Instagram Live and Live Rooms
Instagram Live and Instagram Live Rooms allow creators to go live with their followers, and even invite up to 3 guests. Going Live allows brands to connect with their followers on a more personal level, and directly answer questions in a matter of seconds.
Instagram Stories
Instagram Stories are a popular choice for video marketing as they’re so easy to make! Share videos with your followers in just a few clicks.

Instagram in-feed videos
There are no creative limits when it comes to Instagram short-form video posts. Brand’s can share video content that is 15-seconds up to 10-munites long on their profiles, for followers to enjoy. From product demo videos, tutorials, promo videos, and behind the scenes, the options are endless.
3. How to use a video template
Sometimes coming up with new Instagram video marketing ideas can be challenging, especially if you’re pushed for time. That’s why we recommend using a fully customizable Instagram video post template! Making professional-looking videos doesn’t have to be hard. Start by browsing our huge library of free video templates for any industry, then fully customize it to make it your own. Swap in your footage, change the color scheme with your business brand kit, change the background music, add your logo, and edit the text. Make sure to re-use the same Instagram video templates to keep consistency within your Instagram business profile.
4. How to use custom font
Create a consistent look and feel to build customer trust in your brand with custom fonts. Fonts are a big part of your brand, and with captioning on the rise, they’re a big part of your videos too. Select from a range of unique fonts from our fonts library, or upload your custom fonts using our brand kit feature.
3. How to use a brand logo
Your logo is your brand's signature, so we better see it in your Instagram videos. For this purpose, using a good and instantly recognizable logo is key. Upload your logo (or logos) to your brand kit so they can easily be added to your Instagram video content. Play with placement, transparency, and animation too! Placing your logo on every video will create better brand awareness with followers.
4. Batch-creating Instagram videos
The easiest way to stay on top of your Instagram video marketing is to batch create videos in advance. Save valuable hours and money, as well as keep your followers entertained with regular and relevant video content. Instead of finding a video to post directly from your camera roll, editing it on Instagram, creating a caption and tags all in one moment, save time and try content batching.
Batching content lets brands create all the captions and visuals during a set period. Rather than writing captions one by one each time you feel like posting, they’re already done for you if you set aside time for content batching.
5. Editing hacks for consistency on Instagram
Each business Instagram profile usually has its aesthetic. Followers can quickly browse an image or video and immediately associate a brand with it. Either through consistent and recognizable hashtags, filters, transitions, or even video editing styles.
Using the right ratios
When you’re selecting an Instagram video template or creating a video from scratch, make sure to select an aspect ratio that can be repurposed. Use our 1:1 Instagram ad maker for feed videos and our 9:16 Instagram story ad maker for Stories and Feed posts You'll never need to worry about resizing again.
Audio additions
Add music to Instagram videos by choosing from our royalty-free tracks in the stock library. Keep a music vibe and genre consistent on your Instagram videos so followers can easily identify your content.
Filters and transitions
There’s no better way to spice up your Instagram video marketing than with groovy filters and transitions. Filters give your edit a consistent look and feel. Add transitions and fades to create the perfect seamless video.
