Make video longer for Instagram
Before editing your video and uploading it to Instagram, you have to be sure it’s the right length for the desired purpose. Let’s take a precise look at all of the possible post types:
Instagram Feed — The required length for Instagram feed post is from 3 seconds to 60 seconds. If you want to show your followers a video longer than that you can first cut it into a few parts and then upload it into one post with the help of the carousel feature.
Instagram Stories — The app allows you to upload a story up to 15 seconds long. Don’t worry if it’s longer, Instagram will trim the original video into pieces so that you could post one video in several stories.
IGTV — Here you can upload a video from 15 seconds to 10 minutes long.
