Special Effects
A video editor should come loaded with special effects, filters, graphics, and text options that are better than what Instagram has to offer. To make your Reel stand out, you need visual effects that haven’t been seen over and over by the Instagram audience.
2. Transitions
Stringing multiple videos together in a short span of time can look jarring to the viewer. Instagram does not offer transitions, so this is where a video editor can really make a difference.
3. Aspect Ratio / Orientation
A video editor can help you turn your horizontal videos into Instagram-friendly 9:16 vertical videos.
