Editing video for Instagram doesn't require opening a desktop editor. Most of the work is three things: taking the right part of a long recording, switching to 9:16 (Reels) · 4:5 (feed) framing and burning in captions. BeamTake does all three in one flow; the export downloads as 1080×1920 · 1080×1350 or goes straight to your account.

Instagram viewers watch fast in the feed, strangers in Explore and decide within the first 3 seconds. On screen, ~250 px at the top and ~320 px at the bottom are covered by the interface, so putting text there is wasted.

On Instagram, Reels reach people who don't know you through Explore, while the feed reaches your followers. The two audiences expect different things: an Explore viewer has no context, a follower does. That's why the same first sentence can work in one place and fall flat in the other.

No. Without connecting, download the export and upload it yourself. Connect it to schedule posts from the calendar.
Every plan exports at 1080 pixels on the short side. The Studio plan unlocks 4K (2160 on the short side); a lower-resolution source isn't artificially upscaled.
