How to Record Video on Instagram: A Guide to Shooting Video on Instagram
4. 2. The app will default to taking a still image. To change to video recording, cick on
the video camera icon.
5. 3. To begin recording, press and hold your finger on the red video camera icon.
6. To stop recording, lift your finger off. Every time you stop and start a new snippet of
video recording, a break in the blue video bar is created to show it.
Instagram video clips have a maximum length of 15 seconds, and a minimum
length of 3 seconds. And unlike with photos you cannot import videos into
Instagram; they must be recorded from within the app.
7. 4. If you are unhappy with the previous snippet of video that you shot, you can
8. remove it by tapping the 'X' arrow. When the snippet of video you want to remove is
highlighted in red on the video bar, click the trash can icon to confirm its
deletion. You can only delete the previous clip, so be careful that each shot is
as you want it before you record a subsequent snippet. When you're done
recording, click Next.
9. 5. On the next screen, you can choose from over a dozen filters specific for
10. video and preview how your video will look. When you tap a filter, your video will
play automatically.
Cinema for Instagram
See the "shaky camera" icon below the video? That's Instagram's new Cinema mode,
designed to eradicate the jittery quality of so many mobile videos. Tap it and
the effect will be applied, smoothing out your unsteady camera work as best it can.
Click Next when you're happy.
11. 6. Now it's time to choose a cover frame for your video. Like YouTube's video
12. thumbnails, a video cover is the snapshot that will represent your video in its
best light in Instagram search and in your friend's feeds. Simply tap and slide
your finger over the bar at the bottom to select the frame you like best, and then click
Next to continue.
13. 7. Last up, it's time to give your video a caption (with hashtags, of course) and
14. choose your sharing options. Unlike with photos, you cannot tag people in
videos.
To post your Instagram, hit Share. Instagram will process your video for a short while
before it appears live on the app and on the web.
