The length that usually works

The limits are long, but a Reel is judged in its first seconds. A 15-second cut gives room for a hook, one proof shot and the product name.

For Reels ads Meta asks you to keep the top 14% and bottom 35% of the frame free of text and logos, so captions sit in the middle band.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum Instagram video length?
For Reels it is 3 minutes. For ads, Meta's spec pages allow up to 15 minutes in Reels and up to 60 minutes in the feed.
Is there an Instagram video template?
Yes, in effect: the UGC studio's review, unboxing, problem-and-solution and faceless formats each give a ready 15-second shot order in 9:16 with spoken lines you can edit.
How much does a 15-second Instagram video cost to make?
It costs 278 credits (~$3.47). Videos from an account that has never paid carry a small Reviral logo; buying any credit pack removes it.
