Most Instagram videos finish processing within a few minutes of import. If one is still processing well beyond that, it usually means the source Reel is unusually long or high-resolution, or the import failed partway and needs to be retried.
How long processing should take
Usually 1 minute; in some extreme cases, up to 5 minutes.
Retry the import
You can remove the stuck video and try again.
Known causes
Reels from private accounts aren't supported.
Sometimes Instagram sends us a server error, and the import won't work.
If Reel was already imported, we won't re-import it again.
If it's still stuck
Send us the Instagram post URL and we'll look at that specific video.
