Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best AI music video tool for Instagram Reels?
Solmi — it auto-detects lyrics, renders 9:16 in the 1080×1920 spec Reels expects, and stays under the 90-second sweet spot Reels' algorithm rewards. CapCut and Reels' native editor are common manual tools if you want hand control.
What length should a Reels music video be in 2026?
Reels supports up to 90 seconds. Best-performing music Reels in 2026 land between 15–45 seconds — short enough for replays, long enough for a verse + chorus pattern.
Can I monetize Instagram Reels music videos?
Through the Reels Bonus Program (invite-only) or Brand Partnership Ads. For both, your audio must be licensed — your own original track or generated on a Pro plan that grants commercial use. Stock 'Trending Audio' on Reels cannot be monetized.
Can I use a Suno song on Instagram Reels?
Yes on Suno's paid plans, which grant commercial use. Paste your Suno share link into Solmi, render in 9:16, upload to Reels. Instagram's audio detection won't flag your own AI-generated music.
What aspect ratio do Reels use?
9:16 vertical, 1080×1920 pixels. Solmi exports natively in this format; uploading 16:9 will get cropped or letterboxed and lose discoverability.
