How to schedule Instagram Reels, from the video to the cover

Connect your professional Instagram account, choose Video Post, add the vertical video and pick Reel for the account. Set the cover frame, write the caption, put the hashtags in the first comment if you prefer, and schedule it or add it to a queue. At that time Instagram fetches the video, SPREVA waits until Instagram has processed it, and the Reel is published.

Three things to settle before the video leaves your editor:

• Vertical, 9:16. 1080 by 1920 pixels fills the screen. SPREVA warns about another shape but does not stop it.
• From 3 seconds to 15 minutes, and up to 1 GB.
• The words and the music already in the video. Sounds from Instagram's library and its text tools cannot be added by apps.

1. 1

   Press New in the sidebar, choose Post, then Video Post, and pick your Instagram account.

2. 2

   In the account's row, choose Reel.

3. 3

   Add the video: from your computer, from the library, or a clip you made in Studio.

4. 4

   Set the Cover frame, in seconds into the video: the frame people see on your profile before they tap.

5. 5

   Write the caption, up to 2,200 characters, and add a First comment for the hashtags if you want them out of the caption.

6. 6

   Check the preview, then Schedule it, or Add to queue.

SPREVA hands Instagram the video, Instagram fetches and processes it, and SPREVA checks every few seconds until it is ready, then publishes it. Every Reel also appears in your feed. The first comment goes up right after; if only the comment fails, the Reel stays published and you are told.

Studio cuts vertical clips from a long recording: up to 10 at a time, from 3 seconds to 3 minutes each, with the captions burned in. A finished export has Create post, which opens the editor with the video already attached. Studio is on Pro and Business.

Pick your TikTok and YouTube accounts in the same post: TikTok takes it as a video, and YouTube shows a vertical video of three minutes or less as a Short. Give each its own text under Per account. How to schedule TikTok videos.

Each Reel's views, reach, likes, comments, shares and saves come back into SPREVA an hour after it goes out, then after six hours, a day, three days, a week and a month.

SPREVA does not add music from Instagram's library, collaborators, a location or tagged people yet, and it does not post trial Reels. A location and tagged people can be added by editing the Reel in Instagram once it is out.

Connect your professional account, add three vertical videos, set their covers and schedule them, or add them to a queue. Every plan starts with a 7-day trial.
