That’s a good creative question.
Quick Answer: No, you cannot remix two different Reels together directly within the Instagram app. The Remix feature is designed to be a one-to-one interaction, where you can only remix one existing Reel at a time.
This limitation means that to create the kind of video you are describing, you need to use a simple workaround with an external video editing app. Here is the standard process for achieving that effect.
First, you need to download both of the Reels you want to feature. You can do this using various third-party applications or websites that are designed to save Instagram videos.
Second, you need to import those downloaded clips into a video editing app on your phone or computer, such as CapCut or InShot.
Third, in the editor, you would create a split-screen or picture-in-picture layout. You can then place the two Reels you downloaded on the screen and add your own reaction footage alongside them.
And fourth, once you have finished editing this new, combined video, you would upload it as a brand new, original Reel to Instagram. It is a good and ethical practice to be sure to credit the creators of the original two Reels in your caption.
In summary, while Instagram’s native Remix tool is limited to one-on-one interactions, you can easily create the same effect by downloading the source videos and combining them in a third-party editing app.
