Instagram Ads Editing Guide
Where should the product, price and call to action sit in a Reel ad so the message still works with sound off?
Concrete example
Example project: a 15-second skincare routine with three labelled steps and a final product close-up.
Reproducible edit
Cut each routine step to one clear action, add concise manual labels above the lower interface zone, link the music and picture where timing must stay fixed, then review the muted export.
Clear boundary
FreeCut 1.3 provides editing and export controls, not Instagram's ad placement preview, licensing clearance or campaign analytics.
