Closing Remarks and Spunky Hot Take
Instagram – The New Age Realty TV?
Third-party Apps Taking The Lead
Looks like Instagram’s got some homework to do as its own in-app editor got a low grade from Professor Sue “Pinky” Benson. We sure didn’t see that coming! Instagram better whip out its programming toolkit and start brushing up, before third-party apps like InShot, Splice, and Videoleap entirely hijack their video-editing show.
Can we just take a moment to shine the spotlight on Sue though? Beyond breaking down the geeky stuff about snazzy video edits, she did mention something more essential – Story is king! So, the next time you want to share that sunny kitchen corner or squeaky clean bathroom on Instagram Reels, remember – It’s not a catwalk. Be real, not reel, folks.
Oh, and remember, the next Spielberg might just be entering the real estate business, so it’s time to step up your game. It’s survival of the ‘reelist,’ my friends!
