How to Make Better Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories have quickly become a popular way for photographers, videographers, and other creatives to share real-time work, behind the scenes clips, and other interesting miscellany with their audiences. As their popularity continues to grow, here's how to to make your Stories stand out amongst the crowd.

Instagram stories are a great way to keep your audience engaged with you. While you may never post a behind the scenes image of you struggling with a light stand, the Stories section is the perfect place for those little moments throughout your day that humanize you a bit and condition your followers to invest in what you're doing a bit more. Nonetheless, even if Stories are a more raw look at your day, they can still benefit from the polish of your normal posts.

Coming to you from TravelFeels, this helpful tutorial will show you how to do just that. Just remember that Instagram doesn't allow you to move the crop when you upload a video instead of filming it in the app, so it's important to change the Premiere Pro settings to the proper dimensions and then crop your video as you see fit before sending it to your phone.
