What are the simplest types of reels I can create if I'm new or find editing overwhelming?

Always go for the simplest formats. A time-lapse with some text on screen requires just two steps: record in time-lapse mode and add text. An image reveal—recording yourself turning around paintings—needs minimal editing: just add a song and put your caption in the post description. Many successful reel formats are incredibly simple and don’t require complex editing. Start with those to build confidence before tackling more advanced techniques.
