Three in one

This is one of the few times you can use your horizontal footage in a Reel without zooming in or cutting anything off! Though, this one will require a little more work.

You’ll want to start with a tool like Canva to create three pages with three different sections on each. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered there. Just make sure you have a free Canva account and download this template.

Once you’ve downloaded the template, add your preferred clips of your latest listing. You’ll need to download each slide separately to match up with the Reel’s template. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered on the timing of each slide, too, as it’s already set in the template.

Alright, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

What you’ll need: Nine short clips filmed horizontally. Switch up the way you film it to match this Reel, by slow panning left to right or right to left. Just keep it simple as it might look a little chaotic otherwise.

How to make it:

Step 1: Tap here to view the Reel on Instagram.

Step 2: Tap “use template” to get started.

Step 3: Select “add clips” and input your three videos.

Step 4: Tap “next”, then input your caption — keep it short and sweet with a clear CTA.

Step 5: Select “edit cover” to either add your own cover or select a moment in the video you’d like to use as the cover image.

Step 6: Scroll down and tag your location so the algorithm shows your content to people interacting with content in the same area.

Step 7: Hit “share”.
