How to Edit Instagram Reels Online
Reels are 9:16. Keep captions clear of the caption and action overlays, and grade for a consistent look.
Instagram Reels use a 9:16 vertical frame. Set that aspect ratio in Editsfield AI, export at 1080p, and download the MP4 for upload.
Caption placement
Instagram overlays the post caption and action buttons over the lower portion of the frame. Lower-third placement inside Editsfield AI sits above that area; centre placement is a safe alternative for text-heavy Reels.
A consistent look
A single colour grade across a Reel series makes a feed look intentional. Cinematic and warm are good starting points, and the manual controls let you set brightness, contrast, saturation, vignette and film grain yourself.
Stills work too
Photos get automatic Ken Burns motion, so a Reel built from stills and a voiceover still feels like video.
