i'm done i'll just kind of end the screen recording and it will save to my library so so the
next thing you want to do is open up your in-short app if you don't have that already go and download
it i'll leave a link in the description down below and then you open up with the app and you say new
and then what you're gonna do is you are going to search for your footage that you filmed so
i actually filmed this video on my phone if you want to see how i did that i will leave the card
up here or in the description down below if you want to go and check that out so i'm just going
to import all of the footage it's just the raw footage so what i'm going to do is i'm going to
quickly edit it to my liking so if you want to know more about how i edit and specifically how
i go into detail about my editing then please have a look at this video up above and i'm also doing a
one-on-one a master clause where i share all of my tips and secrets with you guys via zoom so it's a
one-on-one i will leave my instagram and as well as my email down below and you can just pop me an
email or a dm telling me hey i want to learn how to edit and i can send you further information
for that so let me actually show you how i edit this video i wanted the coffee grounds to fall so
i'm just going to edit that before the coffee grounds full so right there and you can just
actually click on the footage the clip and you can drag the little arrow and i'm just just going to
keep the frame where i pause by the cup and then the next shot i've also paused by the cup
so i'm going to cut basically on action so it's going to look like this
there we go so that that looks quite seamless that's quite a seamless transition and i move
forward to the different flavors and i move my camera back and with the camera kind of
moves back i want to add a transition so i'm just going to cut that so in short comes with a bunch
of transitions you can also purchase transition packs or filter packs if you want to know more
about how to use in shorts i will leave a video down below that you can go and check out it's very
very beginner friendly i just feel like this video will be too long for me to kind of incorporate
that as well okay i'm gonna use the kind of yes the pull out transition so and then i pick up
the carp and i shake it once and then twice and i'm gonna cut this and then i'm gonna cut
the moment i pour in the little espresso but i want to have a kind of
better kind of transition from where i shake the cup until we are poor so i'm going to add the
dissolve so it's pouring in as the camera is moving towards the coffee being poured into the
cup i'm going to do the zoom in and then i'm going to add the kind of wipe and i pan pause okay so it
kind of looks like this after i've done editing all of that and added all of my transitions
you can go and add your music so what i like to do is basically you screen recorded the song so i
go to music i say tracks and then extract audio from video so if you have a voiceover that you
recorded or something like that and you want to add it over onto your footage you can do that
so i'm going to say extract audio and there is my song i'm just going to add it over to my footage
and that's kind of how the video looks without the sound obviously otherwise i'm gonna get a
copyright strike upright there's a little arrow and you're gonna say you can either choose the
resolution so you can choose 1080p 4k whatever as well as the frames per second i usually go
for 60 frames per second 720p because instagram is already going to kind of decompress your quality
and then it just says okay it's a 30.7 meg and then you can just click save and it's going to
save your video so now that you've done that and you've exported your video you can go into
instagram reopen your instagram app go to the audio that you saved then you're going to say
use audio and then what you can do is you can go and look for your video upload your
video so that you will see your video plays and you can just kind of have a look through
and then in the top right corner you can say add and then when you say preview you can go
to the top you will see there is a downloading arrow a kind of music note a sticker note uh
text like a squiggly like paint note and a text note so what i usually do is i go to the sound
and then you will see it's camera audio so that is the audio that the that you that you have exported
your video with and then obviously the sound that you've used and you can kind of switch between
those if you wanted to so let's say you did a voiceover and you want to add like a popular
song you can do that instagram just added the add voiceover so when you click on that you can do a
voiceover and you know do the talking through and then you can just click on your video again you
can add your text um let's say this is how i drink my coffee if you are done you can go next you can
add your caption if you wanted to so this is a la coffee and then you can choose a cover image
or you can add it from your camera roll so what i did was i took a picture of a coffee cup
and then you can add it and then you can also crop your image so if you want to
kind of select a certain part of the image that you imported you can do that and then you can
just say done and then you can tag the people so ala coffee tag them done and then you can
either share it to your instagram feed and to ig reels obviously or you can just save it as a draft
to post later and that is it you guys that is how i edit my instagrams in in short as well as how
