2. CREATE A TEMPLATE
Create a Reel using a ‘Template’ to make it easier for fans/followers to create using your song. You’ll just need to create a Reel with three or more segments and the format of that Reel can be copied over to fans’ cameras, allowing them to upload or film content using the same template as your Reel.
ANDROID / IPHONE

(Android) or
(iPhone) on the bottom right of the reel that you want to use as a template.
