How to Automate Instagram Reels Creation?

Creatomate is a video automation platform that simplifies the creation of Instagram Reels. Using just a single video template, you can design your Reel once, then insert different text, captions, photos, and video clips, to create many unique videos automatically.

1
Create an Instagram Reels template

To automate Instagram Reels, start by creating a template. This template serves as the foundation for all your automated videos. Within your template, you can set up placeholder elements that you want to be different from video to video.

While there are many ready-made templates available, you may prefer creating your own designs. You can do this using the online template editor. It provides lots of customization options, enabling you to create video designs that perfectly align with Instagram's style and meet your specific needs.
