But Instagram Stories aren\u2019t the only way to be a great storyteller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s join millions of creators and master not only the 15-second video format but also other formats Instagram offers. To start understanding this Instagram video length limit, note that you have a number of other formats at your disposal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instagram Formats:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#stories\">Stories<\/a> &#8211; 3 to 15 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#insta-post\">Posts<\/a>&#8211; 15 seconds x 10, and they don\u2019t self-delete&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#insta-reels\">Reels<\/a> &#8211; 3 seconds to 30 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#IGTV\">IGTV<\/a> &#8211; 15 seconds to 10 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#insta-ad\">Ads<\/a> &#8211; 3 seconds to 2 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#insta-live\">Live<\/a> &#8211; up to 1 hour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have a &#8220;<a href=\"#pro-tip\">pro-tip<\/a>&#8221; to share with you, to make your Instagram account stand out from others!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Video Editing Is A Challenge. Make It Easy On Yourself.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before sharing your Instagram Stories, you\u2019ll also want to master a few video-editing skills and know your tools inside and out.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kdan.com\/writeon-video\">Write-on Video<\/a> provides a great way to start. Being a compelling storyteller is quite a challenge in the 15-second format. With Instagram\u2019s built-in video tools, you don\u2019t have as much creative freedom over your content.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Write-on Video, content can be exported to Instagram and improve your stories with richer, better-edited content. When it comes to making good videos, you\u2019ll want your editing software to be up to the task, intuitive, and easy to maneuver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We designed Write-on Video with all storytellers in mind. Instagram Stories utilize the short video format. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important for creators like you to design <a href=\"https:\/\/support.kdanmobile.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/900000195383-What-are-Storyboards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">storyboards<\/a> and make outlines for your content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have a small window to \u201cwow\u201d your audience. Write-on Video\u2019s storyboard lets you meticulously plan each clip to leave a lasting impression in the 15-second time span. You can also collaborate with friends and team members who can add a new perspective before you hit \u201cpublish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s Look Back To Understand Trends For 2021<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The short 15-second video format is the most popular compared to other video lengths, but it hasn\u2019t always been that way. Instagram Posts were image-only from 2010 until 2013. Since adding video, Instagram has become more and more popular &#8211; and not only with short videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2008, a little thing called the iPhone 3G was announced. The idea of a \u201ccamera in every pocket\u201d became a reality with its debut. Snapchat emerged a few years later with the 15-second video, and it quickly became an art form in itself. Within months, many other apps adopted and perfected this ultra-short format.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?resize=490%2C633&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chart of Instagram user growth from 2013 to 2021\" class=\"wp-image-7485\" width=\"490\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?resize=793%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 793w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?resize=768%2C991&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?resize=400%2C516&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?resize=480%2C620&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 85vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Data courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Statista<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, and Facebook Video reach 500M+ daily users over the years. That makes these short-video platforms some of the largest social media audiences in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It pays to master the art of these short video clips. If you have a creative imagination and the right tools, millions of people can see your content. Who knows, you may even go viral!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only use the basic editing tools within Instagram, you\u2019re missing out on the opportunity to create truly eye-catching content. When you add more of your personal or brand\u2019s style with Write-on Video, your videos get a flare that sets them apart from other creators\u2019 works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Instagram Is The Best Place For Your Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram has recently become an excellent social media platform for businesses. A single picture of a brick and mortar boutique, or a fancy <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wishpond.com\/post\/115675438253\/restaurant-instagram-marketing-tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restaurant<\/a>, can become viral on the platform. It&#8217;s even one of the top tools for individuals marketing themselves. If you\u2019re selling or promoting, Instagram has many great tools for you to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to other apps, Instagram is better for a wider variety of storytellers. Both Snapchat and Tiktok use the 15-60s video format. Instagram is becoming more flexible, supporting long-form and medium-length videos so that you can tell your story the way you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s critical to understand how long can Instagram videos be, and how these video features work and how they differ in length. Let\u2019s dive in to learn more about the different Instagram feed video lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stories\" style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Stories: Exclusive 15-Second Clips From Today<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram Stories can be up to 15 seconds long. They stay visible on your followers\u2019 feeds for 24 hours before they self-delete. They\u2019re immediate, potent, and recent. The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kicksta.co\/instagram-stories-for-business-everything-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram story<\/a> video length is kept short so Instagram users can see many creators in a short amount of time, giving followers a pulse on the day\u2019s events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write-on Video lets you compose a 15-second video like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.jpg?resize=493%2C493&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Video Outline and create pods features from a video editor app called Write-on Video\" class=\"wp-image-7490\" width=\"493\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.jpg?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.jpg?resize=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 493px) 85vw, 493px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Outline and create pods<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Outline every second.

