As someone who works with several social media clients, it always surprises me when they are unaware that they can post multiple videos on Instagram. You are probably aware of the recent announcement from the head of Instagram. Where he said that Instagram as an organisation will be moving more towards video content. This has caused a little bit of a panic among several small business owners. Since creating videos requires a lot more effort on their path. Let me know if this sounds familiar. While creating videos is a lot of fun. The time it takes to create videos is a lot longer than image creation. Video requires getting dressed up to show up on camera. Other shorter videos require a bit of humour to get engagement. In this post, you'll learn 5 clever ways to create videos fast as well as how to post multiple videos on Instagram. 4 Instagram Video Locations Before diving into the tips on video creation, let's first look at where you can post videos on Instagram. If you are a regular user of the Instagram platform these 4 locations will not surprise you. Instagram FeedIGTVReelsInstagram Stories Let's look at each area in a little bit of detail in terms of the standard requirements like video lengths and sizes. Instagram Feed When Instagram was first launched back in 2010 by Kevin Systrom, it came on the market as a photo-sharing app. As time went on videos were allowed as well. However, it wasn't until 2017 before users were able to share a mix of photos and videos in feed posts using the newly created carousel feature. As we are specifically focused on video the requirements to publish a video in your IG feed are as follows: Format - MP4Longest video length - 60 secondsMax file size - 15MBMaximum width - 1080 pixelsFrame rate - 30 FPSH.264 codecAAC audio3500 kbps bitrate Bear in mind that you can publish a mix of photos and videos in your Instagram feed. IGTV I still find this difficult to believe but did you know that IGTV was only launched on Instagram in June of 2018? It feels like it is an application that has been available to the public for a much longer time period. In a similar fashion to the IG feed, IGTV has its own set of requirements. Aspect Ratio - 9:16 (preferred) and 16:910 Minute Video - Max 650MBMaximum length - 15 minutes from mobile, 60 minutes from the webMax File size - 3.5GBYou can add a link in the description or captionThese videos don't expireFile format - MP4Pre-recorded videos are fine What's great about IGTV is that you can create longer videos which means that the video creation experience is less stressful. When you go live on Instagram you can save the live video as an IGTV post and it will be displayed as a regular Instagram post. One of the best ways to create content consistently is to develop an IGTV series. Reels The most recent addition or new feature to the Instagram video family is Reels. If you are a TikTok user then Reels will be easy for you to use. However, if delivering short messages is not your thing, it will take time to grow into IG Reels. Let's look at the specific requirements for a Reels video. Format - 1080x1350 or 4:5Thumbnail size - 1:1 or square formatMax length - 15 secondsEntertaining - lol!! This reminds me of the movie, Gone in 60 Seconds. Rumour has it that Instagram will soon extend the length of Reels to 60 seconds. Instagram Stories My second favourite place to create content for Instagram is using Stories. What makes Stories user-friendly is that there are so many features available for small business owners. Let's look at the required format of videos created for Instagram Stories. Format - MP4 or MOVMax length - 15 second per slide (up to 2 minutes per story - 8 slides)Aspect ratio - 1080 x 1920 (9:16)Video size - up to 14MB I really like the fact that videos can be up to two minutes in length.
