New editing tools

Another important announcement that the social network made is the integration of new creation and editing tools, which will make it easier for Reels users to create and share their videos.

Thus, the Reels editor is armed with three new options:

• Use public photos to make remixes custom: an option that opens up a range of editing possibilities.
• Customizing reels with more backgrounds: With this option, you can choose between green screen, split screen, both horizontally and vertically, or reaction view to add commentary to existing reels.
• Remix: When making a remix, instead of your clip playing with the original, it can be added at the end to play them sequentially.

Of course, this remix option might not be to everyone’s taste, so Instagram has added a new privacy option. So by default, if your account is public, all your videos will be able to be part of the remix, but there will be an option that will allow you to remove this option, and on the other hand you can also allow them to be shared on other other streams without explicit permission. You can disable these options on each video individually.

Beyond these new tools, Instagram wants to promote the creation of Reels, so the social network has also focused on updating templates, and this way you only have to choose the template you want. prefer and add your own photos and videos.

And finally, it is now possible to activate the front and rear camera to record simultaneouslyso you can record the content and your reaction at the same time.
