Seriously? Where do u producers work where the creatives hide from you? Is it digital agencies ? Maybe that’s why creatives are not used to me just walking over and chatting witn them/asking questions like I’m part of the creative team when I work at them? This behavior does not exist at most ad agencies I work for. Please let us know so we can avoid these shops.

@SR1 it takes a full team, friend. No one of us makes the work – or “pays the salary” (?) – by themselves. Strategists, producers, PMs, account folks, they all play a key role in getting great work made.

Our shop is known for humility. Find some. Your career will be better for it.

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, it’s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaround…
