2. 2

   Choose a reference reel

   • Found it on Instagram? Paste the reel link on the New page to preview it, then save it from the Instagram app (Share or ••• → Download, or screen-record if Download is off) and upload the file. We don't download from Instagram.
   • Length 3–30 s (free video: up to 10 s). Trim it on your phone first.
   • One main person, face visible most of the time, not too far from the camera.
   • Avoid fast cuts, heavy filters, text covering the face and very dark clips.
   • Formats: MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 100 MB.
3. 3

   Choose your character photo

   • One character, front-facing, eyes and mouth clearly visible.
   • Face and upper body (for body motion), plain background, sharp and well lit.
   • A rough pose like the start of the reel gives the best match.
   • PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
4. 4

   Check the analysis and settings

   • We show what we found: length, size, scenes, expressions, gestures, camera moves and dialogue.
   • Shape: 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 1:1 square, or 16:9 landscape.
   • Motion: Low = face only · Balanced = face and body · High = face and body with stronger expressions.
   • Options shown greyed out (voice, captions, music) aren't available yet.
