NEW 3 MINUTE REELS UPDATE NOW OUT ruclips.net/video/v3jjyAHrKDA/видео.htmlsi=SHBUILQY2IvRiYA9

[@gloomyspectreyt3468]

It works,: thanks for suggesting sharing reels under 3 mins .
😊

[@Secondact.design]

I have been able to do this for months but yesterday on my business account I can still post it but in the edit section I no longer have access to the edit features. I have an edit button but when I click on it I no longer have the features to edit it other then shortening it. Have you heard of any others with this problem?

[@The.Fit.Channel]

Oustanding. Thank you! The key seems to be to pause during the 'edit cover' step while it processes the video. May take a minute or two, but this worked when nothing else would.

[@pulsar3483]

Thanks Anita. What about multiple videos or videos with photos in the post too? I think some people have had their videos cut down to 1:00 or 1:30 in length if they change the aspect size of the video as well 🤔

[@AnitaWong]

The video won’t be cut down as long as you upload as a post and not a reel. It will automatically be shown in the reel feed but it won’t be an official reel as such

[@iastronaut4452]

Hi Anita, thanks for sharing this useful tip - I can’t see the “Profile Display” option when I’m in the final page before posting. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@AnitaWong]

Let me check but it should be in the other tab

[@MegMaker]

Thank you for this! However when I upload a 16:9 video like yours, Instagram converts the aspect ratio to 5:4. Help!? Why does it always do this for me!?
