How To Create A Video For Instagram In iMovie

How to create a video for Instagram in iMovie

I was trying to create interesting ways to grab people's attention on Instagram in regards to needing a website. 
There are a lot of accounts with interesting posts but I still think videos might be my best bet over photos in reference to grabbing others attention ... I guess we will wait and see (post going out tomorrow).

So, how was I going to create something interesting yet simple? Here's how.

CANVA

I use a program called Canva to create almost every graphic I use. They are great because you can make the process as simple or difficult as you please. 
For the video I posted (below) I created the entire image first - saved - and continued to delete each icon - saving a new image one at a time.
7 images total.

iMOVIE

Now that my images are saved, I opened iMovie. 
Click upload and find the images you just downloaded - mine automatically go to the download folder. Then, open them in your project. Adjust the order and timing of each slide and save.
I download mine as an MP4 for universal use.
You can use this blog post as a guide.

DROPBOX

Everything is saved within my Dropbox account for easy access on my phone and other computers. Simply locate the file on your phone, export it, and open it in Instagram. 

Keep in mind this movie was made for Instagram (1x1), so it does not look as great when loaded in a wider format.
