2 Ways to Edit Reels After Uploading on Facebook
In contrast to several sites that allow modification after upload, Facebook does not yet provide direct editing options for reels that have been uploaded.
Any edits, such as trimming or changing effects, cannot be made directly through the platform's editing tools once a reel has gone live.
- Repost and Delete
One technique is removing the current reel and then submitting an updated version. However, this may impact the original post's engagement numbers, shares, and comments.
- Use Editing Software
Users can download the original reel, edit it with video editing tools (such as Adobe Premiere Pro or iMovie), and then publish the updated version as a new post to apply changes without re-uploading.
Some applications from third parties assert to help with editing content that has been shared on Facebook. Yet, there may be differences in their effectiveness and dependability, so care should be taken when utilizing them.
