Instagram Reels Tutorial 2026: How I Actually Edit My Posts - 897

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through his complete editing process for Instagram Reels, including the tools he uses and how he decides which tool is right for each type of project.  Brock also covers why most editing bottlenecks actually start at the filming stage, and share the specific filming habits he has built that make editing significantly faster — including how he scripts, pace his takes, and use visual markers to stay organized in the timeline.  From there, Brock breaks down my full editing stack: CapCut for desktop edits, Gling for long-form clip editing, the Edits app for trend-based and audio-specific Reels, and when he hands things off to a professional editor.  Brock also shares a handful of practical tips for speeding up your editing workflow, including editing on desktop, working with audio on, using keyboard shortcuts, and tackling one task at a time rather than trying to do everything at once.
