Why Short Reels Work
Short reels are easier to finish, easier to watch, and easier to repeat. For daily posting, a clear 10-second reel can often be more practical than a longer edited video that never gets published.
Format Questions
What export format should I use?
Use MP4/H.264/AAC when conversion is available. WebM is a fallback if MP4 conversion fails.
Why does MakeAReel limit reel length?
The product is built for fast short-form social posts. Length limits keep the workflow fast and easier to export.
