Instagram offers a range of formats and features \u2013 from <a href=\"https:\/\/planable.io\/blog\/instagram-grid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram grid<\/a> vids to IGTV and reels \u2013 which allow users to express themselves in unique ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Instagram Video Size Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like all social media platforms, Instagram has some basic requirements for its videos. The reason for this is simple \u2013 Instagram wants to ensure that the videos uploaded to its platform look as professional as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also the fact that Instagram doesn\u2019t want to overwhelm its infrastructure by accounting for thousands of video formats and lengths, but we think it\u2019s safe to say that these requirements are also there to encourage platform-wide consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That being said, Instagram video size doesn\u2019t involve just length. There is a ton of other stuff to consider, such as aspect format and file dimensions \u2014 all of which we will cover. But first, let\u2019s go over how to optimize your Instagram videos for maximum success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create Engaging Instagram Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/young-woman-with-smartphone-making-video-for-socia-CRJHXXV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2240\" height=\"1400\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-4.13.09-pm.png\" alt=\"Young woman with smartphone making video for social media outdoors on street. by halfpoint\" class=\"wp-image-82042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-4.13.09-pm.png 2240w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-4.13.09-pm-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-4.13.09-pm-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-20-at-4.13.09-pm-2048x1280.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2240px) 100vw, 2240px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Define Your Objective<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting realistic goals, defining your objective and determining the purpose of your video will help you be more efficient and ensure your underlying message or mission translates to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Ensure Brand Consistency<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/brand-awareness-email-marketing\">Brand consistency<\/a> across all videos will indirectly increase discoverability, and make your videos instantly recognizable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Tailor Your Videos Specifically for Instagram<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While content repurposing is a viable strategy that many marketers swear by, it often doesn\u2019t work very well for Instagram. Apart from the obvious length and dimension limits between YouTube and Instagram, there are other platform-specific issues to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, there\u2019s a reason why Instagram videos are optimized to be viewed without sound. They\u2019re created to offer maximum impact in the shortest amount of time, to grab people\u2019s attention while they\u2019re doing something else \u2013 like commuting or watching TV.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main takeaway: the way people consume Instagram and YouTube content are inherently different, so you should adjust your <a href=\"https:\/\/planable.io\/blog\/youtube-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube marketing strategy<\/a> and Instagram campaigns accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Go For a Hybrid Stories-Feed Video Strategy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stories may be the hottest thing right now, but at the end of the day, feed videos are the best way to get a foothold in the Instagram ecosystem due to the simple fact that they remain there. Make sure you\u2019re utilizing both formats to their greatest potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Adhere to Instagram&#8217;s Video Specs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The best video format is MP4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The audio format should be AAC with 3500 kbps bitrate and H.264 codec.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A minimum frame rate of 30fps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The optimal resolution for video should be 1080px wide and 920px tall.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Should Instagram Videos Be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instagram has an array of different features built for specific types of videos. Including Reels, <a href=\"https:\/\/planable.io\/blog\/how-to-post-igtv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IGTV videos<\/a>, Story videos, feed videos, and live videos, the platform allows users to upload videos of all shapes, sizes and lengths. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Instagram\u2019s various video formats, their individual details and specifications, as well as tips and best practices for creating high-quality Instagram videos\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instagram Video (IGTV)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CW81MaWDABZ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Users can upload videos in either landscape or portrait, based on the size and specifics of the content they\u2019re creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users can upload HD-quality videos to Instagram Video. Initially, Instagram only supported vertical videos; however it now supports both landscape and vertical videos. If your file exceeds the platform&#8217;s limits, you may need to <a href=\"https:\/\/clideo.com\/resources\/how-to-compress-video-for-instagram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compress the video<\/a> before uploading, as the file size is capped at 5.4 GB and is restricted to MP4 format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most appealing thing is that Instagram Video is integrated into the Instagram ecosystem which makes cross-posting relatively easy. Upload a video and a 1-minute preview will pop up in your follower\u2019s feeds, together with a link leading to the full video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"elements-product-embed elements-product-embed--carousel elements-product-embed--has-info elements-product-embed--count-3\">\n            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info\">\n                            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info-left\">\n                    <h3 class=\"elements-product-embed__title\">\n                                                    Unlimited <span><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/all-items\"><strong>Creative Assets<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.

Stories display videos for up to 24 hours, after which they are saved into the archive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/how-to-use-instagram-stories-in-your-social-media-marketing-strategy\">Instagram Stories<\/a> is a fantastic feature that is custom built to reach a larger audience. So, it is advised not to overdo stories, as people will quickly lose interest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as formats are concerned, Stories supports 1080px X 1920px resolution videos, favoring the smartphone video style. Videos of any other sizes are resized to fit the screen, so it\u2019s recommended to film Stories videos in a vertical format.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You always want your Instagram Story to be a big hit. By following the correct video time limit, your account can reach unexpected heights of popularity. Here are a few tips to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consider sharing \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d type snippets on your Instagram Stories. Don\u2019t overdo it \u2014 chances are people don\u2019t care <em>that <\/em>much about the day-to-day at your business.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Combine 15-second videos into seven different story clips; that&#8217;s commonly considered&nbsp; a sweet spot for audience engagement. You don&#8217;t want followers rushing through your Stories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use relevant hashtags that are trending.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include relevant GIFS and stickers to make your stories more visually enticing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utilize Polls to encourage natural engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"elements-product-embed elements-product-embed--carousel elements-product-embed--has-info elements-product-embed--count-3\">\n            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info\">\n                            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info-left\">\n                    <h3 class=\"elements-product-embed__title\">\n                                                    Unlimited <span><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/all-items\"><strong>Creative Assets<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.

