To add a background to a reel on Instagram, you can use the Green Screen feature in the Reels maker. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and tap on the “+” button at the bottom center of the screen to create a new post.
2. Swipe right on the bottom menu to access the Reels feature.
3. On the left side of the screen, you’ll see options to add different media to your reel. Tap on “Camera Roll” at the top left to access your device’s photo and video library.
4. Browse through your camera roll and select the background media you’d like to use. It can be either a video or a photo.
5. Once you’ve selected the background media, you’ll be taken back to the Reels editor. Tap on the “Green Screen” button located on the top left corner of the screen.
6. The Green Screen feature allows you to replace the background of your reel with the selected media. You’ll see a preview of your reel with the background media applied.
7. You can adjust the size and position of the background media by using pinch-to-zoom and drag gestures on the screen. This helps you align the background with your desired composition.
8. If you’re satisfied with the background placement, you can proceed to record or upload additional clips to create your reel. You can add stickers, text, music, and other effects to enhance your video.
9. Once you’ve finished editing your reel, tap on the right arrow button at the bottom right corner of the screen to move to the final editing screen.
10. On the final editing screen, you can add a caption, hashtags, and choose where to share your reel (e.g., your feed, Explore page, or Close Friends).
11. When you’re ready to post your reel, tap on the “Share” button, and it will be published on your Instagram profile.
Adding a background to your reel using the Green Screen feature allows you to create unique and visually appealing content. You can experiment with different backgrounds to add depth, context, or a specific atmosphere to your videos. It’s a creative way to make your reels stand out and engage your audience.
