Importing your video and balancing the audio
Once your 6-second or 13-second clip finishes soundtrack processing in the video creation workflow, save the MP4 from My videos to your phone and import it into Instagram Reels. Because completed downloads already include the meme soundtrack, importing the MP4 gives you an editable draft with built-in audio rather than automatic music clearance. If your downloaded file plays silently on your device, check our guide on fixing missing video sound before uploading.
If you choose to use Instagram's audio tools when available, select the available recording for Riff Raff - TiP TOE WiNG iN MY JAWWDiNZ. When adding a catalog track over a video that already has music, lower or mute the original clip volume in the Reels audio controls so the two tracks do not echo.
Previewing framing, cuts, and captions
Before sharing, play the entire Reel draft from start to finish:
- Subjects and motion: Inspect the faces, both roles if you replaced the dancer and spectator, the scene cuts, and the ending.
- Aspect ratio: Check that the vertical preview does not crop either character out; see our tips on formatting a vertical Rumpelstiltskin video to keep everyone visible.
- Caption placement: Place on-screen text near the upper-middle area so Instagram's bottom details and side buttons do not cover the tiptoe steps.
- AI disclosure: Because the clip places a real person's photo into a synthetic dance, review when to label your Rumpelstiltskin AI video before posting.
Account music limits and licensing rules
Not every account can select the song in Instagram's catalog. Under Instagram's music library guidelines, licensed tracks are intended for personal, non-commercial use, and access can vary by region, post format, and account category. Some business accounts and post types face catalog restrictions and may need to use Meta's Sound Collection for eligible uses instead.
Finally, purchasing generation credits only covers video creation. Under our terms of service, your download does not grant a separate commercial music license or worldwide platform clearance.
