Photos can be boring and unenlightening, while videos can be entertaining and engaging. With the right software, you can turn any Instagram photo into a video that will make you look good and make your friends jealous. You don’t even need to have any Instagram account! Here are three easy ways to turn an Instagram photo into a video with music:

  1. Use the software that comes with your phone to convert photos into videos. This software is called “Video Creator.” It’s free and easy to use. Just select the photos you want to convert into videos, choose the music you want to hear in each clip, and hit “convert.”
  2. Use online services like YouTube or Vimeo to upload your photos and videos together. These services offer great features for creating slideshow-style videos with multiple images. Just add each image separately as a file, select the duration of each clip, and hit “upload.”
  3. Use hashtags in your photos and videos to help people find them easier. For example, if you have a photo of yourself at a party with #funkyfridays all over it, put that photo on Instagram using the hashtag #funkyfridaysvideotutorial so people can find it more easily when they search for related content on your account.

Why Are Videos and Animated Stories Better Than Photos?

We’re not sure what Instagram’s exact algorithms are, but video stories seem to perform far better than photo stories.

If you add the hashtag #MyStory, your story will be shown in the story feed for that hashtag. However, if you add the hashtag #NotMyStory, your story will not be shown in the story feed.

Video stories always have a better chance to get featured than photo stories. This is great news because more featured stories means more impressions and potentially more followers.

Video content is better at keeping your followers engaged than text content. If you care about making quality content, it makes perfect sense to use this tutorial.

How to Turn an Instagram Photo Into a Video with Music

  1. Choose the right Instagram account to start with There are a lot of great Instagram accounts to start with if you want to create videos with music. If you’re looking for a more traditional account, like Vevo or YouTube, then you might want to look into those first. However, if you want to create videos with music from your own Instagram account, then we recommend using one of the following:
  2. Choose the right music for your video If you want your video to sound good and be catchy, it’s important that you choose a good song for it. There are many different types of music available that can be used in videos, so it’s important to find one that will work well for your video and your audience. You can find a list of popular songs here.

Hitfilm Express is a powerful video editing software that can be used to create animated videos. It can be used to make sure the video is the right length (under 15 seconds), ensure the video is the right dimensions (9:16), and source and add music. Hitfilm Express can also be used to add special effects, such as motion blur, sepia tones, and water droplets.

Step 1: Creating the Photo

To create an animated video about our Intel CPU comparison article, we’ll need to pick a photo. Here we’re going to use a screenshot from our article to create the video intro.

If you’re using Instagram, make sure your photo is the right size and resolution. If it’s already Instagram ready, you can skip this step.

Instagram Stories is a new way to share photos and videos with your followers. The resolution is flipped, so instead of 1920 x 1080 16:9 it is 1080 x 1920 9:16. This makes it a portrait resolution, not a landscape one.

  1. Choose a photo that is the same size as your article.
  2. Choose a photo that is in portrait mode and has the same dimensions as your article.

Next, use a basic photo editing tool to resize the image to a size that is comfortable for you. Now, use the same editing tool to adjust the brightness and contrast of the image. Finally, use a photo editor to add any text or graphics that you want.

Next, click the image select tool and then click and drag over the main area of the image. You are most likely going to need to crop out the areas on the side.

Next, press Ctrl+X. This will cut out the selected area. After, click File at the top left, then New, then set the parameters to 1080 width and 1920 height.

After that, press Ctrl+V – your photo will now be sitting in a new area that is appropriately sized.

First, we could add a caption to the bottom of the image that explains what the photo is about. This could be something like “A view from the top of a building in downtown Los Angeles.” Second, we could add a video below the photo that tells the story of how this view came to be. This could be something like “A view from downtown Los Angeles taken from atop a building.”

The first thing is some context. You can use the ‘A’ text tool (1) to add text. Use the box on the right (2) to adjust font size and the box on the far left to change font type.

The small black square in the corner is for choosing the text color. Once you are finished typing, use the move tool (4) to drag the text box into a more suitable position.

After adding some text, this is the result. It’s much better, but there is still a lot of white space at the top.