In the template, we have 5x 4-second pods, but you can easily mix and match them: there\u2019s no specific length requirement. You can even use 2-second pods or 3-second pods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Write-on Video, it\u2019s simple to sync your clips to your music. If you\u2019re using a \u00be time music track, make a pod precisely 1.2 or 2.4 seconds, so it flips right on the beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"insta-post\" style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Instagram Posts: The Original<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Back when the Instagram app was just for pictures, Instagram Posts were the format to use. Posts use the 15-second video format, but they don\u2019t expire from your Instagram account after 24 hours like Instagram Stories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Posts can be combined in an Instagram Carousel Post, allowing you to attach up to 10 videos or photos together in one group. That gives you up to 2 minutes and 30 seconds to tell your story. If you want to share a little more with followers, this is a convenient way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you are uploading many videos separated into 15-second clips, you can use Write-on Video\u2019s pods to help keep the videos organized all in one place. You can even make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renderforest.com\/blog\/instagram-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram templates<\/a> of your brand&#8217;s style to share with collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.jpg?resize=503%2C503&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7494\" width=\"503\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.jpg?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.jpg?resize=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 85vw, 503px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Courtesy of Instagram<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019ve saved lots of 15-second clips to the camera roll with Write-on Video, you can easily mix and match them.

Your Reel content then has a greater chance to stand out and for users to discover your content. The more time you spend editing and refining your Reels can pay off because of their longevity and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/5.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/5.png?resize=562%2C317&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7496\" width=\"562\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/5.png?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/5.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/5.png?resize=768%2C434&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/5.png?resize=480%2C271&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 562px) 85vw, 562px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Courtesy of Instagram<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Reels have their own feed, they can still get lost in the sea of other content. The best way not to get lost is to tag your content. Reels have a unique tab on Instagram Explore (the tab with the magnifying glass icon), so users worldwide, not just your followers, have a chance to see your content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reels are a higher production value than other types of clips. Instagram gives you more editing capabilities with AR effects and clip management. But if you post on Snapchat, Facebook, and Tiktok, too, you\u2019ll want to store and edit your videos in a separate app. Write-on Video is perfect for Reels with its advanced clipping, collaboration, planning, and audio options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write-on Video lets you save your projects to the cloud, sync them with your devices, and work seamlessly between iOS and macOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have twice the time as Stories and can afford to make your pods a bit longer, too. Outlines also help you remember what you\u2019re going to say. When you\u2019re ready, you can record your clips without even leaving Write-on Video.

You can leave comments and brainstorm your project ideas, making it a fun process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"IGTV\" style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>IGTV: Best For Long-Form, Richer Storytelling<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>IGTV (Instagram TV) is best for business and verified accounts with over 10,000 followers.

That\u2019s a big market for video content, and a key reason you should start making videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t limit yourself to one channel or video format. Use them all! For long-form videos, you can edit and store your content in Write-on Video and publish to more platforms than just Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unverified account holders can upload videos from 15 seconds to ten minutes. At the moment, IGTV supports both horizontal (16:9) and vertical (9:16) video formats which are perfect for social media sharing. Write-on Video is ideal for IGTV users who want to make longer videos. For example, you can zoom in to videos or photos and frame them just the way you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9.jpg?resize=531%2C531&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7501\" width=\"531\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9.jpg?w=832&amp;ssl=1 832w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kdan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9.jpg?resize=480%2C480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 531px) 85vw, 531px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">Aspect ratio and zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumping between Tiktok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook is easy with pre-set templates for aspect ratios for different screen sizes and apps right in Write-on Video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just save to the Kdan Cloud, open your synced video on the macOS app, and open your content on the big screen for a full non-linear editor experience.

Share your editing progress as a storyboard and include comments, outline, and clip previews. It\u2019s just like how professional video directors create movies, TV shows, and other professional content, especially when they need to design to fit within a time limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of using IGTV when posting content is that there are no ads that show up mid-way through a video, so viewers can enjoy more of your content without being bombarded with annoying advertisements. With all that extra length, it can be easy to lose your favorite clips. Don&#8217;t forget to include hashtags to make your clip or a similar type of video easy to find later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"insta-ad\" style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Good Creators Know This About Instagram Shopping<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Shopping on Instagram happens in two ways<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instagram Feed ads&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instagram Story ads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Reels having its own tab in Explore, Shopping gets a dedicated tab in the app. Users can browse and even buy from their favorite brands, with a full in-app checkout process.

Story ads have a 120-second limit.

As a business, you need to capture attention quickly but can still show lots of detail, even on a mobile device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, each 15-second clip can be made with 5 pods in Write-on Video. Each 15-second clip can have its own template, conveniently organizing your content and re-using what works well. Every 15 seconds, you can show a different product or market a variety of perspectives on your product or brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you create, edit, and store these pods in Write-on Video, you can re-use them, mix and match them to create all kinds of new and different videos, well beyond the Instagram platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram\u2019s rise doesn\u2019t seem to be slowing. Marketers worldwide are investing more and more into their <a href=\"https:\/\/bizcognia.com\/instagram-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram marketing strategy<\/a> running Instagram ads, and we recommend that you do too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"insta-live\" style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Broadcast The Real You With Instagram Live&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need even more time to tell your story, the Instagram Live video length lets you broadcast a live stream for up to an hour. After it\u2019s over, your followers will be able to see it as a story on their feed for up to 24 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram Live is interactive. If your followers watch in real-time, they can comment, ask questions, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry if you end up passing the hour mark. You can quickly start a new, separate broadcast where you&#8217;ll have another hour to connect with your followers. You can repeat this action as long as you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Live broadcasts are a very interactive form of communication with your audience. You&#8217;ll be able to read the active comments from your followers in real-time while also keeping track of how many viewers there are.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you go live, Instagram will notify all of your followers that there&#8217;s a new live video starring you. When it\u2019s live, anything can happen!
