Plain Text

What it's for

Plain bold type on your own cuts, and nothing else on the picture: the hook big on the first shot, a line on the shots that need one, the place pinned if you name it, the question at the end. Free, and the look iReelz gives every take unless you pick another in Style.

Reach for it when

• A Reel iReelz cut from your clips and your one line about it
• Travel footage that should stay the hero: a line or two, no chrome
• A talking clip where the words on screen only need to back up what is said
• A quick product or get-ready Reel with one or two grounded lines

How it plays

The hook is heavy and large, in your text colour; a line on a shot sits on a dark plate so it reads on anything, as a phone’s own text sticker does, with no number in front of it. Nothing is boxed or pinned unless you name a place. Everything stays inside Instagram’s safe zone, and the hook moves to the top, middle or lower third. Pick another story look in Style and the same words take its chrome.

Not the right pick when

A numbered room tour is Stay Tour; typewriter notes on a day are Day Notes; a review with chips is Spot Check.

The STORY family

STORY templates follow your edit instead of carrying their own timeline. Every other overlay plays at its own pace and you cut to it; a STORY template is laid on your cuts — the hook on the first shot, a label on each shot as it lands, the ending on the last — which is what lets iReelz Studio turn one long clip into a finished Reel.
