Prompt

Make this a fast vertical Reel with a clear opening title and readable captions.

Result

A vertical, caption-ready Reel you can review before posting.

The pain

A Reel loses attention before the first swipe is finished.

01
Landscape footage leaves the subject outside the vertical frame.
02
Slow openings give viewers time to scroll away.
03
Text and captions compete with Instagram interface elements.

Questions

Before you edit

Can I edit Instagram Reels for free?

Yes. Use the free browser timeline to trim and arrange vertical video, add text, auto captions and audio, and export up to 1080p.

What size should an Instagram Reel be?

A 9:16 vertical project is the standard full-screen format for Reels. Pluged AI supports a 1080 by 1920 vertical canvas.

Will the Reel have a Pluged AI watermark?

No. Pluged AI does not add its watermark to exported videos.

A Reel should feel designed for the feed before it reaches the feed.
