New trend in Instagram: how to make Reels in 5120x1080 format

The 5120x1080 format is a hot trend on Instagram that helps you stand out and get more views. The earlier you start using it, the higher your chances of appearing in recommendations.

A new trend has emerged on Instagram: ultra-wide videos in 5120x1080 pixels. This content fills the entire screen, cannot be quickly scrolled past, and therefore captures users' attention and increases reach. If you want to use this format for promotion, follow the instructions.

What you need to create a 5120x1080 video

1. Editing software: Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut, CapCut, or DaVinci Resolve will work.
   
2. Correct project settings: set the resolution to 5120x1080 and the frame rate to 30 fps.
   
3. Footage for editing: dynamic videos, panoramas, and synchronized movements look best.

How to edit a 5120x1080 video

— create a project with the required resolution
— add video and stretch/crop it to fit the format
— use text and graphics centered so they are readable on any screen
— export the file as MP4.

How to upload to Instagram

Go to the Reels section and select your video.

Instagram will automatically adapt it for the feed but will keep the "wide screen" effect.

Add an attractive thumbnail and hashtags: #5120x1080 #ReelsTrend #Instagram2025.
