Is it better to use still images or videos in my reels?
Videos are always better for reels. Movement catches attention and keeps people watching. Show yourself painting, turning around with your artwork, filming your studio, or capturing your process. Slideshows of still images belong in carousels, not reels. Reels perform best when there’s actual motion—whether that’s you, your hands working, or your art being revealed.
