I need to be sure to right click and select Scale to Frame Size.

Once created, I can overlay the color matte on my sequence and then bring the opacity down to make it transparent. I'll go with 900x1600 for Instagram Stories. I’ll select a nice bright color and then type in a custom width and height matching one of the Instagram platforms. First I’ll go to File > New > Color Matte. To get around this, I use color mattes to create custom overlays. One of the downsides of using custom export presets is that you can’t perfectly position your content like you can with sequence presets.

Also, pay attention to the length requirements I mentioned in the first section for each platform. If your file doesn't look good on Instagram (or just plain isn't working), play with these settings. Also, you can make adjustments to the bitrate encoding and target bitrate to change the size and quality of your files. For example, H.264 isn't the only format that works on Instagram, but it is the one that they prefer.

Here’s a closer look at the aspect ratio and video length requirements of each particular platform.ġ5 seconds-10 minutes in length (up to 60 minutes for larger accounts) These include landscape 16:9 for horizontal video, 4:5 and 9:16 for vertical video, and 1:1 for square. Each platform has its own tech specs which often lead to confusion for editors. One of the main points of confusion is the number of possible aspect ratios you can use when exporting for Instagram. These include the main feed, Stories, and the newly released Instagram TV. When publishing to Instagram, you have a number of options regarding platforms.