Stories are ephemeral \u2014 feed posts are forever (unless deleted by the user, obviously).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But enough with that, we\u2019re here to talk about video lengths. If you <a href=\"https:\/\/planable.io\/schedule-social-media-posts\/schedule-instagram-posts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post a video to the Instagram feed<\/a>, that video is limited to 60 seconds. You can technically upload a video longer than 1 minute, but Instagram will ask you to trim out a 1-minute section.&nbsp;Doing so is pretty straightforward \u2013 after selecting the video and tapping \u201cNext\u201d, simply hold and drag the video within the handles until you find the minute you\u2019d like to keep.&nbsp; Alternatively, you can also drag the handles to the right or left and select a portion shorter than 60 seconds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This might seem creatively restrictive, and in some ways it is. However, we\u2019d argue that limiting users to 1 minute videos encourages creators and brands to be more aware and concise with the content they put out. Plus, Instagram itself isn\u2019t really designed with long-form content consumption in mind \u2013 for that, there\u2019s always Instagram Video.

Offering a maximum time limit of 4 hours, live videos leave creators and brands with a lot of wiggle room to better interact with their followers and engage with them.&nbsp; If you want to go live for more than 4 hours, all you have to do is restart your live session and you can pick up where you left off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instagram Live can be a powerful tool in the right hands, as it boosts discoverability and helps brands build a stronger connection with the people that matter most \u2013 their audience. On that same note, Instagram live can also act as a valuable feedback and insight-gathering tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another small but mighty feature they\u2019ve recently introduced is the ability to go live with 3 other people, giving creators more opportunity to tap into each other\u2019s audiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"elements-product-embed elements-product-embed--carousel elements-product-embed--has-info elements-product-embed--count-3\">\n            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info\">\n                            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info-left\">\n                    <h3 class=\"elements-product-embed__title\">\n                                                    Unlimited <span><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/all-items\"><strong>Creative Assets<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.

Users can either upload directly from their camera roll or shoot a video natively from the app. Similar to TikTok, Reels sports a plethora of filters, sound bites and special effects that creators can use to add some sparkle to their videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"elements-gallery\">\n    <div class=\"elements-gallery__slider\">\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n            <div class=\"slider__items swiper-wrapper\">\n                                    <div class=\"slider__item swiper-slide\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\"\n                            class=\"slider__image\"\n                            src=\"https:\/\/elements-resized.envatousercontent.com\/elements-video-cover-images\/files\/304677154\/Urban+Fast+Intro.jpg?format=auto&#038;cf_fit=crop&#038;h=506&#038;w=900&#038;s=d45fd7d82a0dd7c15fe67c3e81b2ee0652ea64622899401b23f17eb778180992\"\n                            alt=\"Urban Fast Intro\"\n                        >\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"slider__controls\">\n                <a class=\"slider__control slider__control--prev\" href=\"#\">\n                    &lt;\n                <\/a>\n                <a class=\"slider__control slider__control--next\" href=\"#\">\n                    &gt;\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"elements-gallery__info\">\n        <div class=\"elements-gallery__info-left\">\n            <h3 class=\"elements-gallery__title\">\n                Urban Fast Intro            <\/h3>\n\n            <div class=\"elements-gallery__meta\">\n                By\n                <a class=\"elements-gallery__meta-link elements-gallery__meta-link--author\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/user\/Motion_LAB\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Motion_LAB                <\/a>\n                in\n                <a class=\"elements-gallery__meta-link elements-gallery__meta-link--category\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/video-templates\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Video Templates                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"elements-gallery__info-right\">\n            <a class=\"elements-gallery__more\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/urban-fast-intro-MGRW25J\" target=\"_blank\">\n                View more\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reels feature also comes with features that offer a lot of flexibility to creators. For instance, it allows you to shoot in breaks, set a timer, and shoot in different locations. Plus, re-recorded videos can also be uploaded, edited, and meshed together into a single reel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"elements-product-embed elements-product-embed--carousel elements-product-embed--has-info elements-product-embed--count-3\">\n            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info\">\n                            <div class=\"elements-product-embed__info-left\">\n                    <h3 class=\"elements-product-embed__title\">\n                                                    Unlimited <span><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/all-items\"><strong>Creative Assets<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.

So is there a hack around this? Well actually, there is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instagram Carousels allow users to upload up to ten videos and images into a single post. It works by allowing users to swipe through photos and videos, creating the illusion of motion. You can even <a href=\"https:\/\/napoleoncat.com\/blog\/how-to-add-music-to-instagram-post\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/napoleoncat.com\/blog\/how-to-add-music-to-instagram-post\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">add music to Instagram posts<\/a> whether it&#8217;s just photos or a mix of photos and videos to create a more fun and engaging experience for your followers.