Thankfully, we can resolve this by adding black bars at the top and bottom of the image. It’ll look like the overall image size is smaller on Instagram and we can even hide some hashtags in this area. More on that later.

To create black bars on an image, first select the rectangle select tool (1), and then create a rectangle at the top of your image. Afterward, select the paint bucket tool (2). Click to fill the area (3). You can use the color select tool (4) to change color if it’s not already on black. ..

Step 1: Paint the main white area with a light color. Step 2: Use the brush tool to add some details to the white area. Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the bottom part of the image. ..

After saving the image, it’s time to move on and find a new place to keep it. Click File > Export and find a suitable location so that you can easily find it later.

When exporting files, it’s important to remember to add the .PNG extension so that the file is saved in the correct format. ..

Now that you have your photo ready to be edited, there are a few things you need to do to make sure the final product is perfect. ..

Step 2: Turning the Photo Into a Video

Open up your photo in Hitfilm Express. We’ll guide you through every step below.

On the Custom template page, in the Template Name field, type a name for your project. In the Project Description field, type a brief description of your project. In the Project Start Date field, type the date your project begins. In the Project End Date field, type the date your project ends. Click Save at the bottom of the page. After signing in, click File and then New on the top of the page. On the project settings page, scroll down on the template selector and click Custom. In the Template Name field, type a name for your project. In the Project Description field, type a brief description of your project. In the Project Start Date field, type today’s date (or select an earlier date from drop-down menu). In the Project End Date field, type today’s date (or select an earlier date from drop-down menu). Click Save at bottom of page ..

Next, make sure your settings reflect what we have selected below. Finally, click Start Editing.

This is a brief overview of what you are looking at.

In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to create a basic website. This website will be used as an example for the rest of the tutorial.

In the Media panel, click the Import arrow, then click Photos. In the Photos panel, select your photo and click the Import button.

  1. Click the “Photos” tab at the top of your Facebook page.
  2. Find the photo you want to use and click on it.
  3. On the right side of the screen, you’ll see a button that says “Import.” Click on that button.
  4. You’ll see a window like this:
  5. In the window, you’ll need to find your photo’s location on Facebook. To do that, click on the “Location” button and then select where you want to save your photo (for example, in your profile picture album).
  6. Once you’ve found your photo’s location, click on the “Import” button to upload it to Facebook! ..

The media and effects panel allows you to quickly and easily create a timeline of your video project. This panel will help you to keep track of your progress and ensure that your video is completed correctly.

The video should play for 4 seconds by default on Instagram. We can increase it to 14 seconds. If the video goes over the limit, it cannot be used.

To change how long your photo plays in the video, right-click it in the timeline panel and click Speed/Duration. ..

You can adjust the duration option in the Speed/Duration tab to 14 seconds. After, click OK to apply the changes. You will now have your full length Instagram story with 14 seconds of footage. Time to add some effects!

The media and effects panel is a place where you can see how the different types of media have an impact on our society. You can see how social media affects the way people communicate, how advertising affects our diets, and more.

There are many effects you can play around with, most of which are free. To test effects, simply click and drag the effect into your photo in the timeline. After adding an effect, press play and you can view it in the viewer panel. If you don’t like an effect, press Ctrl+Z to undo it. ..

Some of the effects in the photo editor only add a basic filter to your photo, which can be a little boring. If you want more interesting effects, you can find them in the Warp, Grunge, Quick 3D, and Particles & Simulation folders.

We created a piece of art using the Sparks effect under the Quick 3D tab. With this effect, it looks like a spark fires out of the processor chip. ..

If you would like to add music, you must find MP3 files or other audio files. There are many free resources online for royalty free music, which should be used if you are running a business. Or, you can use copyrighted material as long as it falls under fair use.

To import music using the same method that you used to import your photo, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Music app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Tap the Albums tab at the top of the screen.
  3. Select the album that you want to import and then tap Import.
  4. If you have photos associated with the album, they will be imported along with the music. ..

The first is the timeline slider, which you can use to adjust the playback speed of your audio. The second is the audio mixer, which you can use to mix different parts of your audio together.

