So happy you enjoyed it!!
wow, thank you so much
thanks for watching!
I love to listen to you :)
Hi. I really love your videos! Thank you so much!💖
I do have a question though. I’ve been trying to change a reel cover photo and I’ve been following the sizes and making sure the text/photos are all in the middle inside the square. However, it doesn’t work on my reel. It cuts the image & texts even though I’ve adjusted them already.
Are you editing the reel inside the IG app? And it looks normal until after it is posted? That could be a glitch! Reinstalling might help.
I like to know more about doing a voice over on reels. BTW I love your videos its very educational 🥰🥰
Oooo good idea, writing it down now!!! YAY so glad you love them! ❤️
I agree!! Would love to see that!
Hello Stephanie. I'm a new follower/fan. I would like to know what is "best practice" for IG reel cover photos - not how to make them, but what is best for funneling in your target audience? Should it match the overall reel caption? Should it be more about visual consistency with the feed? I know in my own "clicking" behavior, I tend to click on stuff with high views, and a cover photo that looks interesting. (even if the cover photo seems to have nothing to do with the video)!
I think you’re on the right track! Honestly a lot of it comes down to personal preference versus strategy. I prefer to use them to keep a more branded look on my feed. Think about this too: 99% of people who watch your reel will never see the cover photo!
I feel like every second of this video was informative haha thanks! Is it possible to keep the video's audio in half of a reel and a song in the other half?
i have the same q!!
Not without editing in an external app!
THANK GOD FOR THIS VIDEO!! I think some of you now can drag thru the reel and choose cover picture with the text used in the reel. But I can not do this in Norway :-(
Hopefully soon!!
Yes, but I miss the Caption in the story the most. I do not have the option to get text in my stories... hope that will come to Norway too 🤞😀
How do I set reels as my open up page on Instagram
Not sure yet!!
Hi Stephanie, I have two questions. Do you know if It’s possible to plan out reels within a content planner? Does IG reels show up on Facebook also?
Yes!! I use later for my reels planning, absolutely!! Yes - you can toggle on post this reel to Facebook, but you have to do it when posting!!
Hi great video question my cover photo is a split second and then it’s gone but every time you replay the real it’s there but it only is showing for a split second. Is there any fix for that?
Cover photos are not really a part of the reel and are not meant to be viewed in the video! They're just to organize your personal feed. If you want a photo to stay visible on your reel for several seconds, you'll have to include it as an upload to the actual reel.
Hi Stephanie - I am creating reels in Canva and pushing the content through vistasocial. The covers are not showing up as they should. I wonder what the 'correct timing' is for the reel cover to transition so that it shows up on instagram?
Hmm there shouldn't be a timing issue since the cover photo is not actually a part of the reel. I would suggest scheduling your content in an app, but posting it manually to avoid glitches like this!
I’m having trouble matching my cover pic on the profile grid to the one that I want to show up on the reels tab. I keep running into the problem of the reel showing the video in motion/ preview instead of the cover picture I’ve selected. Can you help me fix this?
This is something that seems to be almost a glitch or new feature Instagram is testing where it will show your reels covers like this! But it doesn’t show it like that for the majority of users!
Please please update this content to include tips on if you fail to crop the cover photo for grid after making a small editing change......the reel cover pic will look great (but not the grid). Even though I can go in and change the reel cover after posting, it doesn't seem the grid post will ever be aligned (if not done correctly when posting). HELP Stephanie!
Hey, Hi.
I have a doubt, 2 days ago I uploaded 2 different reels it was more than 30 sec and it was uploaded, but today, it restricted me to just 30 sec. I mean 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Yes! their update always changes🙄
Is there a way to change the duration of a cover photo of a Reel? It plays too fast.
The cover photo is not a part of the actual reel, but rather, something you upload separately! If you are using a frame from the reel as your cover photo, you would change the duration of the photo in the reels editing interface. This video might help: ruclips.net/video/xW2tQkGHPHA/видео.html
@@StephanieKase thank you so much.
So I get if you create the real with your cover photo in the beginning, you can make the duration last longer but what if you just completely added a cover photo afterwards and it’s not staying on long enough to see the photo it disappears within a split second is there any fix for that?
I don't understand. The photos in the feed are square. But my reel is horizontal, and the format of reels are vertical. So I have no idea how my square photo will appear in the feed and how the video will look like in the reel.
Ideally your videos should be in the 9:16 ratio for them to look right as a reel!
Is this video still relevant in the second half of 2022 or are there any updates?
Definitely still relevant! I go into more branding information here: ruclips.net/video/bdAiewMPQrY/видео.html
thank you for this great information thank you very mush you are cute
Hey, anyone had the experience of posting a cover photo and after a few days the picture has been deleted by IG? :(
Ikr same problem :(
It's a glitch happening to some people!
I just had the same problem… all cover photos disappeared… how can I have them back?
@@StephanieKase hello, thank you for the video. Do u know if there is any way to bring back my cover photos from reels if they just disappeared - one after 1 week of being and 2 others just in few hours… I’m confused 🤔 what can I do?
I uploaded a cover and it was upside down! Grrrrr!🙄 And as you said, you can't edit it!
SO frustrating!! Did you download the draft directly to your phone before posting?? If you did, you could quickly take down the post and try again!
