I have been able to do this for months but yesterday on my business account I can still post it but in the edit section I no longer have access to the edit features. I have an edit button but when I click on it I no longer have the features to edit it other then shortening it. Have you heard of any others with this problem?
Cheers to Anita for cracking the code on long Reels! Been using a combo of her tips and boost app social for that extra oomph in my posts. The app's AI-driven ideas are a game changer for anyone looking to get creative.
Oustanding. Thank you! The key seems to be to pause during the 'edit cover' step while it processes the video. May take a minute or two, but this worked when nothing else would.
THANKYOU! I wasted ages before I found your video, while trying to find the answer to whether this was possible, and every Google link, CZcams, Instagram help guide, and video led me astray and only wanted to talk about Reels. I was beginning to lose hope that it was even possible😅Brilliant stuff- subscribed!👏🏻
@@AnitaWong I've a question for you, will you famiilar with Meta Busines Suite, I've just switched to pro mode in my IG and now it's asking for admin permission and I am all confused with that, will you be able to help?
Creator or professional? If you’re admin it maybe asking for info to link your FB if you h r it 🤷♀️ when do you see the pro mode Q’s when posting or just scrolling?
@@AnitaWong It's long story Anita, it all started when my FB got hacked and when I recovered my FB, my business account was restricted. I am trying to get my account unrestricted but it affected my IG professional account too. So I am just going to switch everything back to personal mode for now until Meta resolve the issue. Thank for the help Anita. You're awesome.🤗
Thank you so much! I didn't understand how to fix it and you just really saved me. I posted a video on CZcams - but it doesn't show up on my channel page. Do you have a hack for that?
@@theAstrologyFangirl hi. Yes for sure. Watch this video czcams.com/video/7Nnwn7xCtCU/video.htmlsi=yNXxNg6agMBCxW4M and if you’re still stuck I have a membership you might be interested in anitawong.co.uk/socialvideoclub/
Thanks Anita. What about multiple videos or videos with photos in the post too? I think some people have had their videos cut down to 1:00 or 1:30 in length if they change the aspect size of the video as well 🤔
The video won’t be cut down as long as you upload as a post and not a reel. It will automatically be shown in the reel feed but it won’t be an official reel as such
Great if it's from your phone. How do you post off your camera though? I'm having to spend hours scrolling through videos, trying to work it out. This is what I don't like about Instagram it's such a pfaff if you use a vlogging camera & not a phone.
You can upload on the desktop however you could add your video to Dropbox, download to camera roll and upload from there. Once uploaded. Delete from your phone
This video was EXTREMELY helpful! I had one question that would be great if you could help me with. I am uploading a 2 minute video. When I upload it as a reel it is of a significantly higher quality but limited to 90 seconds. When I upload it as a post I am able to put up the 2 minute video but there is a significant drop in quality and the video is also appearing a little darker. What could be the reason for that? Thank you!
It maybe the server that its uploaded to. Instagram has just launched a 3 minute Reels option as well, so be sure to update your app to see if you have that option
Very helpful. But my question is whether this method can work when you include a video and 2 photos, for example? When I do this my video gets cut. But if I just post the video, like you do, the video is not cut.
hi anita! thank you again for this helpful video! now that i am able to add my 3 min video to my post- IG wont allow me to add a song since my video is "longer than 90 seconds"-- is there a way around this?
Interesting Is there a way to add trending Audio to your carousels individual frames?? I've never tried, but If not, Id say that's why it's not possible here. This hack is based on IG simply wanting all single videos to post as short REELS but it fails to trim length when converting your carousel feed post- a great loophole! Like OP said attach your Audio prior to upload & it will work. I'm excited to try this & see if i can have it on both grids….
Hi Anita, thanks for sharing this useful tip - I can’t see the “Profile Display” option when I’m in the final page before posting. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I am just learning Instagram. Mine does not have the option to reel and main. It has Tag people, Tag products, add message button and so on....thoughts?
Hi Karen, the reel option is at the beginning when you go to upload your video. You can go to your profile page and then there should be a + sign at the top right hand side, click that and you will see the option to add a Reel. Also, make sure you have updated your app in the App or playstore depending on the phone you have. Hope this helps. Anita
Unfortunately this is not working anymore... At least for me. I try to do as you say, but from the Post option is now only letting me trim it. The rest of edit options do not appear anymore. Could it be because my fb/IG accounts are not synchronised? Thanks!
Sorry it should work however Instagram has just added an increase of up to 3 minutes to the upload within reels. It should still work as a post for longer.
Something changed in the past day. This used to be the correct method but now no matter what it is chopping posts to one minute, reels still 90 sec. I wonder if its a shadowban type feature for accts that allegedly violate their TOS?
Don’t think it’s a shadow ban. You can’t violate instagrams T&Cs when longer videos are allowed. Maybe IG is having an update and rolling something out 🤷♀️

Does doing this, allow your video to actually hit the explore page?
Thank you so much!! Will it still push out like a reel? I know instagram loves to push reels now and not post
I believe so. See this article business.instagram.com/blog/instagram-video-now-instagram-reels?locale=en_GB
Very helpful. But my question is whether this method can work when you include a video and 2 photos, for example? When I do this my video gets cut. But if I just post the video, like you do, the video is not cut.
Unfortunately this method doesn’t work when mixed with posts like in a carousel post
Too bad. But thanks for getting back to me. At least now I know that's it's not something I'm not doing. Good video, nevertheless.

hi anita! thank you again for this helpful video! now that i am able to add my 3 min video to my post- IG wont allow me to add a song since my video is "longer than 90 seconds"-- is there a way around this?

Thanks. But when I try it as a POST, it crops my reel differently than how I designed it as a vertical reel? I guess there's no way around it...?
ok, it will try to crop but you just have to drag the end of the crop screen over more.
Thanks🎉

me too.. doesn't have the choice to put only on reels or both feed and reels
Thank you ❤ God bless you 🙏

Nicely done. Thank you!! One question... What is the maximum length possible for Post Videos?
According to Instagrams blog in 2022 (I know) it said 15 minutes
@@AnitaWong Ait :) thanks a lot!!!!
Thank you! But... What is the difference between Reel and Post if both features handle video and both videos are shown in a reel feed?
It’s the length of video. In reels only upto 3 minutes is accepted where as with a post, longer videos are
Thank you!! Worked 6.18.24
Great! Glad it worked for you
Unfortunately this is not working anymore... At least for me. I try to do as you say, but from the Post option is now only letting me trim it. The rest of edit options do not appear anymore. Could it be because my fb/IG accounts are not synchronised? Thanks!

Mine doesnt give me an edit option only a trim option?Anyway to fix this?
Hmm I think when it’s a longer video, you can edit it as you’re adding the video as a ‘post’
Something changed in the past day. This used to be the correct method but now no matter what it is chopping posts to one minute, reels still 90 sec. I wonder if its a shadowban type feature for accts that allegedly violate their TOS?
Don’t think it’s a shadow ban. You can’t violate instagrams T&Cs when longer videos are allowed. Maybe IG is having an update and rolling something out 🤷♀️
UGH! This is sooooo frustrating. Had a new long video to post today and it won't let me as this method no longer works. 😒👎.
