One clip, the shape each place needs

Export the same clip as a full-screen Reel or as a portrait or square post for the feed. Each export keeps the clip's captions and edits.

Make Reels from a long video

Posting a clip as a Reel and as a feed post? Export it twice, once at 9:16 and once at 4:5.

  1. Upload your video

    MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM. Talking videos work best: podcasts, interviews, lessons and talks.

  2. Choose your clips

    The AI suggests self-contained 30 to 60 second moments and explains each pick.

  3. Export for Instagram

    9:16 for Reels and Stories, 4:5 or 1:1 for the feed. Then post the MP4 from the Instagram app.

Which format for which Instagram post

  • 9:16 fills the screen in Reels and Stories
  • 4:5 is a portrait post that takes up more of the feed than a square
  • 1:1 is the classic square feed post

When you crop a wide video to any of these, smart reframe follows the speaker's face. To keep the whole frame instead, choose Blur, which places it over a blurred copy of itself, or Fit, which adds black bars.

Captions that match your brand

Start from one of four caption styles, then change the font, text colour, highlight colour and size. The settings apply to every clip you export, so a series looks consistent on your profile.

Make the first second count

Reels autoplay in the feed, so the opening line matters. VisionSnip's picks start on a hook rather than in the middle of a sentence; move the start point in the editor if you want to open even closer to the action.

Questions

Does VisionSnip post to Instagram?

No. Download each clip and post it from the Instagram app, where you add your caption, cover and music.

What size should a Reel be?

9:16 vertical. VisionSnip exports Reels in that shape, cropped with smart reframe or fitted with a blurred background or bars.

Can I make a carousel?

VisionSnip exports one video per clip. Instagram lets you add several videos to a carousel post yourself.

Can I use the same clip as a Reel and a feed post?

Yes. Export it once at 9:16 and again at 4:5 or 1:1. Each export counts towards your plan's monthly exports.

Will Free clips have a watermark?

Yes, a small VisionSnip watermark. Paid plans export without it.
