The Post-it Note Reel -

Here is the Reel we are going to recreate @jenn_mariephotography.

The Hand Swish Reel -

Here is the Reel we are going to recreate @bellafoxwell, which was originally inspired by @thesocialimpact.au

Note: You don't have to have a hand swish as your transition - you could have a click, clap, head bop, cover the camera with something, throw something, jump... anything! The thing to remember is to have the action take place in time to the beat (/one of the beats) of the track.

Below are the step-by-step instructions for filming 2 clips that feature a transition. This process is very similar for any type of Reel you're filming that features a transition: You film each clip all the way through w/ the transition and then film the next clip all the way through. This makes it much easier to edit together a seamless transition.

1. Open up the Saved Reel that has the audio I want to use > Click "Use Audio"

2. Set timer for 3 seconds

3. Click the Record button (Reels icon in bottom centre of screen)

4. Film entire Reel (including transition - in this case hand swish) in outfit #1

5. Once happy, Save that clip to my phone gallery​

Now it's time to film the same clip again, in another outfit.

1. Discard (/delete) that clip so I have space to film a fresh clip in outfit #2

2. Set timer for 3 seconds

3. Click the Record button (Reels icon in bottom centre of screen)

4. Film entire Reel (including transition - in this case hand swish) in outfit #2

5. Once happy, Save that clip to my phone gallery

Now I have 2 clips ready to edit together into 1 Reel with a seamless transition.

The Multi Clip Reel -

Here is the Reel we are going to recreate @somewhatperfect_.
