Reel templates for Instagram and TikTok
Thirteen 9:16 reel templates. Each is a few full-screen clips with words that animate in and set lengths, most with transitions and a filter. Use one, pick a clip for each page in order, and Seamly fills the pages and keeps the timing. Change any length, word or look afterwards.

How to use a reel template

Open a reel template and tap Use.
Step 2: Choose your clips
Pick one video for each page, in order. Seamly fills the pages and trims each clip to the template's timing.

Rewrite the words, change a clip's Length, its Look or the Transition into the next clip.
Step 4: Save
Save makes one 9:16 video to post.
Questions
Are the reel templates free?
No. All 13 reel templates need Seamly Pro.
What if I have fewer clips than the template?
Pick the clips you have: they repeat to fill the template's pages.
Can I change how long a clip plays?
Yes. Tap a clip, then Length: from 0.3 to 10 seconds, for one clip or every clip.
Can I remove the transitions or the filter?
Yes. No transitions turns every cut into a straight cut, and Look changes or removes a clip's filter.