To edit the audio (3) in your timeline, you can use the slice tool (2) to cut the audio into two separate portions. After cutting it, use the move tool (1) to select each portion. You can press ‘delete’ on your keyboard to delete any portion you don’t want. Use the Move tool (1) to click and drag the audio into a new position on the timeline.

You may need to listen to the audio to find the best 14 second chunk to use. Here is what your timeline should look like after editing the audio. After editing the audio, you will need to create a timeline that shows where each sound was heard in relation to one another. The following is an example of a timeline for a news report: 00:00 - The sound of thunder can be heard in the background. 01:14 - The sound of a car driving can be heard in the background. 02:24 - The sound of someone screaming can be heard in the background. 03:30 - The sound of someone breaking glass can be heard in the background. 04:36 - The sound of someone running can be heard in the background. ..

If you want the audio to fade out, open the effects tab on the media and Effects panel. Scroll through the effects and find the Transitions – Audio folder. Click to open it. Find the Fade option and click and drag it to the end of your audio clip in the timeline.

How to Add More Images To Your Video

Hitfilm Express is a great tool for making slideshow-style videos. You can use the move tool in the timeline to reduce the size of your photo clip at the end, so it looks like it’s moving. ..

To add a photo or video, open the media and effects panel and click on the import option. Then, drag and drop your files into the timeline. ..

To create a smooth transition between slides, you can use the move tool in the timeline panel to adjust the length of each clip. There is also an effect in the effects tab on the media/effects panel that can be used to fade out each slide. ..

Exporting Your Video, Ready For Instagram

Export your new video to a file name that you can use to refer to it in the future. In this example, I will call the file “video1.mp4”.

To make sure it fits on Instagram, you will need to create a new custom export preset. Look for the Preset tab on the left side of the screen. On this tab, click New Preset. Next, click MPEG-4 (.mp4).

Settings: -Computer name: MyComputer -Password: MyPassword -Country: United States of America Click ‘OK’ to save the changes.

Next, you’ll find your project ready to export. Click the dropdown box on the Preset section and choose the preset you have just created. Finally, click the Start Exporting button at the bottom of the Queue panel.

Your video will now export. Once it has exported, you’ll be able to find your video on your computer.

Uploading Your New Animated Story To Instagram

  1. Choose the right hashtags for your video.
  2. Share your video on Instagram with the right hashtags.
  3. Follow other Instagrammers who have made videos with the same hashtag and see what they are doing to promote their videos!

To transfer your video to your device:

  1. Open the app on your device that you used to record the video.
  2. Tap the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Select “Media.”
  4. Tap “Copy.”
  5. Tap “Open in New Window” and select your device from the list of options.
  6. Tap “OK.”
  7. Your video will now be on your device! You can add it to a story or post it online using hashtags if you want. ..

There are a number of ways to transfer your new video to your smartphone. The easiest would be to use a cloud photo app like iCloud on iOS or Google Photos on Android. Alternatively, you can transfer it via USB. ..

Upload the file to your Instagram account by tapping the camera button in the very top left or the Your Story button.

To view your video, tap the video reel button at the bottom left. You can now find and select the video that you created. ..

But there’s a new way to submit your story to Instagram, which is called “Instagram Stories.” This new way of submitting your story is similar to how you would submit it to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms. But instead of just typing out a story, you can use the app’s Story Creator tool to create a story that will be shared on Instagram. To use the Story Creator tool, you first need to create a profile for yourself on Instagram. Then, you need to add a photo of your article or piece of writing and add the hashtag #storycreator. After that, you can start creating your story by selecting one of the following options: -Storyboard: This option will allow you to create a basic storyboard that will be shared on Instagram. You can choose how many stories you want to share and how long each one should be. -Video: This option will allow you to create a video that will be shared on Instagram. You can choose how many minutes long the video should be and how long it should be for each part of the story. -Text: This option will allow you to create a text version of your article or piece of writing that will be shared on Instagram. You can choose how many words per line and how long each text block should be.

If you’d like to get even more exposure on your new story, you can add up to 10 relevant hashtags. This will help people find and follow your story more easily. ..

#example: A hashtag to use when discussing a topic

You can change the text color to black and then drag the text into the black area in your story. This lets you include hashtags whilst keeping them hidden.
