Specifically, this new challenge consists of a small introductory part that is usually a video of just a few seconds that gives way to a succession of photographs that change very quickly. To be exact, this is a total of 27 photos or videos that last just half a second between one and another.

How to make the reel of 27 photos
Since we always tell you here Instagram tricks and secrets (such as solving the big question of if they find out when a screenshot is taken), we couldn't stop signing up for this challenge and telling you how the reel of the 27 photos is made. Although it may seem like a complicated video to make, the truth is that it has a bit of trick.
The first thing you should do is select the music. For this, as it is one of the most popular songs of the reels, it will not be too complicated:
- You can choose surf a bit through the "Reels" section on Instagram and you'll end up coming across a video that uses it. Then click on the name of the song and you will have access to the “Use audio” button.
- If you want to get straight to the point, you can look for it. This is as simple as clicking on the magnifying glass section of the search engine and typing the name "Harmless Swing Lynn". Select the first option of the songs section and that's it. Now click on the button at the bottom to use it.
A very important detail here, which will directly affect the following steps, is that not all versions of the song are exactly the same. By this we mean that there are users who start the selection of the song at an instant of the same, and others who use it a couple of seconds before or later.
To start create this reel of the 27 photos, touch to make the selection:
- Choose the introductory video first, the one that will last a little longer than the rest and that will give the reel a bit of context. You can create it, save it directly from the reel editor screen, or go to your gallery to select it.
- Then you have to fit the end of the video with the music. If you look closely, the beginning of the succession of photos leads to the first hit of the song. So, through the editor using the slider, you have to make this first video end at exactly that instant.
- By squaring up the original shot correctly, the next step is much easier but quite tedious. We will have to upload a total of 27 photos to this reel taken from our gallery. And, the key so that the succession between one and the other fits with the rhythm of the song is its duration. Specifically, the exact time that each photo should last is 0.40 seconds. Not one thousandth more, not one less.
- At the end you will only have to check the preview and, after that, fill in the description of this video to publish it.
If you do these steps as we have explained, you will have your perfect 27-photo reel ready. Besides, you don't need to download any app from third parties to your phone to edit the video or even go through an editing program on your computer. It will only be you, your photos and the Instagram app itself.
