If you are active on Instagram or TikTok, you’ve probably seen those high-energy, high-impact Boys Ego Reels (also known as Attitude Status videos). These reels usually feature sharp transitions, aggressive shake effects, and bold typography that instantly grab attention.
The secret behind these professional-looking edits isn’t hours of manual work—it’s the use of Alight Motion XML files. In this blog, we’ll dive into how you can create your own trending Ego Reels using the latest XML presets and why this trend is taking over social media in 2026.
What is a Boys Ego Reel?
A “Boys Ego” or “Attitude” reel is a short video style that showcases confidence and personality. These videos typically use:
- Hard-hitting Beats: Slowed + Reverb or aggressive phonk music.
- Shake Effects: Sudden movements that sync with the bass.
- HDR CC (Color Correction): Sharp, dark, or vibrant colors that make the video “pop.”
- Smooth Transitions: Seamless shifts between photos or video clips.
Why Use Alight Motion XML Files?
Editing from scratch in Alight Motion can be difficult for beginners. An XML file is essentially a pre-made project template. When you import an XML file, all the complicated keyframes, effects, and layers are already set up for you. All you have to do is replace the placeholder media with your own photos or videos.
How to Import and Use Alight Motion XML Files
If you have downloaded an XML file for a trending ego reel, follow these steps to use it:
- Download the File: Save the
.xmlfile to your phone’s internal storage. - Open Alight Motion: Ensure you are using a version that supports XML importing (v3.6.1 or higher is recommended).
- Importing the Project: * Go to the Templates tab at the bottom.
- Click on Upload XML File at the top.
- Select the file from your downloads folder.
- Replace Media: Once the project opens, find the layers marked as “Your Photo” or “Media.” Tap on them, go to Color & Fill, and click the media icon to select your own picture.
- Export: Once you’ve replaced the photos, hit the export button, and your high-quality Ego Reel is ready!
