There are many different ways to do this, including adding music within the app, using a third-party audio program, or a combination of both. Listed below are a few popular methods. Read on to find out more. Adding music to your video for Instagram can be an exciting way to express yourself and your personality.<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure the music is copyright-free. It&#8217;s easy to find copyright-free music on sites like Incompetech. In addition to offering royalty-free music, Incompetech also offers free tracks for a small fee. Because of this, you don&#8217;t have to pay for a license for your video. But, do remember that Instagram will likely remove your video if it contains copyrighted music. However, you can appeal Instagram&#8217;s decision if you have the permission of the original songwriter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cropping_your_video\"><\/span>Cropping your video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may have noticed that Instagram automatically crops your videos into a square shape. That&#8217;s because it automatically crops videos in a 4:3 ratio. If you&#8217;d like to post a video that&#8217;s in landscape orientation, you can manually crop it. Once you&#8217;ve done that, make sure you use the &#8220;Rotate&#8221; option in the video&#8217;s settings. If you&#8217;re worried about the black bars, use the following tricks to make it fit perfectly on the social media platform.<\/p>\n<p>To begin cropping your video, open it up in VLC media player. Click the Crop button, which is an icon with a mismatched rectangle. This will allow you to select part of your video and remove the rest. You can also adjust the overall length of your video by adjusting the handlesbars. If you crop your video correctly, the resulting image will look like the one you intended it to look like.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_cover\"><\/span>Adding a cover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have finished uploading your video to your Instagram account, you can edit it to give it a more personal touch. Instagram allows you to edit your reel cover photo in the editing menu. This means you can change it to make it fit better with the rest of your reel. You can also edit your cover image after uploading it to Instagram. You can only edit your cover image after you have uploaded it.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to add a cover to your video is to upload it to Instagram. You can do this by using a tool like Pixelied. These tools will allow you to insert a thumbnail image into the first five frames of your video. Alternatively, you can just upload a custom thumbnail from your camera roll. After you&#8217;ve uploaded the video, click on the thumbnail image to preview it on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_watermark\"><\/span>Adding a watermark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a watermark to videos for Instagram can be a great way to protect your content. Many people think that watermarking their work is inappropriate. However, it can have some advantages, such as increasing brand awareness and protecting against privacy violations. For example, adding a corporate logo or contact information to your videos can help your followers remember you and your content. Adding a watermark to your videos for Instagram can be a great way to promote your business or product.<\/p>\n<p>The process to add a watermark to your videos for Instagram is relatively simple. First, upload your video to the canvas. Once you have your video uploaded, add a watermark to it. The watermark should be a grayscale image, preferably transparent. Place your watermark on the screen, so that it appears throughout the video. You can also use any text you wish, provided that it is relevant to your content.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"203\" width=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_uslWs-TI3I\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Edit Videos For Instagram Instagram allows you to crop video in a number of ways, including using the &#8220;Crop&#8221; feature to maintain the aspect ratio of the original video.
