Will the Reel use screenshots from my actual course page?

Yes. The browser captures the public page you provide, so the Reel can show your real curriculum headings, project examples, instructor section and published student results. Content behind a student login or checkout cannot be treated as publicly available page material, so place essential proof on the accessible sales page.

How should I prepare my curriculum for capture?

Use descriptive module and lesson names that state what the learner makes, practises or understands. Keep key modules visible without requiring a login, and make expandable curriculum sections work with standard browser interactions. Clear headings such as “Write a five-email launch sequence” produce stronger scenes than labels such as “Advanced strategies.”

Can I ask for a Reel focused only on student results?

The first video is cut from the course site alone, based on the strongest material available there. Later videos accept a prompt, so you can request an edit centred on student projects or outcomes. Those results still need to appear on the supplied page if you want the video to show them as source material.

What format will I receive for Instagram Reels?

The vertical video is rendered at 1080x1920 and 30fps in H.264, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. If you plan to use a trending sound, attach it natively in Instagram using the provided sound link instead of relying on the same sound baked into the exported video.

Make Reels ads from your course page

sizzledraft turns an online course URL into a vertical Instagram Reels ad using real screenshots of the curriculum, learning outcomes and student results on the page. It renders the video at 1080x1920 and 30fps, with H.264 video and audio normalised to -14 LUFS.

How do I turn my course page into an Instagram Reels ad?

Provide the public URL for your course sales page. sizzledraft drives a headless browser through the page, captures real screenshots, reads the site’s brand tokens and builds vertical scenes around the strongest course-specific material. For a course, that usually means the promised skill, the curriculum sequence, a practical assignment and student results shown on the page. The first video is cut from the site alone, so the page should clearly state what students learn and display the evidence you want featured. Later videos accept a prompt, which lets you request a different angle, such as the capstone project, a particular module or results from a defined type of student. The finished Reel is 1080x1920, 30fps and H.264.

What should an Instagram Reels ad show for an online course?

Show the path from the learner’s current problem to a specific piece of work or capability they can complete. Open with an outcome, then use short curriculum moments to explain how the course reaches it. A module title such as “Build your first client proposal” communicates more than a generic label such as “Module three.” Follow that with a real student result from the page, keeping enough context to show what changed and avoiding claims the source does not support. End with a clear action, such as viewing the syllabus or seeing the full set of projects. On a vertical screen, one lesson, result or project should carry each scene. Dense curriculum grids and long testimonial paragraphs need selective framing to stay readable.

Can I use a trending sound in a Reel for my course?

Yes, but the sound should be attached inside Instagram when you publish the Reel. sizzledraft can hand over a link to the trending sound so you can select it natively rather than baking it into the H.264 file. This matters because uploading a video that merely contains the same audio does not count as using that sound on the platform. The rendered ad can still include scored, synthesised audio, normalised to -14 LUFS, for review or use without a trend. For a course ad, check that the sound leaves room for curriculum labels, project examples and student-result captions to register. A busy track should not force viewers to choose between following the audio and understanding what the course teaches.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture visible course headings, module lists, lesson previews, instructor details, project examples and student results from the supplied page. It may struggle with curriculum accordions that require unusual interactions, results hidden behind login screens, embedded course players, or testimonials loaded only after consent or third-party scripts.

The common mistake

A common mistake is spending the whole Reel describing the course topic while hiding the curriculum and proof. Fix it by opening with a specific learner outcome, showing the lesson or project that produces it, and then presenting a relevant student result with its original context.
